Lead Electrical Systems Engineer

GE Vernova’s Power Conversion & Storage (PCS) business provides electrification systems that are critical to customers’ power requirements for their high-performance, efficient and demanding applications. We work with the world’s major, industry, maritime and defence organisations, helping to enable a transition to energy efficiency, whilst delivering key capability, availability and decarbonisation through our advanced electrical power systems and marine power & propulsion solutions.

The Marine Power Test Facility (MPTF) is a dedicated, full power, land-based test facility and plays a crucial role in de-risking present and future power and propulsion technologies, systems and from product development and verification through to complete, full-scale integrated power and propulsion including new ‘clean ship’ technologies. The MPTF is the only commercial land-based facility in the world that is capable of full-scale testing of complete integrated naval power and propulsion systems from ship fit prime movers through to propulsion at up to 20MWscale
