Job Description

Job Description Summary

The Professional APS Validation Engineer is responsible for leading verification and validation of embedded software applications for GE Protection and Automation systems. This role requires strong technical expertise in protection IEDs (MiCOM/UR) and substation automation, with a focus on delivering high-quality, secure, and reliable solutions. The engineer designs, owns, and executes comprehensive test strategies aligned with Agile development cycles, ensuring full requirements traceability and validation coverage.

The role involves validating communication and cybersecurity aspects of protection systems using protocols such as IEC 61850 (GOOSE, MMS, SV), DNP3, TCP/IP, and SNMP. Python is used extensively to develop test automation, analyze logs, and support regression testing. The engineer applies fundamental protection knowledge to validate IED behavior under normal, boundary, and fault conditions using tools such as OMICRON CMC350 and IED Scout.

As a technical lead, the engineer identifies and analyzes defects, collaborates with development teams to prioritize and resolve issues, and verifies corrective actions.
