About the role
This position will primarily support the high speed rotor lock, rotor brake, and flex coupling through the entire life cycle from conceptual design through detailed design and development, testing, qualification, manufacturing, validation, and installed fleet support. The engineer will drive technical excellence and continuous improvement in the design, analysis, cost, and reliability of the components under their responsibility. As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer at GE Vernova, you will own the full design lifecycle for Machine Head Driveline subsystem components across the wind turbine fleet: from specification and analysis through validation testing, root cause investigation, and standardization across the global product portfolio. This is a role for someone who combines deep mechanical design expertise with the judgement to make consequential decisions independently — and the collaborative instinct to bring manufacturing, sourcing, quality, and field teams along with them.
What you'll bring
- You are a senior mechanical engineer with extensive experience in component design, analysis, and validation for rotating or power generation equipment — comfortable operating with a high degree of independence while driving outcomes across global, cross-functional teams.
- You are also experienced working with suppliers and manufacturing processes to ensure your design is consistently produced with high quality.
- A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar discipline.
- Major experience in mechanical analysis and design in an industrial or product engineering environment.
- Working knowledge of technical drawings, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), and manufacturing processes.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) tools — specifically Unigraphics / Siemens NX.
- Proven ability to lead global projects with team members across different geographies and cultural contexts.
- Clear communication, project management, and interpersonal skills — with the ability to present complex technical findings to diverse audiences.
- Fluent written and spoken English.
- Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- Experience in design and/or application of mechanical components in the powertrain of rotating equipment.
- Working knowledge of ANSYS or other FEA (Finite Element Analysis) tools.
