Job Description Summary

If you want to be part of the energy transformation, build a meaningful career, and work on complex solutions—such as carbon capture, decarbonization, fast power, and grid stabilization that will change how power is delivered to the world, join the GE Gas Power Controls team. As a global technical lead for our world-class engineering team, you will be empowered within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) environment to drive continuous improvement using Lean principles. In this role, you will guide the development, fulfillment, and validation of Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) and plant control hardware and software, collaborating with GE engineering teams and external partners to design and implement innovative solutions for combined cycle power plants that have a lasting impact on the energy sector.

In this System Architect role, you will exercise moderate autonomy and judgment within a complex environment to provide technical oversight for Plant Controls development and New Product Introductions (NPIs). As a critical leader, you will drive a culture of technical depth, contemporary leadership, and a customer-focused mindset while ensuring on-time, high-quality execution. You will collaborate closely with internal and external stakeholders; developing the persuasion skills necessary to communicate sensitive or complex information and build consensus while guiding and mentoring software development teams. By applying Lean principles to solve problems and drive productivity, you will lead design reviews and oversee the development of software work processes and technical standards to ensure all customer requirements are met.
