Lead Engineer- Mechanical Engineering

Roles and Responsibilities

• As a Lead Engineer- Mechanical Engineering for GE Vernova Wind you will: undefined Design engineering solutions for mechanical structural parts (Bedplate castings, Low speed Rotor lock and Shipping fixtures etc) of a wind turbine. Work closely with other engineering teams within GE GE Vernova Wind to coordinate interfaces between mechanical systems and components. Develop engineering drawings and specification requirements for sourcing of wind turbine components. Perform technical risk assessment and execute validation test plans to mitigate risks. Assist in issue resolution of mechanical components for fielded turbines. Participate and support technical problem solving in the team. Collaborate with cross functional teams for managing the product life cycle, contributing to component team strategy, Multigeneration Product Plan (MGPP) and Multigeneration Technology Plan (MGTP). Collaboration with System, Sub-System, and component Engineers to integrate components into overall turbine design while satisfying turbine and interface requirements. Maintain “Systems Thinking” mindset and higher-level turbine system requirements to understand the needs and implications of potential component changes and impacts to the rest of the machine. Contribute to design tool maintenance to ensure “fit for use” including design practice, design tools and lessons learned documentation updates. Collaborate and Own risk identification and mitigation process including dFMEA and design verification. Ensure quality of new and revised drawings, BoMs and specifications applying all GE and industry processes, standards and best practices
