Requirements
What we're looking for
You're an engineer who's as comfortable interpreting a vibration spectrum as you are explaining what it means to a customer - someone who enjoys solving mechanical puzzles and wants to see their analysis translate directly into turbines that run better, longer.
Required:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Wind Energy, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline - this role requires formal engineering grounding to make sound structural and mechanical judgments that affect offshore turbine safety and reliability.
- Strong experience in wind energy (offshore preferred) or heavy rotating machinery.
- Hands-on experience analyzing CMS and vibration data.
- Working knowledge of wind turbine mechanical drivetrains (gearboxes, bearings, generators) and structural dynamics.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience working directly with customers.
Nice to have
Preferred:
- ISO (International Organization for Standardization) vibration certification, Category II or III.
- Experience leading Root Cause Analysis (RCA) using methodologies such as 5-Why, Fishbone, or Fault Tree Analysis.
- Proficiency with CMS software platforms, data visualization tools, and engineering analysis software.
You'll work both independently and as part of a connected team, in a fast-paced environment where your judgment calls carry real weight.
Pay & benefits
What you'll get
GE Vernova employees rise to the challenge of building a world that works. We offer a robust, competitive benefits package designed to support your health, your family, and your financial wellbeing, along with ongoing opportunities for on-the-job learning and career growth - so you can keep developing your expertise as you help us keep offshore wind running.
The role
The Mechanical Analytics Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability, availability, and structural integrity of offshore wind turbine fleets. The primary focus of this position is the advanced analysis of Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS) and vibration data to detect early-stage mechanical and structural anomalies.
The ideal candidate bridges data analytics and hands-on mechanical engineering, acting as the primary technical point of contact for internal and external stakeholders. You will lead and support Root Cause Analyses (RCAs), resolve technical non-conformities driven by CMS data, and directly address mechanical inquiries from internal and external customers in order to improve the wind turbines availability. Flexibility to travel for site visits, inspections, and stakeholder meetings is required.
Offshore wind turbines only create value when they keep running - and keeping them running starts with catching problems before they become failures. As a Mechanical Analytics Engineer, you'll turn vibration and condition-monitoring data into early warnings that protect the reliability of GE Vernova's offshore wind turbine fleet, Haliade-X and Haliade-150 platforms, and help shape how we monitor and maintain next-generation offshore assets.
You'll sit at the intersection of data analytics and mechanical engineering, acting as the technical point of contact for teams and customers working to keep turbines online. This is hands-on, problem-solving work: you'll dig into vibration signatures, chase down the root cause of mechanical issues, and turn your findings into fixes that hold up in the field.
What you'll do
- Monitor and interpret CMS (Condition Monitoring Systems) and vibration data from offshore wind turbine drivetrains (generators, main bearings) and structural components, spotting early anomaly signatures and degradation trends before they become failures.
- Investigate and resolve technical non-conformities flagged by CMS alerts or routine inspections, and develop practical mitigation or repair strategies for structural and mechanical wear issues.
- Lead and support Root Cause Analyses (RCAs) for complex mechanical and structural failures, working with engineering teams to build long-term corrective actions and reliability improvements.
- Serve as the technical go-to person for mechanical and CMS-related questions from clients and project partners, translating complex findings into clear, actionable recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences alike.
- Partner across teams - field operations, asset management, engineering, and quality - to align on what matters most for turbine health and availability.
- Travel periodically to offshore wind sites for inspections, stakeholder meetings, and technical oversight.
