ph.d.

multithreading

Networking stacks – TCP/IP, MQTT, CoAP, BLE, Wi-Fi, Ethernet.
Legal authorization to work in the US is required. We will not sponsor individuals at the Master's or Bachelor's level for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.
RTOS (Real-Time Operating Systems) – experience with FreeRTOS, ThreadX, VxWorks, QNX, or Zephyr.
Schematics & datasheet interpretation.
Multithreading, multitasking, and synchronization primitives (mutexes, semaphores, queues).
Must be willing to work out of an office located in Niskayuna, NY
Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related disciplines OR Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related disciplines with a minimum of 2 years of industry experience OR Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related disciplines with a minimum of 5 years of industry experience.
Assembly language (ARM, RISC-V, x86, or other relevant architectures).
Version control – Git, Gerrit.
Cross-compilation & toolchains (GCC, Clang, ARM toolchain).
Because of the specific categories of data handled by GE Vernova Advanced Research and the structure of our work environment, we are unable to accommodate employment of persons while they are considered nationals of countries subject to comprehensive restrictions under the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR), 15 CFR Section 746 et seq. (currently North Korea, Syria, Iran and Cuba). Please note that citizens of these countries who have either “U.S. person” status under U.S. export control laws or subsequent citizenship or permanent residency from a non-restricted country can be considered.
Digital electronics fundamentals – buses (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, PCIe).
Bootloaders & firmware update mechanisms (e.g., U-Boot, secure OTA).
Debugging tools – GDB, Valgrind, strace, perf.
Embedded C / C++ programming – strong low-level coding ability with efficient, memory-safe, and real-time oriented design.
File systems – FAT, ext4, NAND/NOR flash management.
Microcontrollers & SoCs – ARM Cortex-M/A, PIC, MSP430, ESP32, etc.
Analog interfacing – ADC/DAC, sensors, signal conditioning basics.
Memory management – stack/heap allocation, MMU, MPU.
Bare-metal programming – direct hardware control without an OS (timers, interrupts, peripherals).
Unit testing & CI/CD – Google Test, Ceedling, Jenkins, GitHub Actions.

Company

Overview

April 2024

Founded

The company emerged from the spin-off of GE's energy units in April 2024.

>$10B Quarterly Revenue

Revenue Growth

Achieves over $10 billion in quarterly revenue, driven by demand for power infrastructure and digital solutions.

$3B

Wind Turbine Backlog

Maintains a significant backlog in wind turbine orders, reflecting strong market demand.

25%

Global Electricity Supply

Contributes to generating 25% of the world’s electricity through its installed turbines and grids.

Traces roots back to Edison and Alstom, merging power, renewable, digital & financial wings.
Headquartered in Cambridge, MA, crafts large-scale gas turbines, SMRs, wind turbines, hydro and grid tech to fuel economies.
On the nuclear front, advancing small modular reactors (like BWRX‑300) in partnership with utilities and supporting semiconductor projects.
Wind prowess spans onshore, offshore and blade making—with key sites like Dogger Bank offshore and blade plants in Spain.
Electrification arm tackles grid stability: HVDC, transformers, storage, conversion, plus GridOS software powering smarter infrastructure.
Weaves finance and consulting through energy-infrastructure investments, funding solar farms to pipelines via GE Energy Financial Services.

Culture + Values

Relentlessly focused on advancing the world’s transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy.
Believes in working with customers, partners, and communities to create innovative energy solutions that make a meaningful difference.
Prioritizes excellence, integrity, and accountability in everything they do.
Committed to driving real change through technology and partnerships that will transform the global energy landscape.
