About this role
Job Description Summary GE Vernova has been executing multiple projects for HVDC system utilizing line-commutated converter (LCC) and Voltage Source Converter (VSC) technology. There have been requirements to provide after-sales support for close-out projects. As an Aftersales Lead Control & Protection System Application Engineer, you will be closely coordinating with the Aftersales Team leader. The selected candidate will be expected to fulfill following responsibilities.
Job Description Key Responsibilities
• Updating the control & Protection system as per the requirements. • Accountable for preparing the responses to technical queries from clients and solving customer issues. • Able to perform Dynamic Performance Studies (DPS) and other design studies based on aftersales requirements using simulation tools (i.e. PSCAD. MATLAB) • Control and protection parameters re-tuning to meet grid stability criteria. • Able to do plant modelling in various simulation tools (MATLAB, PSCAD etc) and its verification.
• Design, develop, model, implement & debug control systems algorithms for HVDC converter functions 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. • Conversion of MATLAB Simulink algorithms to PSCAD models • Able to perform model-in-the-loop (MIL) verification according to the project requirement. • Collaborate with system engineers, functional designers, and testers in agile sprints, ensuring tasks are tracked and documented in JIRA. • Play key role in technical reviews, unit testing, and integration sessions to ensure model quality and maintainability. • Manage version control and branching activities through SVN/GitHub Enterprise. • Work closely with other engineers to complement existing resources and drive successful execution.
