Systems Performance Engineering Manager – Integrated Project Solutions

Job Description Summary

The Systems Performance Engineering Manager is a customer-facing technical leader within the Projects Coordination Office (PCO), responsible for shaping and coordinating system level performance solutions for complex, multi-segment GE Vernova enterprise projects. This role is heavily engaged up front with customers and commercial teams, influencing solution architecture, operating philosophy, and performance commitments from early project conceptualization (Pre-ITO) through proposal development (ITO) and project execution (OTR).

The role supports data center and mission-critical applications, with a strong focus on Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine, Wind Turbine, Power Conversion & Storage, and combined-cycle technologies, working closely with Consulting Services and cross-functional Business Unit engineering teams. The successful candidate acts as a trusted customer technical liaison, translating customer requirements into competitive, compliant, and executable solutions for both behind-the-meter and grid-connected applications.

• Support early-stage customer technical engagement, partnering with Sales, Commercial, and Consulting Services teams to shape system performance concepts and solution strategies during Pre-ITO.
• Coordinate the development of system level performance encompassing Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine, Wind Turbines, Power Conversion & Storage and combined-cycle performance models in collaboration with Consulting Services and Business Units.
• Support and manage technology selection and configuration trade studies to balance performance, cost, risk and schedule.
• Engage and support the various functions in the validation of plant models using GT PRO, Thermo Flow, as well as the generation of heat balances, performance curves, and guarantees.
• Evaluate operating modes relevant to data centers, including Baseload, Peaking, and load following operations.
• Support data center proposals, including N+1/N+2 redundancy, islanded and grid-connected operation.
• Support hyperscale and colocation data center proposals addressing fast start and load ramp requirements; reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) expectations; grid disturbance ride-through and operational flexibility.
• Coordinate with controls and electrical teams on operating philosophy, protection concepts, and grid requirements.
• Identify and communicate technical risks, assumptions, and margins to broader teams.
• Support customer technical clarifications and apply lessons learned to improve proposal quality.
• Drive standardization, lessons learned, and continuous improvement across PCO programs.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.
• Strong understanding of Gas Turbine and Steam Turbine performance fundamentals.
• Demonstrated experience in Pre-ITO, proposal, or early-phase project engineering.
• Hands‑on proficiency with GT PRO for simple‑cycle and combined‑cycle performance modeling.
• Ability to independently develop, troubleshoot, and explain performance models and results.
• Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills.

• Master’s degree in engineering.
• Experience supporting data center or mission‑critical power generation projects.
• Familiarity with behind‑the‑meter vs. grid‑connected architectures and performance implications.
• Experience with additional tools such as Thermoflow, PEACE, Gate Cycle, or similar.
• Understanding of electrical balance of plant, including transformers, switch gear, and protection philosophy, and how these impact performance assumptions.
• Exposure to controls strategies, fast‑start operation, and flexible dispatch.
• Experience working with GE Vernova gas and steam turbine technologies.
