Job Description Summary

If you're a seasoned high-voltage testing professional who thrives on technical complexity, drives continuous improvement, and wants to leave a real mark on the future of energy infrastructure — this role was built for you.

As a Lead Manufacturing Specialist in Production QA at GE Vernova, you will own the full testing lifecycle for transformers and reactors — from routine and type testing through to automation, digitalization, and lab excellence. Your work directly supports the reliability of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems that power grids across the world. This is a senior individual contributor role with broad technical influence and a clear mandate to shape how testing is done — not just today, but for years to come.

Job Description

• Lead routine and type testing for transformers and reactors in line with customer, regulatory, and international standards — including IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), IEEE, IS, ANSI (American National Standards Institute), and customer specifications up to 800 kV.

• Drive automation and digitalization of testing processes to improve turnaround times, reduce downtime, and strengthen product reliability.

• Conduct structured root cause analysis (RCA) for test failures and deviations — resolving complex anomalies across HVDC, impulse, and partial discharge (PD) testing.

• Prepare accurate, audit-ready technical reports and present complex test data in clear, business-friendly language to internal and external stakeholders.

• Lead customer inspections and NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) / ISO audits with confidence, and support business development activities during technical reviews.

• Mentor and develop team capability, promote a strong safety culture, and guide high-voltage testing operations with decisive, data-informed leadership.

We're looking for a technically deep, operationally sharp professional who combines high-voltage expertise with a continuous improvement mindset and the communication skills to bring others along.

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field — a formal qualification is advantageous, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements.

• 12+ years of experience in manufacturing quality assurance, testing data analysis, and digitalization within a high-voltage or power equipment testing environment.

• Demonstrated expertise in dielectric, impulse, and short-circuit testing systems, and the ability to independently troubleshoot hardware and data acquisition (DAQ) software issues.

• Solid working knowledge of IEC, IEEE, IS, and ANSI standards as they apply to transformer and reactor testing.

Preferred

• Experience with HVDC technology and testing at voltages up to 800 kV.

• Familiarity with Lean and Kaizen methodologies applied to lab operations or manufacturing quality systems.

• Experience managing NABL/ISO accreditation processes or supporting regulatory audits.
