Field Service Engineer

Key Experience & Skills

- Gas Turbine Fundamentals

- Deep understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, compressor/turbine maps, fuel systems, burner dynamics, and emissions tradeoffs (NOₓ, CO, etc.).

- Hands-on experience in loop calibration, instrumentation (temperature, pressure, flow, vibration), and sensors typical for LM turbines.

- Combustion System & DLE Mapping

- Experience with Dry Low Emissions (DLE) or low-emissions burners: staging, purge strategies, flame boundary margins, incipient blowout, CO/NOx mapping.

- Familiarity with both gas-only and dual-fuel configurations, if applicable.

- Control Logic & Tuning

- Strong expertise in turbine control systems (fuel metering valves, actuator response, scheduling logic, gain tuning, biasing).

- Understanding of how mapping boundaries are determined and enforced in control logic (e.g. map surfaces, control schedule transitions, limiters, alarms).

- Experience in tuning, validation, and verification in real plant conditions or using simulation tools.

- Diagnostics & Performance Analysis

- Ability to analyze trends, logs, and alarms to detect combustion instability, emissions excursions, or drift.

- Familiarity with performance modeling and benchmarking tools (e.g. OEM performance packages).

- Interfacing with OEM Control Systems

- Knowledge of specific turbine control platforms (e.g. Woodward, GE Speedtronic, Micronet, etc.).

- Proficiency with the vendor’s software, HMI/SCADA environment, control logic blocks, and diagnostic tools.

- Field Experience

- Hands-on experience in commissioning, start-up tuning, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site performance testing, and cold/hot testing.

Ability to work under safety, operational, and mechanical constraints during tuning campaigns.

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Control Systems, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering

- 5+ years experience in gas turbine control or combustion tuning on aero or heavy-duty units

- Completion of OEM/vendor-specific control & combustion training (LM2500 familiarization, DLE mapping, Micronet control)

- Evidence of past tuning or performance improvement projects (emissions reduction, stability optimization, map boundary expansion)

- Demonstrated ability to work in commissioning/start-up environments under operational constraints
