Establish Rigorous Testing Standards & Protocols: Develop comprehensive procedures, calculation tools, and pretest readiness protocols that ensure data quality suitable for advanced cycle model validation.
Lead Technical Test Preparation & Execution: Drive quality improvements into the test procedure, instrumentation plans, and pretest readiness process in commissioning to ensure data quality improves for cycle models, unit variation decreases, and execution quality is high.
Serve as lead for field testing, performing real-time data quality assessment and troubleshooting performance issues using both field diagnostics and cycle model analysis.
Work with the cycle modeling team to ensure field data packages support NPSS steady-state and transient model validation.
Execute data reduction and preliminary model matching in the field, applying gas turbine thermodynamic principles to interpret performance deviations and guide data collection strategies.
Mentor and Develop Team Capabilities: Take primary responsibility for developing junior engineers in both field procedures and underlying physics, teaching the connection between rigorous field data collection and accurate cycle modeling.
Serve as technical point of contact for third-party vendors, analyze past test results to identify improvements, and drive consistency in data collection and validation across all field operations.
