Role Overview

The Gas Turbine Fluid Systems Engineer III is responsible for the design, analysis, and lifecycle support of gas turbine auxiliary systems for Mitsubishi and non-OEM units, including gas, oil, air, hydrogen, steam, and water systems. This intermediate-level engineering role supports existing fielded systems, develops modifications to resolve operational issues, and designs new systems for blended hydrogen fuels, emissions control, alternate fuels, power augmentation, and turndown applications. The position combines process, piping, equipment, controls, commissioning, and project engineering responsibilities across the full project lifecycle while contributing to safe, repeatable fluid system improvements that support the transition to a net-zero carbon future.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the design and development of auxiliary systems for gas turbines in accordance with established standard operating procedures.
• Perform feasibility, front-end engineering design, and detailed engineering studies.
• Specify vendor requirements for pumps, valves, compressors, heat exchangers, skids, instrumentation, pipe supports, and related components while ensuring compliance with codes, contracts, and internal standards.
• Prepare process engineering calculations and supporting technical documentation.
• Analyze flow networks using AFT Arrow and AFT Fathom.
• Develop and interpret Process Flow Diagrams and P&IDs using SmartPlant P&ID.
• Prepare piping engineering calculations and documentation.
• Use 3D piping design tools such as PDS, PDMS, SmartPlant 3D, or Creo Piping to develop system layouts and routing.
• Use 3D laser scan data to support new designs and avoid clashes.
• Perform or review pipe stress analysis using CAESAR II and/or AutoPIPE.
• Analyze and select pipe supports and apply piping materials and class requirements.
• Prepare plot plans, piping arrangements, isometrics, construction drawings, and spool drawings for field and shop fabrication.
• Support Hazard and Operability Studies.
• Interpret ASME B31.1, B31.3, and B31.12 requirements and ensure piping code requirements are incorporated into designs and vendor specifications.
• Prepare Bills of Materials, installation documentation, operator manuals, and training materials.
• Provide site support for operator training, commissioning, startup, and troubleshooting.
• Standardize auxiliary system designs for efficient deployment across customers and projects.
• Support ISO 9001 audits, compliance activities, documentation improvements, and configuration control methods.
• Lead or support root cause analysis and diagnostic activities for auxiliary systems experiencing field issues during service operation.
• Use product lifecycle and requirements management tools, including Windchill.
• Support EPC project execution and contract requirements.
• Comply with safety policies, protect confidential information, and maintain the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
• Travel domestically and internationally 10% to 20%, including occasional trips lasting two or more weeks.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• Master's degree preferred or bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering from an accredited college or university.
• A minimum of six (6) years of engineering design experience required; a minimum of twelve (12) years of directly related experience may substitute for the degree requirement.
• Relevant graduate coursework and project experience may be considered toward the experience requirement.
• Knowledge of gas turbine engineering, including turbine configuration, design, boundary conditions, temperatures, and materials.
• Experience with process engineering, piping design, equipment specification, controls integration, commissioning, and project execution.
• Knowledge of product lifecycle management and requirements management systems.
• Demonstrated leadership skills in short-term critical-path development programs.
• Ability to manage workload, priorities, and technical decisions while coordinating with appropriate team members.
• Ability to read and interpret industry reports, technical journals, specifications, and engineering documentation.
• Ability to prepare technical reports and customer correspondence and present information to individuals and groups.
• Ability to perform engineering calculations and make sound technical judgments based on specifications and requirements.
• Advanced computer skills involving piping route, stress, and flow analysis, spreadsheets, ERP systems, electronic mail, word processing, and presentation software.
• United States citizenship or permanent legal residency required to fulfill the job function.

Why Should You Apply?

• Excellent Benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision & 401K Matching).
• Excellent development programs and advancement opportunities.
• Tuition reimbursement and on-the-job training.
• Paid vacation, sick time, and holidays.
• Committed to quality products and services.
• Great working environment and culture.
• Employee Appreciation Programs and Event.
