The Lead Engineer will be part of a highly motivated, dynamic team of engineers in the Product Care Department. The role involves leading the design and development of modelling techniques for HVDC systems, mentoring engineers, and contributing to industry standards. It also encompasses development and maintenance of control and protection system application software for LCC and VSC HVDC schemes following the full SDLC.
The position requires experience in HVDC control engineering and software development, working on the design of HVDC Control Systems for GE’s globally recognized contributions.
Responsibilities
* Lead and take ownership of the design and development of modelling and control techniques in both time- and frequency-domain to satisfy HVDC market needs.
* Lead and take ownership of the development of requirement, design and test specifications for Control & Protection Application.
* Lead design and development of event and rate driven application software for control and protection systems.
* Lead and take ownership of the validation efforts with high-fidelity computer models in Model-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop, using tools such as MATLAB / Simulink, PSCAD and RSCAD.
* Apply prior experience and on-the-job training to solve problems.
* Propose solutions utilizing in-depth knowledge of a technical discipline, analytical thinking, and technical experience in solving problems.
* Proficient in identifying and resolving underlying issues through RCA.
* Lead team members on Git, Jira and Confluence for version control, task/defect management, and documentation.
* Able to understand the collaborative nature of control software development.
* Curiosity and willingness to question assumptions and ability to explain and understand individual contributions within the bigger system.
* Interest in real grids and real operating conditions and alignment with long-term learning rather than short-term results.
Qualifications
* Engineering degree in Computer Science or power systems and power electronics subjects, or proven equivalent knowledge and experience in HVDC business.
* Proven knowledge in power system modelling, control principles and algorithms used in VSC and LCC HVDC technologies.
* Knowledge of HVDC system design, control and protection, including component-level interactions and considerations in HVDC schemes.
* Working knowledge of MATLAB / Simulink for control development.
* Competent on functional characteristics of power systems and interactions between AC and HVDC systems.
* Familiar with Agile Software development practices and basics of Git for version control.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills and can-do attitude.
