Our Electrification solutions modernize grids, enable renewable integration, and strengthen energy systems. From software to power conversion and storage, we help create smarter, more resilient energy networks.

Let’s Talk about the Role

As Transformer Designer HVDC Simulations Expert, you lead the electrical design of large power transformers for HVAC and, where applicable, HVDC applications, helping deliver reliable, high-performance solutions for customers.

You work across the full design process, from customer specification review and detailed transformer design through to preparing design information, supporting factory and supplier discussions, and attending design reviews with customers and internal teams. You also contribute to simulation and analysis work, help solve manufacturing and product challenges, and support product improvement and cost-out initiatives that strengthen quality, cost, and time to market.

How You Will Make a Difference

• Designingelectrical transformer solutions for HVAC and preferably HVDC applications up to 800kV
• Performingshort circuit, lightning impulse, thermal, and related design calculations to support robust transformer performance
• Contributingto detailed transformer design activity and advising the Drawing Office team on best practice issues
• Using3D FEA, 2D FEA, thermal, or electromagnetic analysis to support design decisions and technical problem solving
• Workingwith Transformer Manufacturing to solve problems and develop best practices
• Supportingtender and contract design projects while balancing product performance, project cost, and time to market
• Communicatingwith other power transformer teams to help apply standards and best practices consistently
• RepresentingGE Vernova from a technical viewpoint in front of customers and supporting design reviews and approval meetings
• Contributingto product improvement and cost-out initiatives that strengthen competitiveness and engineering value

Skills for Success

You are a technically strong, collaborative engineer who enjoys solving complex transformer design challenges and turning analysis into practical, reliable solutions.
