Lead Systems Engineer
- Lisburn
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Develop and apply system expertise to refine and develop M&D monitoring products, demonstrating clear understanding of operational principles, design and usage.
- Work collaboratively within a diverse cross-functional teams to define, design and develop new system concepts and features for M&D monitoring products, developing system, designs and architecture to support key projects.
- Work hands-on with electronics, mechanical parts, and basic software integration (e.g., scripting, test firmware) to build and iterate on early design concepts with long-term system architecture and manufacturability in mind.
- Produce early-stage system design documentation, such as block diagrams, interface definitions, and communication protocol summaries, to support technical alignment and future development.
- Maintain a well-documented approach to builds, ensuring traceability and clarity of setup and outcomes.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to understand customer needs, system requirements and constraints.
- Participate in hands-on system testing and validation within a dynamic team, recording results and observations in structured formats.
- Present prototype findings and experimental data clearly to wider team to inform design direction and risk reduction.
- Work collaboratively within diverse international and cross-functional teams which may include occasional international travel.
- Apply GE Vernova way principles in day-to-day work with a safety-first mindset.
