Controls Application Engineering Intern

Role overview:

The Control Application Engineer Intern will work in the Control and Protections Systems Department within the HVDC unit of GE Vernova to support the design and implementation of HVDC Control and Protection Systems to meet the demands of the grid and renewable energy market.

As leaders in the energy space our goal is to accelerate the transition for a more energy efficient grid to fulfil the needs of tomorrow. Our projects are unique and interesting, and you’ll need to bring a solution-focused, positive approach to each one to do your best to collaborate with world renowned experts on game-changing technologies.

HVDC Control & Protection Systems Engineering supports the design and implementation of HVDC Control and Protection Systems by analysing customer requirements, assessing the necessary deviation from standard solutions, modelling the proposed HVDC control system, providing requirements for the hardware and software teams to implement and validate the resulting system.

The successful candidate will be part of a highly motivated, dynamic and growing team of engineers working on the design of HVDC Control Systems. This is a very exciting and dynamic field of control engineering in which GE’s leading contribution has worldwide recognition. 

Responsibilities:

• Work as part of an expert team, giving ample opportunity for learning design and development skills highly relevant for working with any control and protection system; in particular, power electronics systems and grid technology.
• Execute with guidance from senior engineering resources, the analysis, simulation, test, and integration required to define, and support assigned components, modules or systems that meet business standards Including:
• PSSE/PSCAD and PSSE/RSCAD Power system network conversion, modelling and verification.
• Plant modelling of HVDC System in various simulation tools (MATLAB, RSCAD, PSCAD etc) and its verification.
• Support in producing required technical documentation, under the supervision of senior engineers.
• Follow the departments standard design practices, engineering reviews and guidelines.
• Use some level of judgment and has ability to propose different solutions outside of set parameters but with guidance.

The Person:

The candidate will have completed 2 years of degree level in a related science such as Electrical Engineering, or equivalent knowledge or experience.

However, this is not as important as a proven track record and evidence that you have the mind-set and abilities to perform the role.
