Software Consulting Engineer leading advanced software architecture and design for T&D systems at GE Vernova. Driving digital transformation in energy sector with innovative engineering workflows.
Responsibilities
Define the architecture and evolution of scalable, modular, and secure software platforms for T&D configuration systems, including tools for device configuration, substation engineering, and grid automation workflows.
Define technical strategy and oversee the design cloud-native platforms using modern frameworks (.NET, Java, Python, TypeScript) that support desktop, edge, and cloud deployments, with emphasis on performance, resilience, and maintainability.
Drive the integration IEC 61850 engineering workflows (SCL-based ICD, SCD, SSD) into intuitive, automated tooling ecosystems aligned with modern UI/UX, API design, and utility integration requirements.
Ensure cross-functional alignment, acting as the authority between firmware, UI/UX, and power systems teams, enabling coherent system design and tight integration between engineering workflows and device behavior.
Collaborate with cybersecurity, systems, and hardware architects to deliver secure, compliant solutions for critical infrastructure, incorporating secure development lifecycle (SDLC) and DevSecOps practices.
Drive reuse of software components across product lines, fostering platform consistency, reducing duplication, and accelerating development.
Oversee development and lifecycle management of configuration and commissioning tools for protection and control devices, ensuring seamless integration with SCADA/DMS/EMS and other utility systems.
Conduct software and architecture reviews, ensure compliance with industry standards (IEC 61850, IEC 61968/70, CIM, IEC 62351), and manage the end-to-end software development lifecycle from requirements to deployment and support.
Partner with architects, systems engineers, and utility customers to define and deliver customer-centric, technically robust solutions that improve reliability, visibility, and flexibility of grid systems.
Monitor emerging technologies (cloud-native services, model-driven engineering, AI/ML) for relevance to the T&D domain and contribute to technology roadmaps, product strategy, and IP generation through patents, whitepapers, and technical forums.
Mentor and guide software engineers, promote a culture of technical excellence and innovation, and represent the organization in customer engagements, RFPs, and industry events.
