Engineer - Mechanical Engineering

Job Description Summary

This is a hands-on engineering role where your solutions directly shape turbines operating around the world and where solving a tough technical problem today means a more reliable, more efficient energy source tomorrow.

Job Description

What You'll Do

• Design and develop mechanical structural components for wind turbines, including composites, metallic structures, cranes, seals, and louvers
• Partner with System, Sub-System, and Component Engineers to integrate your designs into the overall turbine architecture, meeting turbine and interface requirements
• Own the detailed engineering specifications and drawings used to source turbine components, ensuring they meet GE Vernova and industry quality standards
• Conduct technical risk assessments and build risk mitigation plans, including Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), design verification, and validation test plans
• Support the resolution of safety and functional issues on turbines already in the field
• Apply a systems-thinking approach - understanding how a change to your component ripples across the broader turbine design
• Bring standard design practices, tools, and lessons learned into your work to continuously sharpen how the team designs

About You

You're an early-career mechanical engineer who's curious about how things work at a system level, comfortable learning from experienced colleagues, and energized by solving real, physical engineering problems that matter.

Required:

• Formal education and a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field is a plus, but we're most interested in your total experience and professional achievements
• Some experience in product design and development within the wind industry or a comparable industry
• Working knowledge of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools, ideally Unigraphics NX 3D-CAD
• Working knowledge of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools, ideally Ansys, and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to coordinate across engineering teams
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 20% of the time

Preferred:

• Familiarity with wind turbine structural components
• Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI), New Technology Introduction (NTI) development, or structured problem-solving and Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
• Experience collaborating in project teams across an international environment

What You'll Gain

GE Vernova employees rise to the challenge of building a world that works. To support that mission, we offer a robust and competitive benefits package designed to help you manage both your career and personal life - including continued on-the-job learning and development opportunities to help you grow into the engineer you want to become.
