Job Description Summary

Are you a visionary engineer who thrives at the intersection of mechanical precision, electronic complexity, and automated intelligence? GE Vernova is looking for a Lead Mechatronic Engineer to define the future of our manufacturing test architecture.

If you are passionate about building robust, scalable, and safe test platforms that power global manufacturing excellence, we want to hear from you.


Job Description

As our Lead Mechatronic Engineer, you won’t just be solving problems—you’ll be architecting solutions. You will lead the technical strategy for advanced manufacturing test platforms, ensuring seamless integration between mechanical fixtures, electronic instrumentation, and sophisticated control systems.

You’ll act as the technical anchor for our team, mentoring junior engineers and ensuring that every system we deploy meets the highest standards of safety, scalability, and performance.


Your Impact

  • Architect Success: Design integrated test platforms that synchronize high-precision mechanical motion with state-of-the-art industrial controls.
  • Master the Protocol: Oversee communication architectures (EtherCAT, PROFINET, Modbus TCP/IP) to ensure lightning-fast, reliable data exchange.
  • Innovate & Automate: Drive Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacture (DFM) initiatives, using your expertise in CAD and software (LabVIEW/Embedded C++) to push boundaries.
  • Champion Safety: Embed "Safety by Design" into every project, ensuring full compliance with CE/UKCA, PUWER, and environmental standards (REACH, RoHS).
  • Lead & Mentor: Coordinate with global vendors and cross-functional teams, serving as a technical mentor to help our junior engineers reach their full potential.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
