Job Description Summary

Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of sys-tems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of al-ternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and imple-mentation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and ex-ecuted. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.

Impacts quality of own work and the work of others on the team. Executes standard opera-tional/technical tasks typically subject to instructions and work routines. There is latitude to rearrange the sequence to complete task/duties based on changing work situations.

Job Description

Essential Responsibilities

• Insulation Coordination Studies (EMT studies): Determination (by simulation) of temporary and transient overvoltage stresses on equipment and surge arrester energy ratings.

• Network studies: Confirmation of the correct interaction between the equipment, its control system and the rest of the network.

• Provide guidance and coordinate the engineering tasks to meet the project/tender requirement.

• Technical responsibility in areas of expertise

• Development and Industrialization: Develop and industrialize solutions tools and processes associated with the engineering activities identified above.

• Be actively involved in new developments in HVDC technologies, implementing control and protection solutions and creating / delivering new analysis techniques and system study tools in order to provide optimized system study solutions.

• Process Improvement: Review and record design processes and develop new or improved processes.

• Enforce engineering discipline and set processes across all work tasks and adherence to company policies, quality procedures and work instructions (e.g. through trainings, technical reviews).

• Represent the business in external events by publishing technical papers

• Apply yourself towards improving your technical knowledge base and keep abreast of relevant methodologies and technological advancement within the Company.

• Support and mentor other engineers to increase the team’s technical knowledge and competence

• Values: Comply with the GE Values Charter

• Report or resolve any non-conformances in a timely manner.

• Identify and evaluate EHS risks in the team area and implement practical measures.

• Set the example by demonstrating the proper acts and actively observe work conditions and behaviors, giving constructive feedback and celebrating EHS effective prevention.

• Actively participate in defining corrective actions when work is unsafe or when an uncontrolled risk is observed.

• Routinely observe routines and behaviors of others and provide immediate feedback regarding unsafe behavior and celebrates achievements or safe behaviors.

• Actively and routinely promote the identification of hazards and near misses to their team/s.
