Job Description Summary
Lead Engineer - Simulation Dev Ops works within the Plant Integration Engineering team by enabling LEAN integrated plant design (IPD) using modern digital engineering tools and techniques. Simulation Assisted Engineering (SAE) is a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, systems engineering approach to complex IPD, analysis, and optimization. SAE is based on the use of a modern, physics and mathematics, digital engineering modeling and simulation software toolkit.
Focus is on technical risk, engineering labor, and schedule duration reduction during first of a kind (FOAK) plant design.
- Collaborate in cross-functional environment of Systems, Instrumentation & Controls, and Human Factors Engineering to ensure successful deployment, implementation, and lifecycle stewardship of the multi-organization and multi-geographic SAE environment.
- Assist in maintaining a singular master plant simulation model in SAE environment while ensuring requirements and configuration management are updated and baselined as necessary.
- Set up and administer the simulation configuration management system and procedures for the SAE project.
- Maintain Discrepancy Report tracking database via Gitlab Issues and Issue Boards.
- Own and administer all Gitlab user and project groups for both SAE and non-SAE departments.
- Provide Git Lab User Technical Support to SAE and Non-SAE Users (Resolving Push/Merge Conflicts, Assisting with Error Message Resolution, etc.).
- Place acquired product releases under SAE Configuration Management control and deploy these within the SAE environment, ultimately deploying to downstream customers.
- Develop and edit system models in an integrated simulation environment.
- Develop and run scenarios for single systems, collections of interrelated systems, or entire power plant for: startup, shutdown, and maneuvering throughout all modes of plant operations.
- Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science) or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or equivalent 4‑year technical degree.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in an engineering, design process, or similar capacity.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience with configuration management systems (e.g., Gitlab) required.
- The preferred work location for this role is at the GVH Headquarters in Wilmington, NC; but highly qualified U.S. based remote candidates will be considered.
- This role is restricted to U.S. persons (i.e., U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and other protected individuals under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) due to access to U.S. export‑controlled technology. GVH will require proof of U.S. person status prior to employment.
- Master of Science in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science).
- Experience with Git Lab CI/CD, including development of Pipelines and Automated Testing.
- Experience with Git Lab in the Multi‑Repository configuration, maintaining multiple customer configurations, including development of SAE project KPIs for each repository.
- Experience installing and configuring VM instances across environment using platforms like VMware, Hyper‑V, or KVM.
- Experience provisioning resources for new virtual servers, managing templates, cloning, and automation of VM deployments.
- Experience using modern digital engineering collaboration and design tools such as:
Design and analysis simulation (e.g., Easy5/MSC, Simulink MATLAB/Math Works, Mathcad/PTC AND/OR 3
Key Master / WSC, JADE / GSE, Orchid / L‑3
MAPPS‑Harris). - Experience developing high‑fidelity engineering simulator or FSS integrated with a DCS platform either via virtual controller or emulation.
