Staff Software Engineer - AI/ML

Job Description Summary

GE Vernova is seeking a Staff AI Engineer to build and scale AI-native systems that power intelligent automation across AEMS, ADMS, and DERMS applications. This is a deeply hands-on technical role focused on designing, coding, deploying, and operating production-grade AI agent platforms in mission-critical grid environments.
You will architect and implement multi-agent systems, model-serving infrastructure, and distributed backend services that integrate real-time grid data, optimization engines, and AI reasoning capabilities.

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Design and personally implement core components of AI agent frameworks, including orchestration engines, tool integration layers, and state management systems.
• Build production-grade backend services in Python (and/or Java, C++, Go) to support AI inference, workflow automation, and real-time grid analytics.
• Develop and deploy LLM-powered agents with structured prompting, tool usage, guardrails, and memory mechanisms.
• Implement model serving infrastructure, including inference APIs, batching strategies, performance tuning, and monitoring.
• Write scalable microservices and event-driven components that ingest and process high-volume time-series data.
• Integrate AI services with SCADA, PMU, simulation engines, contingency analysis tools, and operational data platforms.
• Optimize system performance for low-latency decision support in control center environments.
• Build CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, and observability tooling for AI services.
• Develop explain-ability, logging, and traceability mechanisms for AI-generated recommendations or actions.
• Troubleshoot production issues across distributed AI systems and drive performance and reliability improvements.
• Conduct deep code reviews and actively contribute high-quality code to shared repositories.

Education & Qualifications:

• Master's or PhD in Computer Science, AI/ML, or related field.
• 8+ years of hands-on software development experience, with significant backend engineering depth.
• Demonstrated experience building and deploying AI/ML systems into production (not just experimentation).
• Strong proficiency in Python and experience building backend systems in Java, C++, or Go.
• Experience implementing LLM integrations, prompt orchestration, agent tooling, or multi-step AI workflows.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, APIs, and microservices architecture.
• Experience building model serving pipelines and inference systems (REST/gRPC, async processing, streaming).
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong debugging and performance optimization skills in distributed environments.
• Experience working with time-series or streaming data systems.
• Familiarity with EMS, DMS, WAMS, SCADA, or power system applications is highly desirable.
• Proven track record of shipping reliable, secure, high-performance systems in production environments.
