Job Description Summary
The Engineering Quality Strategic Initiatives Leader is responsible for defining, building, aligning, and deploying a
proactive, enterprise-scale design quality system across Gas Power Engineering.
This role leads the development and execution of a Zero Defect design framework, ensuring quality is built into
product and process design rather than detected downstream.
The leader will define the standard, align with GE Vernova corporate and business leadership on a common framework,
and drive global deployment across the engineering organization, with end-to-end ownership from development through
adoption, governance, and sustainment.
