Lead Combined Cycle Application Engineer (m/f/d)

About the role

GE Vernova is looking for a Lead Combined Cycle Plant Process & Performance Engineer (m/f/d) in Baden. You will provide gas plant heat balance diagrams, functional specifications for main mechanical equipment, plant performance predictions and correction curves for tenders and execution projects worldwide, and define system integration concepts for combined cycle plants. The role also includes part of GE Vernova's work on decarbonization solutions for pre-combustion (hydrogen) and post-combustion (carbon capture) technologies.

Key responsibilities

• Provide guidance and leadership on combined cycle modeling for ITO (tendering), OTR (execution) and NPI and standardization projects
• Lead heat balance calculations and produce correction curves to support timely bid execution
• Work closely with product application engineering for gas turbines, steam turbines and HRSGs, including process calculations and component design such as pumps, control valves and heat exchangers
• Deliver heat and mass balance diagrams and performance correction curves for customer and R&D projects
• Collaborate with global multidisciplinary engineering teams and manage technical project risks related to plant design and performance
• Develop plant integration concepts and drive continuous improvement of organizational workflows and processes
• Oversee the development of standards, technical harmonization, design practices and design templates

Required profile

• Advanced experience in engineering and process engineering, at a level comparable to a bachelor's degree or equivalent
• Proven technical knowledge of thermodynamics and plant equipment process design
• Adherence to the GE Vernova Way (innovation, customer focus, lean, one team, accountability)

Required skills

• Combined cycle performance optimization, thermodynamics and equipment process design
• Gas turbine, combined cycle and steam turbine products
• Process integration and simulation tools such as Ebsilon, Thermoflow and Gatecycle
• Good communication, teamwork and analytical skills, able to coordinate several projects at once
• Advantageous: process flow diagrams, plant operational concepts, water/steam cycle technology, performance guarantees and equipment sizing
