Lead Gas Turbine Performance and Controls Engineer at GE Vernova

Job Description SummaryThe 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 DescriptionRoles and ResponsibilitiesOwn 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 QualificationsThis 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 CharacteristicsExpert-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.GE Vernova offers a great work environment professional development challenging careers and competitive compensation.
