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.
