Senior Embedded Products and Software Reliability Engineer

Senior Embedded Products and Software Reliability Engineer Join to apply for the Senior Embedded Products and Software Reliability Engineer role at GE Vernova . Job Description Summary We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Embedded Reliability Engineer with a strong background in protection and control systems, energy management devices, and utility‑scale software for transmission and distribution (T&D) applications. In this role, you will lead reliability initiatives across the lifecycle of critical grid automation products—including protection relays, control devices, digital substation solutions, and advanced software platforms—to ensure system resilience, regulatory compliance, and long‑term field performance. Key Responsibilities Perform reliability modeling and statistical analysis of energy management and protection/control products to predict field performance and act as authority for reliability design decisions. Develop and execute reliability test plans for hardware and software, including hardware‑in‑the-loop (HIL), environmental, and stress testing for grid components. Conduct and lead FMEA, FMECA, and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for hardware/software failures across embedded systems and communication layers. Work with product design, systems engineering, and software teams to embed Design for Reliability (DfR) from concept through deployment. Analyze field data from deployed devices (e.g., relays, RTUs, control systems) to identify systemic issues and recommend corrective/preventive actions. Collaborate with utilities and customers to support grid asset performance programs and modernization initiatives, including IEC 61850, virtualization, and advanced diagnostics. Develop and maintain reliability KPIs (e.g., MTBF, FIT rate, availability) for product lines. Identify and drive adoption of predictive and condition‑based maintenance strategies using remote diagnostics, SCADA, and sensor data. Consult with the Innovation Office and Applications team to ensure reliability priorities influence working group participation, standards leadership, and technology strategy. Stay current on regulatory compliance requirements (e.g., NERC, IEEE, IEC) impacting utility asset reliability and cybersecurity. Provide coaching, training, and guidance on reliability practices to internal teams and external stakeholders. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, systems engineering, or a related discipline. Minimum of 7 years of experience in reliability, systems, or product engineering in the energy or utility sector. Desired Characteristics Experience with protection & control systems, grid‑edge devices, substation automation, and utility‑grade software solutions. Hands‑on experience with reliability engineering tools and standards (e.g., ReliaSoft, ISO 9001/45001, IEC 61025). Knowledge of communications protocols and standards used in T&D systems: IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, IEEE C37.118, etc. Strong analytical skills and experience with data analysis platforms (e.g., Python, R, Minitab, Power BI). Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to engage cross‑functional teams and utility customers. Understanding of grid reliability challenges in T&D environments and willingness to travel for customer engagements and global collaboration. Collaborative leadership across engineering, field teams, and customers. Data‑driven problem‑solving mindset with attention to long‑term product health and systems thinking. Proactive approach to emerging technologies and continuous improvement. Master’s degree in reliability or systems engineering. Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) or similar professional certification. Experience with model‑based design and HIL testing (e.g., RTDS, PSCAD, EMTP) for utility applications and simulation tools used in electronics and CAD design. Experience working directly with T&D utilities supporting product deployments, failure investigations, or asset strategies. Familiarity with cybersecurity risk and reliability considerations for critical infrastructure. Compensation and Benefits Pay range: $152,400 – $254,000 USD per year for a U.S. based position, with geographic differentials of 110 %, 120 %, or 130 %. Bonus eligibility: annual variable incentive bonus. Benefits include medical, dental, vision, prescription drug coverage; access to a Health Coach; Employee Assistance Program; 401(k) retirement plan with company matching; tuition assistance; adoption assistance; paid parental leave; disability benefits; life insurance; 12 paid holidays; and permissive time off. Application Information Application Deadline: December 01, 2025. Relocation assistance: No. Remote position.
