Data Center Solution Architect

About the role

GE Vernova is in a rapid growth phase in the data center market. Come join a global operation delivering innovative power solutions uniquely from "generation to GPU", to the world's leading AI data center gigawatt-scale infrastructure projects. You will be a pivotal hyperscaler and colocation data center solution technical advocate and have a pulse on the latest architecture and design trends and tradeoffs to usher GEV into the next exciting era in data center evolution.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a "grid-to-GPU" power train technical architect for hyperscalers (AI training, AI inference, general purpose cloud), colocation (AI-centric and general tenancy models). Should be very knowledgeable about industry migration to 800V DC architectures.
• Serve as GEV's primary customer-facing technical authority for all AI training campus and hyperscale DC opportunities. Must have good customer presence and confident in solution architecture.
• Develop and own GEV "Campus Power Reference Architectures" — experience in designing and documenting single-line diagrams and power system designs for each of the data center archetypes using GEV products.
• Lead technical discovery sessions with hyperscaler DC engineering teams — documenting power requirements, site constraints, and competitive install base.
• Author technical proposals and power system studies (load flow, fault analysis, arc-flash) in support of RFP responses.
• Collaborate with NPI/PM team to validate new product designs against real customer power systems (system design, sizing, and integration).
• Conduct internal technical training sessions for COE BD team and BU sales (minimum quarterly) on Data Center power architecture.
• Represent and drive standards for GEV in OCP, Nvidia, other relevant organizations (joint role with Standards Liaison).
• Build and maintain a library of GEV data center customer case studies and reference designs for use in proposals and marketing. Help generate detailed competitive analysis.
