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 covers part of GE Vernova's decarbonization work on pre-combustion (hydrogen) and post-combustion (carbon capture) technologies.

Key responsibilities

• Provide guidance and leadership on combined cycle modeling for winning ITO (tendering) proposals, OTR (execution) projects and NPI and standardization initiatives.
• Lead heat balance completions and produce correction curves to support timely bid execution.
• Work closely with product application engineering for gas turbines, steam turbines and HRSGs, and perform system engineering for core plant equipment including pumps, control valves, heat exchangers and boilers.
• Deliver heat and mass balance diagrams and performance correction curves for customer and R&D projects.
• Collaborate with global multidisciplinary engineering teams and identify plant integration concepts.
• Document technical data in line with engineering policies, procedures and contracts, and manage technical project risks.
• Drive standards, technical harmonization, design practices and templates, and oversee continuous improvement of workflows and processes.

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 operation concepts, water/steam cycle technology, performance guarantees and equipment sizing.
