Looking to make a global impact and solve problems? Through relentless innovation and continuous collaboration with our customers, GE Gas Power, part of GE Vernova, is providing more advanced, cleaner, and efficient power that people depend on today and building the energy technologies of the future.
YOUR IMPACT:
The Electrical & Instrumentation Product Definition Engineering (PDE) team is responsible for the assembly and system integration of the latest Gas Turbine Accessory Electrical and Instrumentation CAD models into Gas Turbine projects. The primary goal of these projects is to improve the power output, running efficiency, and reliability of the existing Gas Turbine fleet. Gas Turbine Accessory Systems include Piping, Instrumentation, Structural, and Mechanical subsystems working in a One Team environment with expected Accountability to deliver Quality for our Customers.
As a PDE team, we create and own electrical wiring and instrumentation housing models and assemblies for new and existing Gas Turbines and integrate them into the proposed CAD environment. We validate new hardware designs within the existing turbine and collaborate with other Engineering functions for final design updates and the timely execution of all hardware requiring CAD definition. The E&I PDE Team then provides final installation CAD and Bill of Materials (BOM) packages for customers installation packages.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
You will join the world-class Product Definition team to develop new technical solutions, processes, and automation software for the Digital Thread. Collaborating closely with design engineering and manufacturing, the role focuses on solving challenging enterprise problems and effectively communicating solutions.
