Job Description

Senior System Design Engineer (m/w/d)

This role is designed to interpret the customer’s technical enquiry and to design the most cost-effective overall solution for an HVDC installation utilizing the PES power electronics solutions, aiming to minimising the total cost, and to specify the main (high-value) items of bought-out equipment for HVDC Projects. The successful candidate will also be involved in the development and industrialisation of tools and processes and will have technical knowledge and experience in the field of power system engineering (academic and professional).

The successful candidate will be part of an established team of experienced power systems engineers which will provide them with various opportunities to develop their skills in the field of high voltage AC and DC power system design via mentoring by Systems Experts, on-the-job training, classroom training (such as the HVDC university training modules), placement in other engineering departments etc.

As part of the role, the candidate will be required to represent GE in front of external stakeholders such as clients, third-party suppliers, professional bodies (IEC, Cigré, etc). You will also interact with GE stakeholders within the HVDC business and the wider GE renewables organisation. The candidate will also have the opportunity to develop innovative ideas and publish their work internationally in scientific papers and patents.

Responsibilities

• Main Circuit Design
• Develop an integrated scheme design that meets the Customer’s needs, by developing requirements on the ratings and functionalities of the different HVDC system’s subsystems, in an optimised and cost-effective manner.
• Insulation Coordination Studies
• Determine the temporary and transient overvoltage stresses on HV equipment and provide the protective level requirements for the surge arresters.
• Manage the lifecycle of high economic value High Voltage equipment such as power transformers, instrument transformers, reactors, capacitors, and surge arresters, covering the development of its requirements, specification, supplier management and the validation and verification (testing) of design, manufacturing and commissioning.
• Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Studies and Management
• Create, verify, and validate the reliability, availability and maintainability models for HVDC systems and subsystems, providing insight to customers and leaders and managing the risks, issues and opportunities that affect the systems throughout their lifecycle.
• Create, verify, and validate the electrical power losses models for HVDC systems and subsystems, providing insight to customers and leaders and managing the risks, issues and opportunities that affect the systems throughout their lifecycle.
• Report or resolve any non-conformances in a timely manner.
• Identify and evaluate EHS risks in own area and implement practical measures.
• Set the example by demonstrating the proper acts and actively observe work conditions and behaviours, 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 behaviours of others and provide immediate feedback regarding unsafe behaviour and celebrate achievements or safe behaviours.
• Actively and routinely promote the identification of hazards and near misses to their team/s.

Desired Skills and Experience

• Master in Power Systems Engineering or equivalent knowledge, with proven professional experience in Power Systems Engineering and HVDC System Design.
• Proficiency in Power System Design, Circuit analysis, Power control, Reactive power design, and high voltage equipment specification, design, and testing.
• Knowledge of network studies, harmonic analysis, EMC, and HVDC control systems.
• Experience with tools such as PSCAD, PSS/E, DigSilent, Python, MATLAB, and others.
• Strong communication skills in English and German.
• Proactive, curious, resilient, and able to work under deadlines.
