Senior Software Development Engineer Visa Sponsorship Jobs in Florida

INTRODUCTION

We are building the foundation for next-generation decentralized grid operations—distributing intelligence to the resilient edge to enable autonomous, self-healing, and adaptive grid management.

As a Senior Software Engineer & Scientist (Virtual Sensing), you will develop edge-native software, advanced virtual sensing algorithms, and intelligent control systems that bridge physics, AI, and distributed computing. This is a high-impact, hands-on role in a startup-style, fast-moving environment within GE Vernova’s CTO organization. You will report directly to the Electrification Chief Architect and collaborate across simulation, real-time edge deployments, and field validation to transform how the grid senses and responds.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Edge Engineering & Data Pipelines

• Build and deploy edge-native software components for decentralized operation, sensing, and control.
• Develop federated data pipelines that allow distributed nodes to collaborate securely without central coordination.
• Integrate field data sources (SCADA, PMUs, DER controllers) and industrial IoT protocols (LoRa, MQTT, DNP3, Modbus).

Virtual Sensing & Control

• Develop and deploy robust virtual sensing algorithms to infer critical power grid parameters (e.g., voltage stability, phase angles, line temperature, asset health) from limited edge sensor data.
• Deploy adaptive edge intelligence and control logic to enable real-time grid insights with minimal latency.
• Apply control theory and signal processing techniques (e.g., Kalman filters, state estimation) to refine virtual sensor accuracy.

Simulation & Integration

• Collaborate with power systems engineers to validate virtual sensor performance against physical models and real-world field data.
• Bridge the gap between simulation environments and live grid operations to "close the loop."
• Integrate AI/ML capabilities, federated control frameworks, and digital twins into next-generation grid platforms.

TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS

Required Skills

• Software Engineering: Proficiency in Python, Go, or Rust (backend/edge) and TypeScript/React or Angular (UI).
• Edge/Cloud Infrastructure: Deep experience with Kubernetes/K3s, Kafka/NATS, MQTT, gRPC, and Pulsar.
• Data & Observability: Hands-on experience with InfluxDB/TimescaleDB and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana).
• Domain Expertise: Proven experience with federated architectures, resilient edge software, and Transmission & Distribution (T&D) applications.
• Scientific Aptitude: Strong understanding of signal processing, control theory, and state estimation methods.
• AI/ML: Experience developing and deploying AI/ML models in production environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Education: Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 5+ years of experience.
• Simulation Tools: Familiarity with EMT platforms (PSCAD, RTDS, Opal-RT).
• Digital Twins: Experience with OpenFMB, Modelica, or graph-based modeling.
• Grid Standards: Knowledge of IEEE 2030.5, IEC 61850, or similar utility protocols.

WHY JOIN US

• Mission: Work at the forefront of the energy transition, solving the most critical challenges of the modern grid.
• Impact: Influence the architecture of decentralized, autonomous energy systems.
• Environment: Enjoy a startup-style, agile culture backed by the global reach and resources of GE Vernova.
