About the role
The Nacelle & Frames team at GE Vernova develops the mechanical structures that hold wind turbines together and keep them operating reliably in harsh environments. The role focuses on structural components such as composites, metallic structures, cranes, seals, and louvers, integrating designs into turbine architecture and supporting field issues. The engineer will own specifications and drawings, conduct risk assessments such as DFMEA, and work with system and component engineers on design validation and improvement.
What you will do
- Design and develop mechanical structural components for wind turbines, including composites, metallic structures, cranes, seals, and louvers
- Partner with System, Sub-System, and Component Engineers to integrate your designs into the overall turbine architecture, meeting turbine and interface requirements
- Own the detailed engineering specifications and drawings used to source turbine components, ensuring they meet GE Vernova and industry quality standards
- Conduct technical risk assessments and build risk mitigation plans, including Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), design verification, and validation test plans
- Support the resolution of safety and functional issues on turbines already in the field
- Apply a systems-thinking approach — understanding how a change to your component ripples across the broader turbine design
- Bring standard design practices, tools, and lessons learned into your work to continuously sharpen how the team designs
