• Basic understanding of industrial networking and communications concepts.
• Ability to work collaboratively with engineers, operations, manufacturing, and customer teams.
• Willingness and ability to travel to customer sites for commissioning, troubleshooting, and startup support.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Internship, co-op, research project, capstone project, military technical experience, or other hands-on engineering experience is highly valued.
• Exposure to controls, instrumentation, automation, rotating equipment, power systems, or industrial manufacturing environments is preferred but not required.
• Experience with technical software such as MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW, Python, or similar tools is beneficial.
• Familiarity with pumps, motors, compressors, turbines, or other rotating equipment is a plus.
• Interest in PLC programming and lab-based testing environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for learning new technologies.
• Ability to communicate clearly in technical documentation and procedures.
• Motivation to develop a long-term career in gas turbine technology and power generation.

Work Environment

The role is based in a business casual environment within a mid-size high-rise office building, with access to modern engineering tools and industrial control technologies. You will experience a small-company feel with the stability and backing of a larger organization, and you will work on mission-critical technology across the entire product lifecycle, from design through commissioning and field support. The culture emphasizes employee engagement and community, with frequent employee-centric events such as community service activities, picnics, local outings, and team-building events that include contractors. The position offers paid time off and holidays while on contract, and when hired direct, comprehensive retirement benefits and performance bonuses. You will be part of a steady, established product line in gas turbine and power generation systems that is increasingly in demand, providing an opportunity to join at the ground floor of a significant technology boom.
