About the position

The Research Engineer - Electrical Systems position at GE Vernova Advanced Research focuses on the research and development of gas and physical sensor systems. The role involves designing and testing sensor subsystems, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, and contributing to innovative sensing technologies aimed at supporting the energy transition towards a zero-carbon future.

Responsibilities

• Design innovative approaches in transducers, signal interrogators, and data analytics for gas and physical sensors.
• Work with a multidisciplinary team of Scientists, Engineers, and Technicians to create state-of-the-art sensor systems for low Size Weight and Power (SWaP) solutions.
• Communicate status updates with key stakeholders within and outside GE Vernova Advanced Research.
• Collaborate with industrial, academic, and governmental partners on system-level sensing solutions.
• Work directly with customers to understand their needs and identify future opportunities.
• Build sensor system solutions specific to the needs of diverse customers.
• Contribute to all aspects of industrial sensor systems research, including fundamental innovations, requirements definition, project planning, specifications, system design, and experimental validation.
• Identify, conduct, and interpret critical experiments to validate sensor systems concepts and present research findings to senior management.
• Develop, write, and present research plans and proposals to internal and external stakeholders.
• Present research results at conferences and publish in leading journals.
• Build and maintain a technical network including universities and government agencies.

Requirements

• PhD degree in a relevant Engineering discipline or related field, or MS degree with a minimum of three years of related experience in sensor systems.
• Demonstrated experience designing and testing gas and/or physical sensor structures and devices.
• Demonstrated ability to design key sensing components such as transducers and combine them with needed sensing materials and signal interrogators.
• Demonstrated experience in data analytics - univariate and multivariate - for sensor applications.
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required.

Nice-to-haves
