• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical or Aerospace Engineering

• Must have 5+ years prior experience related to one of the following
• IGT operation including commissioning activities associated with tuning lean, premixed combustion systems or troubleshooting controls and auxiliary/support systems
• Experience working with lean, premixed combustion system designs and the tradeoffs between emissions and acoustic pulsations in real world applications
• Industrial gas turbine cycle-deck/performance testing, modeling and analysis
• GT control system design, modification and troubleshooting (GE and/or Siemens) and knowledge of detailed GT control philosophy
• Must have strong data gathering, reduction and analysis experience (PI, EXCEL, Matlab, …) and appropriate skillset to draw conclusions and report results
• Experience with Industrial GT general architecture and design a plus
• Candidate should have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage multiple tasks, priorities and deadlines.
• Ability to program in one or more scientific programming languages highly desirable
• Utilize appropriate design/analysis tools as necessary, such as performance decks, flow circuit programs, 3D modeling (ProE), scheduling (MS PROJECT and VISIO) and others.
• Advanced level of MATLAB and VBA programming skills highly desirable, JAVA and others a plus. Strong computer skills.

• Climbing -- ascending or descending ladders, stairs, scaffolding, ramps and the like, using feet and legs and/or hands and arms.
• Balancing -- maintaining body equilibrium to prevent falling and walking, standing or crouching on narrow, slippery, or erratically moving surfaces.
• Stooping/Crouching -- bending body downward and forward by bending spine at the waist.
• Kneeling -- bending legs at knee to come to a rest on knee or knees.
• Reaching -- extending hand(s) and arm(s) in any direction.
• Standing -- particularly for sustained periods of time
• Walking -- moving about on foot to accomplish tasks, particularly for long distances or moving from one work site to another.
• Pushing & Pulling
• Lifting up to 20 lbs -- raising objects from a lower to a higher position or moving objects horizontally from position-to-position.
• Grasping -- applying pressure to an object with the fingers and palm.
• Repetitive motion -- substantial movements (motions) of the wrists, hands, and/or fingers.
• The worker is required to have close visual acuity to perform an activity such as: preparing and analyzing data and figures; transcribing; viewing a computer terminal; extensive reading; visual inspection involving small defects, small parts, and/or operation of machines (including inspection); using measurement devices; and/or assembly or fabrication parts at distances close to the eyes.
• The worker is subject to both environmental conditions. Activities occur inside and outside.
• The worker is subject to noise. There is sufficient noise to cause the worker to shout in order to be heard above ambient noise level.
• The worker is subject to hazards. Includes a variety of physical conditions, such as proximity to moving mechanical parts, moving vehicles, electrical current, working on scaffolding and high places, exposure to high heat or exposure to chemicals.
• The worker is frequently in close quarters, crawl spaces, and other areas that could cause claustrophobia.
• The worker is required to function in narrow aisles or passageways.
• Requires significant travel (air & ground) with short notice.
