You join a team working on some of the most advanced technologies in the power industry. As Product Manager – Control Systems Algorithms, you help define the algorithms that sit at the heart of high-voltage direct current and grid stability solutions, supporting the integration of renewable energy, strengthening power networks, and enabling a more reliable energy future.
In this role, you set the direction for a portfolio of control system algorithms used across complex grid applications. You bring together market needs, technical strategy, and product thinking to create scalable, high-performing solutions that meet the changing needs of electricity networks around the world.
This is a hybrid role and can be based in Stafford, United Kingdom, with additional opportunities in Berlin, Germany; Issy-les-Moulineaux or Villeurbanne, France; or Tampere, Finland.
You lead the strategy, roadmap, and lifecycle of control systems algorithms across a broad portfolio of grid technologies.
You will:
Define and drive the roadmap for algorithm capabilities across transmission and grid stability solutions
Shape a product approach that improves reusability, consistency, and scalability across multiple applications
Translate market trends, customer needs, and future grid requirements into clear product priorities
Partner with engineering, system architecture, research and development, and commercial teams to align product direction
Own product-level requirements and help ensure clear traceability from solution need to delivered capability
Guide lifecycle management from development and release through support and retirement
Support strong product documentation, configuration management, and governance
Use feedback from projects, service teams, and quality insights to improve performance and reliability
Contribute to technology decisions, investment planning, and long-term portfolio competitiveness
Help represent the business in industry and standards discussions where relevant
Your work directly influences the performance, flexibility, and future readiness of critical grid technologies.
By building a strong and scalable algorithm portfolio, you will help:
improve grid reliability and stability
support greater integration of renewable energy
create solutions that can be reused across technologies and markets
strengthen product competitiveness and long-term business value
accelerate innovation in a fast-changing energy landscape
You bring strong product, systems, and technical leadership experience in power system controls or closely related technologies.
You are likely to have:
Substantive experience with control systems algorithms in power transmission, grid stability, or related energy applications
Strong understanding of software-led product development and requirements management
Experience working across complex, cross-functional technical environments
The ability to connect detailed technical topics with broader product and business goals
Confidence influencing stakeholders across engineering, product, and commercial teams
A structured approach to roadmap planning, prioritisation, and lifecycle management
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences
It would be helpful if you also have experience with modelling or simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink or PSCAD, or with product collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence, but these are not essential if you bring strong relevant capability.
You take on a role with real strategic and technical influence at a time of major change in global energy systems. You will have the opportunity to shape product direction, work with expert teams across multiple countries, and contribute to technologies that are central to cleaner, more resilient power networks.
You will join an environment that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement, where your ideas can help define what comes next.
At GE Vernova, you contribute to electrifying the world while helping to decarbonize it. You work alongside people with deep expertise, diverse perspectives, and a shared commitment to building a more sustainable energy future.
We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and able to thrive. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences.
This is a permanent hybrid role. You can be based in:
Stafford, United Kingdom
