Apart from throwing geth turret and chain overload, i need perfect weapon setup to take down medium and large target without compromising recharging load. 

Any suggestion?

I use the GPSMG, fast reload and nice when you spam overload.

Personal preference is carnifex or paladin along with geth smg as backup. A high level gps is also very good especially with the power recharge and rate of fire improvements provided by hunter mode. Another popular choice is the falcon along with disruptor ammo for setting off tech bursts - not recommended if you have a laggy connection though.

carnifex X. one of best caster class weapons. low weight for fast cool downs, and high damage for the shots you take while on cool down.

revenant synergizes extremely well with hunter mode...

Still haven't tested in gold, but I faceroll on silver with my Scorpion. Throwing my Healing turret around and jumping with activated hunter mode into the fun. I think if I play less aggressive I could be a pretty good supporter in Gold, spamming Overload and Blue Balls of Destruction. At first I planned my build for Falcon but Scorpion makes more fun with increased rate of fire.

Depends on how you want to play it. If you want to spam Tech Bursts with Disruptor Ammo and Chain Overload a fast spray weapon like the Geth Pulse Rifle, Geth Plasma SMG or even the Tempest work well. Crowd Control weapons like the Falcon, Scorpion or Striker can also be used in the same fashion. If you prefer to single out one target at a time with your weapon the Geth Plasma Shotgun, Carnifex, Paladin or Manits X with Extended Barrel and Armor Piercing all do well.

Assuming you want to use a geth weapon for the racial bonuses then I think its the GPS...the geth rifle and smg just dont have the firepower for gold.
The GE has no incinerate or warp to deal with armour so their weapon is all they have,taking a light weight smg or rifle is nerfing yourself pretty hard on this class.
Im not saying the Geth rifle and SMG dont work on gold just that they arent that great.

vindicator with armor piercing and stability, or a talon with clip capacity and armor piercing, or a carnifex with armor piercing and barrel.

if i wanna switch it up, i'll sacrifice cooldowns a touch (since hunter mode gives a slight cooldown bonus) i might slap on my valiant (i guess viper and mantis could conceivably both work).

edit: now that i think about it, pretty much any weapon that keeps your cooldown at a reasonable level will work. hunter mode and the geth turret makes for a very versatile character.

I don't really play the class myself, but the best geth engineers I have seen have all been using the GPS.

Anything with a low weight is fine. You should equip the GPSMG no matter what you choose though, since ULM actually work with it and it's therefore almost a free weapon (X adds 2-3% cooldown) that does decent damage in a Geth's hands. It's also killer fun with disruptor ammo.

I've tried a bunch, and my favorites are:

1. Raptor
2. Mattock
3. GPS

I'm on a PC though, so can take advantage of the uber fire rate of the first two guns. I usually place higher with the GPS, but it's not as good at running and gunning (so less survivability). Plus, I refuse to use the GPS on anything but my GI because it gets really boring if you use it too much.

Runner ups are Hurricane and Carnifex. I don't like the kick back of the Hurricane, but if I have a stability mod 3 on me, I'll switch out to it sometimes to mix it up. The Carnifex is a really great choice too, but like the GPS, I'm kind of sick of it, so I avoid it when I can.

Geth Engineer and Drell Adept are my goto classes for Gold.

I like to use my geth plasma shotgun (i have it on mk.10) on my Gengeneer. Use hunter vision to look through walls, charge it (the weapon that is...) if something is headed your way, overload and blast it to bits!

This.  Throw on Choke and the Barrel and remember to charge your GPS.  I wouldn't even bother with Hunter mode (unless you want to snipe) on this character as you can't really cloak, you become squishier than an Asari when you should be supporting (ie. staying alive).   Also, health regen on turret is great.

Avenger X with extended magazine and penetrator mod and GPSMG with Ultralight mats and extended magazine.  if your GPR is high enough (5 or higher should be ok), switch it in for the Anvenger and change the mods to penetrator and extended barrel.

take ammunition powers as well - i tend to stick with multi-role ammunition like Incendiary or Warp for unknowns, if you are picking a single enemy type, go with their weakness - Disruptor for Geth, Disruptor or Warp for Cerb, Incendiary for Reapers.  the rail amplifiers are also useful - i tend to stick with the assault rifle rail amp because that's my primary weapon.

I run with Geth Plasman Shotgun X with Barrel V and Ammo V (I didn't find the choke to help at all on this gun? Not sure if it's affected by accuracy buffs at all because of the way it works, regardless the ammo is nice, shredder doesn't work, and I don't melee on Gengineer, so it's the only choice assuming choke doesn't help which is seems not to in my experience)

Cooldown bonus from Hunter mode level 4 in addition to Networked AI level 4 give a very reasonable cooldown for overload. I play this class extensively on Gold and have no problems finishing first nearly every game because OL + Charged Shots + Hunter Mode Hax = everything but boss enemies melt (you can use abilities with the GPS charged and NOT lose the charge, allowing you to fire after overloading something or tossing a turrent which is awesome).

Geth plasma shotgun, nothing else comes close really.

Falcon is good too but terrible against large targets.

Geth SMG our Eagle. Consisting you have Hunter mode specced for weapons.

I wanted to say this is my post but feared being attacked by people who felt other guns were better :/

I second the above feelings.

You do not need Overload to be THAT fast (reason for choosing say, Carnifex X), and the GPS kills everything better than any other gun on GE really. Plus, you don't even have to be good at aiming so it's easy relaxing mode! 

That being said, there is obviously nothing wrong with using something like the Carnifex X seeing as it's basically the best light gun in the entire game (possibly the best gun period? lol), but why would you want to use a gun you have to aim and fire multiple shots (and go for headshots) when you can shoot HOMING PLASMA ROUNDS that destroy everything!?

Has anybody really used the falcon with great results? Just curious to know I was thinking of running my Engineer since my Falcon has become higher leveled over alot of my other rares.

Really? You know every time you use overload your ROF windup gets reset? The Geth SMG is probably the worst weapon to use when spamming powers.

I would take the Claymore or GPS depening on wether you plan on speccing Hunter mode or not.

Since their massively-damaging Overloads have shields and barriers disappearing faster than kids in Casey Anthony's custody, you want a gun that eats through Armor and health. A Mattock is awesome for that. So is a Carnifax, Raptor, etc. The Indra might even be nice depending on its weight.
