  • Assist in analyzing remote monitoring data to evaluate performance, availability, and reliability and identify improvement opportunities.
  • Perform basic diagnostic analysis of operational data to support identification of performance losses.
  • Support detailed compressor and turbine performance analysis under guidance of senior engineers.
  • Assist in development of thermal performance testing procedures aligned with ASME or ISO standards.
  • Participate in field performance testing, including data collection, validation, and reporting.
  • Support combustion system and fuel utilization studies, including emissions analysis and troubleshooting activities.
  • Assist in fluid system design and analysis including P&ID interpretation, component selection, and system evaluation.
  • Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support engineering and operational objectives.

Requirements
  • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with emphasis on thermal fluids from an accredited institution.
  • 0-3 years of experience in gas turbine engineering, performance analysis, or related field (including internships or co-ops).
  • Basic understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and gas turbine performance principles.
  • Exposure to data analysis, engineering calculations, and technical problem solving.
  • Familiarity with engineering software, modeling tools, or programming languages is a plus.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Ability to learn quickly and work collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools.
  • Ability to travel up to 20% as required.
