Global Process Engineering Authority – Robotics Automation and Sensing

Job Description Summary

Our mission is clear. Addressing the urgent need to build a more sustainable electric power system while improving the trajectory of climate change emissions are global priorities, and we take our responsibility seriously. That is our mission at GE Vernova: continuing to electrify to thrive and decarbonize the world.

If we want our energy future to be different — we must be different.

Our mission is embedded in our name. We retain our treasured legacy, “GE,” in our name as an enduring and hard‑earned badge of quality and ingenuity. “Ver” / “verde” signal Earth’s verdant and lush ecosystems. “Nova,” from the Latin “novus,” nods to a new, innovative era of lower carbon energy that GE Vernova will help deliver.

Together, we have The Energy to Change the World.

In the Global Process Engineering Authority (GPEA), you will work closely with the Global Process Engineering Leader (GPEL) to develop and deploy global standards in automation and robotics throughout GE Vernova’s Gas Power business. You will design, develop, and implement factory automation and robotic systems to enhance safety, improve production quality, streamline manufacturing processes, and increase productivity. You will be involved in the entire lifecycle of an automation system, from concept and design to programming, testing, and deployment.

• Design, develop, prototype and test innovative automated solutions and robotic systems and components.
• Integrate hardware, software, and sensors (such as LiDAR, cameras, and IMUs) into automation platforms.
• Program robots for specific tasks, including motion control, path planning, and autonomous navigation.
• Integrate all forms of industrial automation devices into PLC logic (e.g. motion, vision, touch, pneumatic, mechanical, electrical).
• Troubleshoot and debug complex automation and robotic systems, resolving issues related to hardware and software.
• Conduct simulations and tests to validate the performance and reliability of automation systems under real‑world manufacturing production conditions.
• Support design reviews with internal stakeholders and integration partners to determine equipment requirements and ensure project execution.
• Document technical specifications, test plans, and maintenance procedures.
• Ensure compliance with industry safety and regulatory standards throughout the development and deployment process.
• Stay up‑to‑date with advancements in robotics, AI, and automation technologies.
• Work projects to a specific schedule and budget, providing timely communication to key stakeholders.
• Provide technical support, leadership and coaching to a Global team of regional experts to operationalize new equipment standards, processes and systems.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (e.g., EHS, Manufacturing Engineers, Design Engineering, Process Engineers, Quality, Materials, Industrialization, Operations and Sourcing) to define project requirements and ensure seamless integration.
• Interpret internal and external business challenges and recommend best practices to improve products, processes or services. Stay informed of industry trends that may inform work.
• Use a high level of judgment to make decisions and handle complex tasks or problems in areas of operational, product management, manufacturing, technology or engineering. Assess quality of information given and ask pertinent questions to stakeholders. Present new solutions to problems outside of set parameters and construct and provide recommendations.
• Lead functional teams or projects with minimal resource requirements, risk, and/or complexity. Communicate difficult concepts and may influence others’ options on particular topics. Guide others to consider a different point of view.

• For USA Candidates: GE will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in the United States for this opening. Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a background investigation and drug screen (no sponsorship for this role).

• Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited university or college in Electrical Engineering,…
