Lead Gas Turbine Performance and Operability Engineer - DLE Specialist

Overview

Lead gas turbine controls & performance engineer driving model‑based DLE control strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• control architecture
• technical roadmap
• data collection
• simulation modeling
• cross-functional execution
• robust control

Tasks

-Architect the control logic and produce the definitive concept and requirements package to guide Controls implementation. -Identify and manage effectors and constraints (e.g., emissions/NOx, combustion dynamics, stability), expanding degrees of freedom where appropriate. -Own the Technical Strategy: Define and own the technical roadmap for the next-generation DLE control scheme; set milestones and validation gates aligned to a multi-year investment plan. -Validation & Data Driven: Plan and execute data collection in Test Stand and field; use data to calibrate models, refine strategies, and quantify benefit. -Lead model development of simulations model (NPSS, Cantera, Python, Simulink) that capture physics of performance, operability, and emissions. -Drive cross-functional execution with Performance, Controls, Systems, Test, and Field teams to validate the strategy through simulation and testing. -Increase the robustness of the control by integrate improved inputs and observability (e.g., Coriolis fuel metering, airflow characterization).
