Job Description Summary

This is an exciting new role within the System Technology and Adaptive Intelligence (STAI) team in Gas Power Engineering (GPE), who’s organizational vision is to create “An artificial-intelligence-enhanced electric power & CO2 focused innovation team that supports and incubates new ventures and ideas through diligent engineering to provide cleaner, more flexible power to the world,” and we are looking for dynamic systems design engineers to help us achieve this vision, focusing on our team that brings Gas Power products from conceptual design to new product introduction.

The person in the Lead Engineer - Advanced Plant Systems Design role will create, design and analyze the next generation of competitive Gas Power products working closely with Product Management to define competitive product requirements, design product concepts and transition the results into New Product Introduction (NPI) programs. The Advanced Plant Systems Design team will be responsible for advanced plant level systems pre-NPI conceptual design including gas turbine and accessories, steam turbine, HRSG, generator and traditional plant systems. The team will work closely with subject matter experts across the engineering organization to develop and deploy advanced system modeling to relentlessly build new product cost and performance modeling capabilities to deliver high quality product concept assessments. This role requires access to US Export Controlled information.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities
