Embedded Software Consulting Engineer leading strategy, architecture, and design of real-time embedded systems for GE Vernova’s T&D solutions. Focusing on modernization and security initiatives for protection relays and more.
Responsibilities
Serve as a technical authority for embedded platform modernization, product innovation, and next-generation system architectures.
Lead the design strategy of real-time embedded platforms for protection and communication systems using multi-core SoCs, RTOS (VxWorks, QNX, FreeRTOS), or embedded Linux.
Guide strategic choices in virtualized firmware stacks, embedded containers, and real-time microservices for digital substations and edge computing.
Drive architectural modernization through the adoption of embedded virtualization using lean hypervisors, enabling reliability and modularity through microservice-oriented architecture for critical and secure field-deployable service updates.
Guide the design of CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps workflows, and automated test frameworks tailored to embedded environments.
Promote modular design, RTOS abstraction, software reuse, and real-time determinism across services.
Lead edge software strategies for AI/ML-based diagnostics, adaptive protection, and predictive maintenance, enabling microservices to run securely in real-time containers.
Stay at the forefront of innovations in lean, reliable, and secure mission-critical/safety-critical embedded systems by participating in technical conferences and engaging with industry consortia and standards bodies (IEC, IEEE, UCAIug).
Represent the organization in global forums, panels, or working groups and share best practices, lessons learned, and architecture evolution insights.
Contribute to multi-year product and technology roadmaps for protection and automation portfolios.
Evaluate and pilot emerging technologies to mentor and guide global teams on next-generation architectures.
