Mechanical Engineer- Gearbox (m/f/d)
Job Description Summary
At GE Vernova, the work of proving what's next is never theoretical - it's a disciplined, hands-on pursuit of what engineering can achieve. As Mechanical Engineer- Gearbox, you will apply advanced analytical methods to validate the structural and dynamic behavior of complex mechanical systems, helping to determine whether a concept is not just promising, but real and buildable. Your work sits at the intersection of physics, materials science, and engineering methodology - and the conclusions you reach will shape decisions that matter.
Job Description
Key Responsibilities
- Perform in-depth analysis of static (structural) and dynamic ( rotor dynamics , vibrations) behavior of mechanical systems to validate engineering concepts and support design decisions
- Apply scientific and engineering methodologies to demonstrate the performance and implementation potential of new concepts through test and analysis

- Use data analysis and multiple information sources to support sound engineering recommendations and resolve moderately complex technical problems
- Contribute to strategy and policy development within your area of responsibility, ensuring commitments are met and standards are upheld
- Lead small-to-mid-scale projects, communicate findings clearly to varied audiences, and build alignment across stakeholders
Qualifications
We are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements. A formal education and subsequent bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering , Engineering, Physics, or a related field is nice to have, but equivalent professional experience is equally valued.
