What are the responsibilities and job description for the Field Service Engineer position at Omega Technical Services LLC?
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
