Job Summary

Job Description Summary

The Aeroderivative Performance & Operability Engineering team operates at the intersection of engineering commercial and digital domains covering project execution and model development for thermodynamic performance emissions fuel flexibility and controls. We are launching a multi-year program to modernize the control philosophy for our Dry Low Emissions (DLE) aeroderivative gas turbinesshifting from field-heavy tuning to a physics- and data-informed model-based control approach.

As the Lead Gas Turbine Controls & Performance Engineer (DLE Combustion) you will own and execute the technical strategy for this transformation. Youll develop and oversee the NPSS model ecosystem (method creation validation software release steady-state and transient applications) status-match models with field data and architect the next-generation DLE control scheme. Working hands-on from concept through implementation with our Controls team youll reduce variability cut field tuning time and improve emissions and operability across the fleet. This is a systems-level role requiring collaboration across a multidisciplinary team to meet the evolving demands of the business and our customers.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • Lead model development of simulations model (NPSS Cantera Python Simulink) that capture physics of performance operability and emissions.
  • Architect the control logic and produce the definitive concept and requirements package to guide Controls implementation.
  • 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).
  • Validation & Data Driven: Plan and execute data collection in Test Stand and field; use data to calibrate models refine strategies and quantify benefit.
  • Identify and manage effectors and constraints (e.g. emissions/NOx combustion dynamics stability) expanding degrees of freedom where appropriate.

Required Qualifications

  • This role requires advanced experience in the Engineering/Technology & Performance Engineering. Knowledge level is comparable to a Bachelors degree from an accredited university or college ( or a high school diploma with relevant experience).

Eligibility Requirements

Relocation to work in a hybrid model in Greenville SC.

Desired Characteristics

  • Expert-level skills in transient thermodynamic cycle modeling with extensive hands-on experience in NPSS.
  • A deep understanding of gas turbine physics and system operability.
  • Proven experience leading technical projects or initiatives.
  • Masters or Ph.D. in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Track record delivering novel solutions to complex challenges.
  • Direct experience with DLE combustion systems and control logic development.
  • Experience in advanced control systems.
  • Exposure to test planning instrumentation and emissions measurement.
  • Familiarity with combustion dynamics/acoustics mitigation and emissions compliance.
  • Excellent communication skills to convey technical strategy to engineers and non-specialists.
