Job Description SummaryEvery turbine blade, wind tower, and power system in the world depends on one thing: mechanical and structural systems that endure.
At GE Vernova Advanced Research, we're not just studying mechanical engineering — we're reinventing it. With 150+ active energy-focused programs and partnerships spanning 420+ leading institutions, our researchers are pushing the boundaries of what's structurally possible to power the global energy transition.
We're looking for a Technology Manager for our Mechanical Engineering team focused on research — a bold technical leader who will guide a world-class team of researchers developing next-generation structural mechanics and durability solutions for GE Vernova's Power, Wind, and Electrification businesses.
This is more than a leadership role. It's a chance to define how the world's most critical energy systems are designed to last.Job Description
