The Application Engineer - Production Cost Analysis position at GE Vernova involves working within the Consulting Services division, which provides advisory services to both internal GE portfolio businesses and external clients across various power generation, delivery, and utilization projects. The Power Economics practice, a key component of this division, focuses on addressing challenges within the electric power industry, conducting analyses on market economics, and aiding in policy analysis and investment decisions. The role requires the engineer to engage in detailed engineering and economic analyses that emphasize the financial and operational aspects of electric power systems. This includes tasks related to generation and grid planning, system optimization, asset valuation, and evaluating energy policies and their implications. In this role, the Application Engineer will collaborate closely with practice team leaders to develop, lead, and execute project work that pertains to power system economics. The ideal candidate should possess a foundational understanding of the broader power system and the principles that influence competitive power markets. A willingness to learn and utilize GE Vernova's proprietary GE MAPS software or similar production cost modeling tools is essential. Familiarity with general power systems concepts is also expected. Candidates with programming skills in Python or similar languages will have an advantage. The position primarily involves performing economic analyses on power systems and related projects, supporting the practice team leaders. The engineer will utilize GE Vernova's MAPS software products to conduct necessary project analyses and contribute to the development of new project work by responding to Requests for Proposals and building on existing customer relationships. Presenting results through reports and PowerPoint presentations to various stakeholders, both internal and external, is a critical aspect of the role. The engineer will also be expected to develop a deep understanding of a technical discipline, leveraging prior experience and technical expertise to execute policies and strategies effectively. While the role is mostly individual contributor-focused, it requires strong interpersonal skills and the ability to propose solutions within established parameters, with guidance from team leaders. Informal guidance to new team members may also be part of the responsibilities.
