About the Role

The Senior Regional Customer Application Engineer (RCAE) is the primary technical interface with customers across the Americas during the early opportunity development phase, before formal proposal issuance. This role is responsible for helping define the right solution early — balancing customer needs, commercial competitiveness, product standardization, and downstream execution readiness. The RCAE shapes opportunities before they enter firm proposal by clarifying technical scope, identifying key assumptions, evaluating standard versus non-standard configurations, and positioning GE Vernova solutions to improve bid quality and execution confidence. This customer-facing technical-commercial role requires strong experience in gas turbines, thermal power generation, and power plant architecture, combined with the ability to influence project development strategy.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary early-stage technical interface for assigned opportunities across the Americas prior to firm proposal.
Lead early technical engagement with customers, developers, EPCs, utilities, IPPs, and strategic partners to understand project drivers, decision criteria, schedule needs, and key technical assumptions.
Define and recommend the optimal technical solution and positioning strategy for each opportunity, with strong bias toward standard, executable offerings.
Shape opportunities to improve readiness before formal proposal, including clarifying configuration, scope boundaries, customer requirements, and major technical/commercial risks.
Identify and communicate where customer requirements align with standard product offerings and where deviations introduce cost, schedule, execution, or approval risk.
Support customer discussions and internal decision-making related to power plant architecture and value trades.
Engage credibly in data center power generation discussions, including onsite generation strategies, architecture tradeoffs, and the technical/commercial implications of customer priorities.
Use plant performance and thermodynamic modeling tools to evaluate and develop simple cycle, combined cycle, CHP, CCS, and other thermal power configurations as appropriate within RCAE scope.
Conduct or coordinate configuration optimization and high-level lifecycle/economic value assessments of GE Vernova and competitive solutions during early opportunity shaping.
Work closely with Sales, Product Line, Value Solutions Leaders, Application Engineering, and other functions to align opportunity strategy, technical positioning, and support needs.
Coordinate with adjacent technical teams where customer interest includes offerings outside the RCAE team’s primary technical ownership.
Provide technical content and support for customer presentations, workshops, and strategy discussions, both in-person and virtually.
Respond to pre-RFP customer requests for technical information, including support for permitting, emissions, interconnection, and preliminary design basis discussions.
Define and communicate to downstream proposal and execution teams the opportunity background, recommended configuration, major assumptions, known risks, customer expectations, and required approvals or exceptions.
Gather market intelligence, competitor insights, and customer feedback to improve commercial positioning, standard offerings, and solution strategies.
Provide voice-of-customer and market feedback to internal engineering, product, and commercial teams regarding emerging customer needs, product gaps, and opportunity trends.
Support a Lean operating culture by helping reduce rework, improve clarity early, and strengthen standard work across the front end of the commercial process.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from an accredited university or college.
Significant experience in thermal power generation, gas turbine applications, power plant engineering, project development, proposal engineering, commercial operations, or customer application engineering.
Demonstrated technical and/or commercial experience with one or more of the following: heavy-duty gas turbines, combined cycle or simple cycle plant configuration, steam turbine / generator / HRSG integration, thermal plant development and evaluation, data center development, architecture, behind the meter power, infrastructure & economics.
Experience engaging customers or commercial teams in technical discussions that influence project direction, equipment selection, or plant architecture.
Ability to evaluate technical requirements, customer objectives, and business constraints together and convert them into practical solution recommendations.
Ability and willingness to travel regularly across the Americas for customer meetings, workshops, and internal collaboration, approximately 20% or as required by business needs.
Eligibility to work in the United States.
