Job Description Summary

Test and Validation has the hardware (camera, tripods, auxiliaries) to apply the Motion Amplification technology, which is a new technology for vibration measurement in rotational machines, such as a Wind Turbine drive train. The purpose of this request is to understand how the hardware works and, together with design engineers, propose a real case in which that technology could be applied providing benefits with respect to traditional vibration measurement systems (accelerometers)

Job Description

Application of the Motion Amplification technology in the validation of a Wind Turbine

Test and Validation has the hardware (camera, tripods, auxiliaries) to apply the Motion Amplification technology, which is a new technology for vibration measurement in rotational machines, such as a Wind Turbine drive train. The purpose of this request is to understand how the hardware works and, together with design engineers, propose a real case in which that technology could be applied providing benefits with respect to traditional vibration measurement systems (accelerometers)
 

Roles and responsibilities:

• Apply Motion Amplification technology to visualize and analyze wind turbine components.
• Set up and calibrate Motion Amplification equipment for optimal performance. The equipment will be ready at the office for this purpose
• Capture high-speed video data using Motion Amplification technology.
• Develop and refine test protocols incorporating Motion Amplification techniques.
• Collaborate with engineers, technicians, and other departments to ensure alignment on validation goals.
• Communicate results to stakeholders through presentations and meetings.
• Keep abreast of changes in standards and best practices related to wind turbine validation and Motion Amplification technology.

Qualifications/Requirements

• Fluent in English with working efficiency
• Skills in data analysis software (e.g., MATLAB, Python, FAMOS)
• Knowledge in DAQ (measurement instrumentation, data recorders, etc.)
• Good command of MS Office
• Fluent in calculation tools such as Matlab, Python or Famos
• Active University student status
• Preference start date: February 2026 (but no later than April 2026)
• Work style: full time in presence work at the Barcelona office is required
• If contracted in Spain:
  Non-national candidates are responsible to know the minimum documentation requirements to be able to be contracted in country: NIE- Social Security Affiliation Number in Spain (NAF) and Bank Account in Spain. They must be in possession of them at the time of start hiring. GE will not sponsor this requirement.

Desired Characteristics

• Strong verbal and written communication skills (English is mandatory, Spanish is a surplus)
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, technicians, and other departments
• Logical thinking

Outcomes - Intern will gain:

• Experience on Wind Turbine technology and Motion Amplification
• Knowledge on Data Acquisition Systems
• Basic knowledge of design validation
