Technical Leader, Controls Systems Integration

As Technical Leader (TL) Controls Systems Integration you will lead the Controls System Integration Leaders (SILs) team providing technical coordination across New Product Introduction (NPI) programs for their entire lifecycle. Moreover you will coordinate the development of engineering requirements design risk assessment and mitigation for new Software Change Requests in line with the Controls Demand Management and Release Flightboard prioritization.

You will be reporting to the Controls Integration Leader joining a global team of Systems engineers that is part of the Controls Lifecycle Sub-system within the GE Vernova Wind Engineering organization.

In addition to Controls you will closely interact with other Sub-systems and Systems engineers as well as with Program Management and Services/Customer engineering.

By supporting multiple concurrent new products and an installed fleet of 40000 wind turbines this role offers the opportunity to greatly contribute to deliver reliable affordable and sustainable energy to GE Vernovas customers all over the world.

Roles & Responsibilities
