Job Description Summary The Control Automation System Principal Engineer serves as the technical authority for automation systems, industrial controls, and operational technologies across the organization. This role leads the architecture, design, implementation, and governance of advanced control systems that enable safe, reliable, and efficient manufacturing or operational performance. The Principal Engineer mentors engineering teams, drives innovation, establishes automation standards, and leads strategic initiatives aligned with business objectives. Job Description The world is electrifying faster than ever, and at GE Vernova, we're building the technologies that make it possible. As a Principal Engineer in Control & Automation Systems, you'll serve as a technical authority shaping the future of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and digital substation technology. This is a role where your expertise directly influences how power reaches millions of people - and where your ideas help define what comes next. What You'll Do You'll lead the technical design, architecture, and delivery of advanced control and automation systems for HVDC and digital substation environments. Specifically, you will: Own the technical solution for control and automation systems end-to-end - from requirements definition and architecture through to implementation, validation, and governance - ensuring designs meet customer requirements and comply with IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5, and related power system communication standards. Lead HVDC control and protection design, including network and cybersecurity architecture, Substation Configuration Language (SCL) data modelling, protection logic, interlocking logic, and integration of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), bay controllers, merging units, and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) within digital substations. Drive engineering excellence by identifying and implementing improvements to methods, tools, processes, and systems that enhance customer value, and by upholding Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost (SQDC) principles across the team. Collaborate and influence across project teams, New Product Introduction (NPI), utilities, and vendors to support system integration, testing, and commissioning; provide technical consultation to cross-functional teams on manufacturing, supply chain, and field challenges. Shape the profession - represent GE Vernova externally at industry conferences and in professional bodies such as IEC and CIGRE; contribute to the Patent Evaluation Board (PEB); mentor junior engineers; and support hiring, promotion, and succession planning within Engineering & Technology.
