About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Contribute to continuous improvement and innovation in HVDC control systems through future NPI-led projects.
Design, develop, model, implement & debug control systems algorithms for HVDC converter functions (e.g., current control, firing control, VDCOL, run-up sequencing), using MATLAB/Simulink adhering to established functional requirements and internal development standards.
Integrate and validate functional blocks based on pre-defined control requirements and interface specifications.
Participate in code generation workflows using MATLAB Embedded Coder, ensuring compliance with in-house software architecture and coding standards.
Perform model-in-the-loop (MIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) verification according to the project verification plan.
Collaborate with system engineers, functional designers, and testers in agile sprints, ensuring tasks are tracked and documented in JIRA.
Contribute to peer reviews, unit testing, and integration sessions to ensure model quality and maintainability.
Collaborate with in an agile Scrum framework, leveraging JIRA for backlog management.
Manage version control and branching activities through GitHub Enterprise.
Work closely with GE Vernova’s in-house engineering team to complement existing resources and drive successful project execution.
