En tant qu’Ingénieur référent technique sur les disjoncteurs courant continu, vous serez rattaché(e) au Responsable de l’équipe "Electrical Valve Engineering", de la Solution Line HVDC (l'équipe en charge des projets de développement et des projets clients pour les valves de conversion HVDC*).
Sur ce poste, votre mission consistera à coordonner et préparer les options et décisions techniques dans le cadre du développement du produit. Votre rôle sera de garantir que les choix techniques, depuis la phase de conception préliminaire jusqu’aux phases de conception détaillée, sont pertinents afin d’assurer les performances spécifiées du disjoncteur, ainsi que sa fiabilité et sa qualité. Votre rôle consistera également à établir les capacités techniques propres à la technologie et aux applications DCCB**.
Intégré(e) à la fonction "Valve Converter Engineering & Technology", vous pourrez également être impliqué(e) dans la conception et l’amélioration de produits de valves de conversion existants.
Le/la candidat(e) retenu(e) fera partie d’une équipe d’ingénieurs hautement motivée et dynamique, travaillant sur la livraison et l’ingénierie d’application de solutions existantes et nouvelles en électronique de puissance pour les réseaux électriques, en particulier pour les convertisseurs HVDC ainsi que les futurs réseaux « HVDC Grid » et « MTDC Grid ».
Il s’agit d’un domaine de l’ingénierie électrique particulièrement stimulant et dynamique, dans lequel GE Vernova joue un rôle de premier plan et bénéficie d’une reconnaissance mondiale. Les valves de conversion HVDC sont des structures de grande taille, complexes, avec des dimensions de plusieurs mètres dans chaque direction et un poids de plusieurs dizaines de tonnes. La conception et le développement de tels convertisseurs représentent un défi technique important et font appel à de nombreuses disciplines d’ingénierie, à une forte collaboration en équipe et à une approche innovante. De plus, la fonction Valve Engineering développe actuellement le prochain produit de son portefeuille MTDC, à savoir un disjoncteur à courant continu.
Ce poste offre donc une excellente opportunité à un/e candidat(e) motivé(e) d’innover, de développer ses compétences en conception et de favoriser son évolution personnelle au sein d’un expert internationalement reconnu dans ce domaine passionnant. Le poste offrira également des opportunités de déplacements internationaux pour collaborer avec d’autres entités de GE Vernova, des laboratoires d’essais et des sites clients.

As Technical Lead DC Circuit--Breaker Engineer, you will report to the Valve Engineering Electrical Team Lead within the HVDC Solution Line (Team who deliver development project and customer projects for the HVDC Converter Valve).
As Lead engineer DC Circuit-Breaker, your mission will be to coordinate and prepare the technical options and decisions in the development of the product. Your role is to ensure that the technical choices, from concept design to detailed design stages, are relevant to ensure the specified performance of the DCCB product and ensure DCCB product reliability and quality. Your role is also to establish the technical capabilities that are specific to the DCCB technology and application.
Being integrated in the Valve Converter Engineering & Technology Function, you could also be involved in the design and improvement of existing converter valve products.
The successful candidate will be part of a highly motivated, dynamic team of engineers working on the delivery, application engineering of existing and new power electronics applications for power systems, particularly for HVDC converters and the forthcoming “HVDC Grid” and “MTDC Grid”.
This is a very exciting and dynamic field of power engineering in which GE Vernova has a leading contribution and worldwide recognition. HVDC Converter Valves are large and complex structures, with typical dimensions of several metres in each direction and weighing many tens of tonnes. The design and the development of such converters is technically challenging and involves a variety of engineering disciplines, contribution through teamwork and an innovative approach. In addition to that, the Valve Engineering function is developing the next product for their MTDC portfolio, with a DC Circuit Breaker.
The role gives an excellent opportunity for a motivated candidate to innovate, expand their design skill and personal development within an internationally recognised expert in this exciting field. There will be international travel opportunities to collaborate with other GE Vernova units, test laboratories and customer sites.

Responsibilities:
Candidate profile
The candidate will probably be educated to degree level in electrical or electronic engineering. However, this is not as important as a proven track record and evidence that you have the experience and abilities to perform the role.
Candidates should have proven experience of the design and/or development of power electronic converters (preferably at high power >1MVA). A good understanding of power semiconductors, their control, protection and application would be advantageous. It is key that the candidate has the ability to work quickly and efficiently within an engineering team.
An enquiring mind and desire to learn new skills, an ability to apply different engineering disciplines and a willingness to share the knowledge are essential qualities. Ideally, the candidate will have a good track record of leading a team of engineers in delivering a technical project on time and according to the scope.
