To accelerate growth and enhance customer value, Grid Automation is evolving its structure to drive innovation in grid flexibility, reliability, and sustainability while strengthening its core portfolio. A key aspect of this transformation is the creation of the GridBeats Product Line, which focuses on software-defined automation solutions, integrating advanced technologies, and developing differentiated product platforms to meet future market needs.
Join us in building the Future of Substation Monitoring. Lead the architecture of a next-generation solution that brings together smart online sensors, seamless data integration, and advanced analytics to transform real-time grid operations. If you're passionate about innovation, system design, and making a real impact on critical energy infrastructure—this is your opportunity to shape what’s next.
We are looking for a Senior Product Systems Architect to shape the architecture and system-level definition of a digital monitoring platform for substations.
This is a product-facing technical leadership role at the intersection of customer needs, product strategy, system architecture and engineering execution. The successful candidate will translate customer problems into technically feasible and commercially sensible system solutions, while coordinating internal engineering teams, suppliers and technology partners.
Roles and Responsibilities:
Define and own the overall architecture of the substation monitoring platform, encompassing hardware, firmware, software, and data layers.
Translate customer and product needs into system capabilities, requirements, interfaces and technical acceptance criteria, ensuring alignment with product goals and operational constraints.
Act as the technical bridge between product management, domain SME, engineering teams, suppliers and customers.
Lead technical product discovery, feasibility assessments, prototypes and architecture trade-offs across performance, cost, scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
Design software architecture to support edge-to-cloud integration, including secure communication, scalable data pipelines, and deployment flexibility
Design the software and data architecture for secure edge-to-cloud integration, scalable data pipelines, and flexible deployment across local, distributed, and cloud environments.
Align system design with industry standards (e.g., IEC 61850, IEEE C37, DNP3, MODBUS) for secure and reliable operation in grid environments.
Integrate sensor data, asset models, and diagnostic tools into a unified platform covering data acquisition, processing, visualization, and diagnostics..
Establish architectural patterns for modular deployment, secure access control, update mechanisms, and multi-tenant operation for cloud systems.
Manage technical decisions around containerization (e.g., Docker), orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), and cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure).
Support make–buy–partner decisions and lead the technical evaluation and integration of suppliers, sensors, analytics providers and third-party technologies,
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (master’s preferred).
Join GE Vernova GridBeats and help shape the future of substation monitoring. Your expertise will drive innovation in a collaborative team, delivering real impact on critical energy infrastructure.
