About The Position

As a Field Systems Engineer for Monitoring & Diagnostics OTR (Order-To-Remittance) project execution and deployments, you’ll be the technical resource responsible for deploying the monitoring infrastructure that enables monitoring of gas power assets. From design to physical installation of servers, switches, and firewalls at customer sites, you'll own the full technical project lifecycle — from blueprint to commissioning. This role is for someone who thrives in the field, solves problems under pressure, and takes pride in delivering complex installations that work the first time.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or relevant discipline.
3 years of experience in IT/engineering, including hands-on field installation of network equipment (servers, routers, firewalls, and switches) and familiarity with industrial control systems.
Proficiency with Windows and Linux operating systems, and experience with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) / Distributed Control System (DCS) protocols, including Modbus, OPC (OLE for Process Control), TCP/IP, and serial communication.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with structured monitoring and quality control practices.
Comfort operating independently within a highly matrixed, global organization across multiple sites, functions, and time zones.
Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally (Americas) as required, ~30-50% annually.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools: Visio, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word.

Nice To Haves

Experience deploying network or cybersecurity equipment, particularly in NERC CIP (North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection) regulated environments.
Familiarity with virtual machine environments (VMware, Hyper-V) and industrial server infrastructure, including firewalls, network switches, and cybersecurity hardware.
Experience with Balance of Plant (BOP) or DCS integrations using SCADA/DCS protocols such as OPC UA-DA.
Background in power generation environments, with exposure to additional sensing technologies such as vibration sensors, combustion dynamics monitoring, or generator health systems.
Lean, Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification — or equivalent process improvement experience.

Responsibilities

Own technical delivery end-to-end: Lead technical design definition, site integration planning, and the physical installation of hardware on-site for M&D platform deployments — including servers, peripheral devices, and associated network infrastructure.
Be the go-to technical expert: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for customers and internal teams during deployments, leading troubleshooting efforts in real time and ensuring all network and system designs meet applicable industry and GE Vernova standards.
Drive documentation and procurement accuracy: Generate Bills of Materials (BOMs) create site specific design documents and installation plans, update mechanical drawings, and issue material requisitions aligned to technical specifications and project timelines.
Navigate complexity across sites and functions: Coordinate simultaneous project deployments across multiple customer locations, time zones, and internal teams — applying solid monitoring and control practices to maintain quality throughout.
Show up in the field: Travel to customer sites approximately 30–50% of the time for installations, commissioning, troubleshooting, and testing — both domestically and internationally.
