Senior Regional Customer Application Engineer (RCAE)

The Senior Regional Customer Application Engineer (RCAE) is the primary technical interface with customers across the Americas during the early opportunity development phase, before formal proposal issuance. This role sits at the front end of the Inquiry-to-Remittance (ITR) value stream and is responsible for helping define the right solution early — balancing customer needs, commercial competitiveness, product standardization, and downstream execution readiness.

The RCAE shapes opportunities before they enter firm proposal by clarifying technical scope, identifying key assumptions, evaluating standard versus non-standard configurations, and positioning GE Vernova solutions in a way that improves bid quality and execution confidence. The RCAE is expected not only to support opportunities, but to improve the quality, clarity, and executability of what enters the downstream proposal process.

Decisions made in this role have significant downstream impact on safety, quality, schedule, cost, and risk. This is a customer-facing technical-commercial role for individuals with strong experience in gas turbines, thermal power generation, and power plant architecture, combined with the ability to influence project development strategy. The role requires sound engineering judgment, strong commercial awareness, and the ability to translate complex customer needs into practical, executable solutions.

Success in this role requires a strong bias toward standard solutions and the judgment to distinguish between true customer requirements and preference-driven deviations. Given current market demand, this role is increasingly engaged in data center and other fast-cycle power development opportunities, where customers are making tradeoffs across speed-to-power, efficiency, redundancy philosophy, emissions/permitting, footprint, flexibility, expandability, and capital deployment. The RCAE must be able to credibly engage in these early architecture and value trade discussions and guide customers toward solutions aligned with GE Vernova's product strategy and execution model.

Bachelor's degree in Engineering from an accredited university or college. Significant experience in thermal power generation, gas turbine applications, power plant engineering, project development, proposal engineering, commercial operations, or customer application engineering. Demonstrated technical and/or commercial experience with one or more of the following: heavy-duty gas turbines combined cycle or simple cycle plant configuration steam turbine / generator / HRSG integration thermal plant development and evaluation data center development, architecture, behind the meter power, infrastructure & economics Experience engaging customers or commercial teams in technical discussions that influence project direction, equipment selection, or plant architecture.

Ability to evaluate technical requirements, customer objectives, and business constraints together and convert them into practical solution recommendations. Ability and willingness to travel regularly across the Americas for customer meetings, workshops, and internal collaboration, approximately 20% or as required by business needs.
