GE’s Power Conversion business, part of GE Vernova, provides electrification systems that are critical to customers’ power and energy needs for their high-performance applications. We work with some of the world’s major energy, maritime and industrial organizations, helping to enable a transition to energy efficiency and decarbonization, including through our specialist motors, power electronics systems, electrical drives and control technologies that evolve today’s industrial processes for a cleaner, more productive future. We serve specialized sectors such as energy, marine, industry and all related services.
Software that controls megawatt-scale electric drives doesn't just run in the background — it determines whether a naval vessel manoeuvres safely, whether an industrial process runs efficiently, and whether an energy system performs when it matters most. As Lead Drives Control Application Software Engineer at GE Vernova's Rugby site, you will take ownership of the full development lifecycle for control application software across a portfolio of electric drive systems serving Marine, Naval, Energy, and Industrial customers worldwide.
This is a senior individual contributor role with real technical scope — from specification and design through to commissioning support on site.
You are an experienced software engineer with a strong background in industrial drive control systems and a track record of delivering robust, well-documented control application software for complex power electronic systems.
GE Vernova employees rise to the challenge of building a world that works. At our Rugby site, you will work on technically demanding drive system projects with real-world impact — supported by a team that values rigour, continuous learning, and doing the work properly.
We provide varied, competitive benefits designed to reward high performers and support your personal and family needs. Our offering includes:
