Overview
Lead Power Electronics Engineer - Electromechanical at GE Vernova. You will be a key player in the multidisciplinary Systems Engineering group, delivering MW-scale drive and power conversion systems for Marine, Energy, and Industrial sectors.
Reporting to the Power Electronics Engineering Manager, you will lead and execute the design process for Low- and Medium-Voltage power electronics for Drive Systems projects.
Responsibilities
* Lead the end-to-end design and integration of electromechanical packaging solutions for high-power drive systems (LV/MV).
* Own the mechanical and electrical design of power converters and enclosures, integrating structural, thermal, and electrical packaging.
* Drive design for manufacturing (DfM) initiatives to ensure cost-effective, scalable, and robust hardware architectures.
* Interpret and direct electrical schematics using tools like Eplan and manage BOMs with robust change control.
* Lead or support thermal and structural simulations, validation, and full-system testing to ensure reliability under harsh operating conditions.
* Ensure compliance with health & safety, international standards, and class society requirements (e.g., Lloyds Register, DNV).
