Manager - Modeling and Grid Integration at GE Vernova in Remote

Manager - Modeling and Grid Integration Location: Remote Job Description Summary Systems Manager is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user’s needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation. Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance. Job Description As a member of the GE Power Conversion and Storage (PCS) team, the successful candidate will be an active contributor supporting GE PCS business initiatives related to power systems and power electronics equipment and services.

Responsible for managing people in APAC region. Provide technical leadership to the Modeling and Grid Integration team in APAC region. Work with business development and sales team to increase the GE market share in Australia and New Zealand region for Solar, Storage, Synchronous Condensers and STATCOM products using our inhouse capabilities. Expertise in developing and tuning controller to achieve desired performance requirement established in grid codes. Develop technical understanding of electrical characteristics of GE PCS power electronics products and their integration to electrical grids. Support customers with power systems engineering expertise; including equipment design, specification studies, performance studies, commissioning support, troubleshooting, and failure mode analyses. Supporting continuous development of transmission and distribution connected products based on evolving codes and standards through participation in industry standards groups and leading innovative approaches to power equipment design. Effectively communicate to both internal and external customers by preparing detailed written reports or presentations describing analyses performed, solutions developed, and customer value propositions. Support domestic and international projects across regions depending on overall market needs and communicate customer needs and values back to GE. Actively participate on and support project teams ensuring high quality deliverables, budget, and on-time project metrics are met. Actively participate in a working environment where teamwork, quality, customer service and innovation are prized. Qualifications & Requirements: Bachelor’s in electrical or electric power engineering with 10 years employment experience in related position will be considered (Masters/ P. hd candidates with 8 years experience). Minimum of 10 years' professional experience in an engineering and power system modeling field. Minimum of 10 years’ Experience in developing models using MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD, PSSE, PSLF, PowerFactory, Python, C. C# Desired Characteristics: Demonstrated modeling and technical experience in technical performance analysis of electric power systems with power electronic sources or loads.Experience in planning and execution of technical projects relevant to electric power systems and equipment design. Experience with developing model in electromechanical domain like PSS/E, PSLF, PowerFactory etc (for Inverter Based Resource or other Power Electronics based models) Excellent interpersonal communication skills (e.g. ability to effectively communicate with all levels of GE and customer/plant staff). Expertise in managing clients Understanding of grid systems interactions with power plant equipment and controls. Experience with time-domain simulation tools (ATP/EMTP desired, PSCAD/EMTDC required, and MATLAB desired). Experience with programming environments to understand controller code and complex simulation modeling (Python and Fortran desired) Demonstrated application of complex mathematics and engineering to real-world (not merely academic) electric power problems. Experience with time-domain simulation tools, specifically programming, tuning, and using user-written “black box” models in PSCAD for wind turbine generators, solar inverters, battery energy storage systems (BESS), or other advanced power electronic based systems. PhD Degree in Electrical Engineering or related science Industry reputation, prior IEEE/CIGRE published articles related to practical (not overly-academic) topics, participation in industry standards working groups. Awarded patents on HV power equipment applications a plus. Experience with modeling and simulating inverter-based technologies in PSSE and PSLF using both generic and user written models. As GE Vernova is a global organization, working across different time zones, and monitoring, reading and responding to contact outside normal working hours can be expected.
