Lead Fleet Reliability Data Engineer

We are seeking a Fleet Reliability Data Engineer to join the Fleet Performance & Analytics team within the Fleet Intelligence & Reliability organization. This role will build and maintain the trusted data foundation required to understand the health performance reliability and intervention history of GE Vernovas global Solar and Storage installed fleet.
The engineer will connect operational telemetry alarms and events asset hierarchy equipment configuration software versions maintenance activities component replacements field interventions failure records and Root Cause Analysis findings into reliable and scalable engineering datasets. The role will ensure that fleet data is complete contextualized traceable and accessible for reliability analysis performance monitoring technical investigations and predictive analytics.
This role is distinct from a traditional enterprise data-engineering position. It requires strong data-engineering capability combined with an understanding of industrial assets reliability concepts and engineering workflows. The successful candidate will partner closely with Reliability & RCA Data Analytics & AI Product Engineering Controls Digital Technology Quality and Field Operations to convert fragmented fleet information into durable engineering intelligence.

• Create reliable APIs data services semantic layers and governed access patterns that enable engineering teams to use fleet data efficiently and consistently.
• Maintain data lineage source-to-target mappings interface specifications transformation logic ownership definitions and technical documentation for reliability data products.
• Implement monitoring and alerting for data-pipeline health ingestion failures schema changes latency processing errors and data-quality degradation.
• Support migration and harmonization of historical fleet data while preserving source context auditability and engineering meaning.
• Work with cybersecurity data-governance and platform teams to ensure appropriate access control retention privacy backup recovery and lifecycle management.
• Improve engineering productivity by automating repetitive data preparation reconciliation event correlation fleet-population analysis and reliability reporting activities.
• Communicate data limitations quality risks dependencies and remediation priorities clearly to engineering and leadership stakeholders.
• Promote a culture of data ownership traceability technical rigor collaboration and continuous improvement across the Fleet Intelligence & Reliability organization.

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Data Engineering Software Engineering Electrical Engineering Systems Engineering Control Systems Engineering or a related technical field.
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python for data ingestion transformation validation automation testing and data-product development.
• Experience designing and operating ETL or ELT pipelines that integrate data from multiple structured semi-structured and time-series sources.
• Experience with data modeling relational databases schemas APIs version control automated testing and production-support practices.
• Experience implementing data-quality validation lineage monitoring error handling reconciliation and traceability controls.
• Ability to translate engineering and reliability requirements into scalable data structures interfaces and reusable data products.
