Job Description
At GE Vernova, we are energizing the world while accelerating the path to a more reliable, sustainable energy future. Our Energy Storage team within GE Vernova’s Power Conversion and Storage division deploys utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that integrate seamlessly into the modern grid, driving the energy transition forward. We are looking for an experienced technical leader to own and scale our Energy Storage Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and simulation capabilities. As the Senior Engineer – HIL & Simulation, you will be the technical anchor for validating our BESS controls, battery management systems (BMS), and power conversion systems (PCS). You will lead the development, commissioning, and continuous expansion of advanced HIL test benches and real-time simulation models. Your work will de-risk complex software releases, validate grid compliance, and ensure the highest standards of safety, reliability, and performance for our utility-scale energy storage solutions.
Essential Responsibilities:
- Technical Leadership & Strategy: Define and execute the roadmap for HIL testing, virtual commissioning, and simulation infrastructure across the BESS portfolio.
- HIL Architecture & Development: Design, build, and maintain real-time simulation test benches to test physical controllers and embedded software under realistic grid and battery operating conditions.
- Plant & Grid Modeling: Develop, validate, and maintain high-fidelity plant models—including battery cell/stack models, , inverters, and AC/DC power grid networks using tools like MATLAB/Simulink or RSCAD. .
- SIL Architecture & Development: Design, build, and maintain virtual simulation test benches to test project specific controls software for development and commissioning troubleshooting.
- Automation & CI/CD Integration: Develop automated test scripts and frameworks to integrate HIL/SIL testing into our continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) software pipelines, accelerating release cycles while maintaining rigorous quality gates.
- Data Analysis & Reporting: Analyze large volumes of simulation and test data to evaluate BESS performance, dynamic response, and compliance limits. Interpret complex test results, identify root causes for anomalies or edge-case failures, and translate findings into clear, actionable insights and technical reports for cross-functional engineering teams.
- Fault & Edge Case Validation: Simulate extreme grid disturbance events (e.g., low/high voltage ride-through, frequency response, grid faults) and internal battery fault scenarios to verify system protection and control logic safely.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with firmware, controls, systems engineering, and product validation teams to reproduce field issues, verify bug fixes, and sign off on new software releases.
- Mentorship: Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and best-practice training to junior and mid-level engineers on the simulation and testing team.
- Process Innovation: Drive productivity initiatives and standardize modeling workflows to accelerate NPI (New Product Introduction) cycles.
Qualifications/Requirements:
- Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Control Systems, or a related technical field.
- 6+ years of engineering experience in power electronics, renewable energy, or grid-tied systems.
- 3+ years specifically focused on HIL/SIL testing, real-time simulation, and control system validation.
- Familiar with GE Mark VIe controllers
Desired Characteristics:
- Demonstrated hands-on experience with real-time HIL hardware and software platforms (e.g., Typhoon HIL, Opal-RT, or National Instruments).
- Strong proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow, PLECS, or C/C++ for model development and auto-code generation.
- Deep understanding of BESS architecture, including Battery Management Systems (BMS), Power Conversion Systems (PCS), and Energy Management Systems (EMS).
- Excellent problem-solving abilities, strong technical communication skills, and a demonstrated ability to lead projects in a fast-paced environment.
- Familiarity with grid codes, utility interconnection standards (e.g., IEEE 1547, UL 9540), and power system dynamics.
- Willingness to travel up to 20%
- Comfortable working with global teams, including flexibility across time zones
- Proactively identifies and removes organizational obstacles, enabling the team to execute with speed and clarity

Tips for Your Remote Senior Simulation Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote senior simulation engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your stack and apply directly. Remote postings at senior levels fill faster than on-site equivalents, so applying within the first few days matters.
Build a documented simulation portfolio
Remote hiring managers cannot watch you work, so your portfolio substitutes for in-person observation. Publish model repositories, test reports, or case studies that show your methodology, the tools you used (MATLAB, Simulink, Python, CAE platforms), and the measurable outcomes your work produced.
Signal async communication fluency in your materials
Remote senior simulation engineers must communicate complex technical decisions through written channels. Add a technical writing sample, a sample design review document, or a detailed commit history to your application to show you can transfer knowledge clearly without synchronous meetings.
Target remote-first aerospace and defense contractors
Defense and aerospace primes with distributed engineering programs hire senior simulation engineers remotely for digital twin, HIL, and model-based design work. Focus outreach on companies with established remote engineering practices rather than firms experimenting with remote for the first time.
Remote Senior Simulation Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote senior simulation engineer job?
Remote senior simulation engineer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate deep technical ownership and strong asynchronous communication without in-person oversight. Companies hiring remotely prioritize proficiency in tools like MATLAB, Simulink, Python, or CAE platforms, alongside a documented portfolio of simulation projects with clear outcomes. Written documentation skills, the ability to self-direct across time zones, and experience shipping simulation work independently give candidates a concrete edge over equally credentialed applicants.
Which companies hire remote senior simulation engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote senior simulation engineers include NVIDIA, AeroVect, and GE Vernova, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first engineering firms, distributed aerospace and defense contractors, and technology companies building autonomous systems or digital twin platforms across distributed teams.
Can you get a remote senior simulation engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level simulation engineering roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal hand-holding. Candidates without formal experience can demonstrate readiness through open-source simulation projects, published model repositories, or freelance engineering work. Remote-first startups in robotics and autonomous systems are more open to strong portfolios over linear experience, especially when candidates show clear written technical communication skills.
Do you need a degree for remote senior simulation engineer jobs?
Usually, but a degree in mechanical, aerospace, electrical, or systems engineering is a baseline expectation rather than a guarantee of consideration. Remote employers weigh demonstrated simulation expertise, proficiency in industry-standard platforms, and a portfolio of real delivered work heavily alongside formal credentials. Candidates without a traditional four-year degree who can show measurable results in modeling, testing, or digital twin development are competitive at many remote-first companies.
