Job Description

The HQ Global Process Engineering Authority (GPEA) for Assembly, Functional Testing & Facility is the enterprise-wide architect for GE Vernova’s product integration and validation framework, supporting Power, Wind, and Electrification across +130 manufacturing facilities.

Key Responsibilities

Standards Governance: Synthesize, author, and govern the 1P1P standards using existing templates (e.g., Global Technical Equipment Specifications (TES), Manufacturing Process Standards (MPS), Automation Process Standards (APS), Request for Quote (RFQ), etc.) for all Assembly, Test, and Facility subclasses.
Integration & Flow Optimization: Define the technical standards for electro-mechanical assembly (e.g. Torque, Tension, Fit), balancing, and the physical flow of parts (e.g. part handling, part movement) to ensure a high-velocity and ergonomic manufacturing environment.
Locked Configuration Management: Evaluate successful business-level innovations in technologies such as precision torquing, leak testing, automated kitting and codify them into locked configurations to enable rapid enterprise-wide deployment and capital efficiency.
Performance Validation Standards: Establish and enforce equipment capability standards for functional testing (Electrical, Mechanical, Fluid, Functional) to ensure that every product shipped meets strict design-compliance and field-reliability requirements.
Facility & Infrastructure Integration: Architect the enterprise strategy for standardized facility requirements—including industrial utilities, HVAC, lifting/rigging standards, specialized test bay enclosures, and facility-level environmental controls—to ensure a safe, optimized, and repeatable integration process.
SQDC Orchestration: Collaborate with Business GPELs and Factory LPEAs to translate assembly and test data into measurable improvements in Safety (Ergonomics/Lifting), Quality (First Pass Yield/Leak Reduction), Delivery (Takt Time), and Cost (Capacity Optimization) across the Business/Segment/Enterprise.
P&E Strategic Authority: Act as the final technical authority for enterprise-wide assembly, test, and facility infrastructure investments, ensuring alignment with the 1P1P global taxonomy.

Requirements

Education & Experience: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering OR a minimum of 15 years of extensive industrial experience in complex mechanical assembly and functional testing, with demonstrated success in developing and engineering assembly and test solutions in complex, multi-site technical manufacturing environments.
Core Industrial Experience: Minimum of 10 years of industrial experience in high-precision assembly or functional testing (e.g., Power Generation, Aerospace, or Automotive integration), including a Global Technical Lead or Enterprise Scaling capacity across multiple manufacturing sites.
Technical Proficiency: Deep expertise in precision electro-mechanical assembly (e.g., advanced torquing/bolting), balancing, and functional performance testing (e.g., High Voltage, Fluid Power, or Dynamic Run tests).
Systemic Knowledge: Proficiency in interpreting complex design requirements and the ability to bridge the gap between engineering specifications and the physical integration/test environment.
Standardization Expertise: Proven history of developing and enforcing technical standards for integration equipment and facility-level health that have successfully scaled globally.
Experience using CAD/CAM software like NX, SolidWorks, MasterCAM, Predator, and Vericut
The ability to create manufacturing, electro-mechanical, and automation standards (hardware, process, and qualification).
Ability to interpret blueprints, specifications, drawings, and schematics
Project Management skills and experience
Direct leadership experience of both professional and production employees.
Travel Percentage: +35%
Flow & Integration Visionary: Ability to identify opportunities to enhance throughput and reliability through the integration of real-time assembly monitoring and automated functional testing.
Strategic Influencer: Strong leadership skills to align Business Leaders and Factory Teams around a single "Gold Standard," even when it requires moving away from localized legacy assembly, testing, or facility practices.
Reliability Advocate: Passion for how "Source Point Quality"—achieved through standardized assembly and testing—can be leveraged to drive step-change improvements in field asset performance.
Lean-Facility Integration: Expertise in applying Lean principles (3P, Kaizen, Standard Work) to the architecture of an assembly cell and test bay, ensuring that technology serves the safety, quality, and flow of the operator. Read, create and update electro-mechanical schematics
Experience in manual and CNC technology in a production and processing environment
Experience with machine learning and AI applications to support adaptive manufacturing processes
This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.
