Job Description

The Monitoring and Diagnostics (M&D) Center in Gas Power manages the world’s largest power generation monitoring facility, overseeing 900+ power plants and 3,000+ assets.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Domain Ownership: Serve as the global Subject Matter Expert (SME) for combustion system operability, including DLN (Dry Low NOx) tuning, flame dynamics, combustion hardware health, and trip logic. Own the diagnostic logic for complex failure modes (e.g., combustion instability, flame-out, ignition failure, and fuel system anomalies) and drive fleet-wide Root Cause Analyses (RCAs).
High-Consequence Customer Advisory: Influence multi-million dollar operational decisions by providing data-backed recommendations that balance environmental compliance, hardware integrity, and commercial uptime. Act as the lead advisor for urgent forced-outage/trip events, providing forensic guidance to minimize restart delays and prevent re-trips.
Tier 2 Technical Governance: Provide second-tier escalation support for Frontline M&D teams. Mentor engineers on advanced trip log interpretation, transient data evaluation, and combustion-system signal analysis, ensuring diagnostic consistency and rapid response across the fleet.
Analytic Strategy & Development: Lead the "domain-to-data" translation for new combustion diagnostic algorithms. Collaborate with Data Scientists to define feature engineering requirements for flame monitoring and pressure pulsation analysis, validate model performance, and refine detection sensitivity to minimize nuisance alarms.
Lean Operational Excellence: Apply Lean methodologies to the M&D workflow, identifying bottlenecks in the "post-trip" troubleshooting process and streamlining the transition from data ingestion to corrective action plans.
Cross-Functional RCA Leadership: Drive technical investigations alongside Product Services and Design Engineering. Use forensic analysis of trip data and combustion trends to influence fuel system design, tuning strategies, and reliability service bulletins.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Chemical Engineering (or equivalent).
Minimum 10+ years of technical experience, with a heavy focus on gas turbine combustion systems, fuel delivery, and operational troubleshooting.
Demonstrated experience in performing RCAs on combustion-related events and interfacing with customer site personnel during critical outage or trip-recovery events.
Advanced proficiency in analyzing high-speed data, PLC trip logs, MarkVie Controller and combustion monitoring platforms.
Proven ability to present technical risk assessments and post-trip analysis reports to external customers and internal leadership.
Advanced Analytics Intuition: Ability to bridge the gap between complex combustion physics/thermodynamics and digital signal representation.
Systems Engineering Mindset: Holistic understanding of how combustion settings impact turbine performance, exhaust emissions, and hardware component lifespan.
Global Collaboration: Comfortable working in a matrixed, global environment; proven ability to influence stakeholders without direct reporting authority.
Continuous Improvement: A "Lean" mindset—constantly seeking ways to reduce waste in troubleshooting workflows and improve diagnostic fidelity.
