Job Description

At GE Vernova, we are energizing the world while accelerating the path to a more reliable, sustainable energy future.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Strategy: Define and execute the roadmap for HIL testing, virtual commissioning, and simulation infrastructure across the BESS portfolio.
HIL Architecture & Development: Design, build, and maintain real-time simulation test benches to test physical controllers and embedded software under realistic grid and battery operating conditions.
Plant & Grid Modeling: Develop, validate, and maintain high-fidelity plant models—including battery cell/stack models, , inverters, and AC/DC power grid networks using tools like MATLAB/Simulink or RSCAD. .
SIL Architecture & Development: Design, build, and maintain virtual simulation test benches to test project specific controls software for development and commissioning troubleshooting.
Automation & CI/CD Integration: Develop automated test scripts and frameworks to integrate HIL/SIL testing into our continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) software pipelines, accelerating release cycles while maintaining rigorous quality gates.
Data Analysis & Reporting: Analyze large volumes of simulation and test data to evaluate BESS performance, dynamic response, and compliance limits. Interpret complex test results, identify root causes for anomalies or edge-case failures, and translate findings into clear, actionable insights and technical reports for cross-functional engineering teams.
Fault & Edge Case Validation: Simulate extreme grid disturbance events (e.g., low/high voltage ride-through, frequency response, grid faults) and internal battery fault scenarios to verify system protection and control logic safely.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with firmware, controls, systems engineering, and product validation teams to reproduce field issues, verify bug fixes, and sign off on new software releases.
Mentorship: Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and best-practice training to junior and mid-level engineers on the simulation and testing team.
• Process Innovation: Drive productivity initiatives and standardize modeling workflows to accelerate NPI (New Product Introduction) cycles.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Control Systems, or a related technical field.
6+ years of engineering experience in power electronics, renewable energy, or grid-tied systems.
3+ years specifically focused on HIL/SIL testing, real-time simulation, and control system validation.
Familiar with GE Mark VIe controllers
Demonstrated hands-on experience with real-time HIL hardware and software platforms (e.g., Typhoon HIL, Opal-RT, or National Instruments).
Strong proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow, PLECS, or C/C++ for model development and auto-code generation.
Deep understanding of BESS architecture, including Battery Management Systems (BMS), Power Conversion Systems (PCS), and Energy Management Systems (EMS).
Excellent problem-solving abilities, strong technical communication skills, and a demonstrated ability to lead projects in a fast-paced environment.
Familiarity with grid codes, utility interconnection standards (e.g., IEEE 1547, UL 9540), and power system dynamics.
Willingness to travel up to 20%
Comfortable working with global teams, including flexibility across time zones
Proactively identifies and removes organizational obstacles, enabling the team to execute with speed and clarity
