Energy tech co. that designs, builds, services gas, nuclear, hydro, steam & wind power systems globally.
The Lead Hardware Design and Validation Engineer will head electronic hardware design, regulatory testing, and validation of board‑based solutions for real‑time control in the power generation sector. The role involves collaborating with a cross‑functional, highly skilled team to create and enhance a state‑of‑the‑art platform used across wind, solar, battery storage, gas, steam, and hydro‑electric applications.
Key responsibilities include leading new product introduction, prototyping, testing, supplier interactions, and manufacturing hand‑off. The engineer will work closely with contract manufacturers to establish processes, qualify SKUs, and ensure design for manufacturability and reliability. Design tasks cover mixed‑signal circuits, component selection, schematic entry, PCB layout coordination, and meeting safety and EMI/EMC requirements.
The position requires preparing detailed design documentation, testing hardware prototypes with lab equipment, analyzing results, and generating test reports. Additional duties involve troubleshooting production defects, performing signal‑integrity analysis, validating functional, thermal, and pre‑compliance aspects, and supporting cost‑out initiatives and organizational projects.
Candidates should hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics or a related field and possess 7‑10 years of mixed‑signal circuit design experience, including system‑level analysis and product development life‑cycle expertise. Required skills include design for manufacturability, EMI/EMC testing, strong analytical and organizational abilities, leadership, and effective communication.
Desired qualifications include experience with digital, high‑speed, analog and mixed‑signal design, high‑end PCBA assembly, Cadence ECAD tools, signal‑integrity simulations, compliance knowledge, and Agile methodology. Relocation assistance is provided, and the role supports GE Vernova’s mission to address the climate crisis by electrifying the world and decarbonizing energy.
