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.


The Global Process Engineering Authority (GPEA) will work closely with the Global Process Engineering Leader (GPEL), the primary focus area will be developing and deploying global standards in automation and robotics throughout GE Vernova’s Gas Power business. This GPEA 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.

This role requires a combination of expertise in mechanical engineering, electrical systems, and computer science. This person will also be responsible for standardization of automation equipment and processes, establishing standards, and ensuring adherence to these standards. They will also be a focal point for new technology introductions, asset transfers, new process introductions, and strategic P&E investments; inclusive of lead time, technology selection and recommendations for fixturing, process, control plans, and qualifications of manufacturing assets. The GPEA will coach and influence a dotted-line organization, comprised of factory technical leads across the supply chain.

Critical to the role is leveraging analytical skills, the lean methodology and the guiding principle of creating process standards for equipment (“One Product One Process”) to drive SQDC in line with business and functional objectives. The candidate chosen for this position will acquire strong technical knowledge and extensive exposure to manufacturing, engineering, quality, and safe process development. The selected candidate plays a key role in the value stream, and in building a culture of inclusion and respect for people as well as continuous improvement.
