A Snapshot of Your Day
As a Performance Engineer within the Siemens Energy Performance Group in Lincoln, you will help assess, predict and improve the performance of Small Gas Turbine products. Your work will support production pass-off testing, development testing, site performance predictions and the ongoing enhancement of performance analysis tools.
You will work within a specialist engineering team that provides performance and thermodynamic expertise to Sales, Manufacturing, Engineering and Customer Support. Day to day, you may be validating engine test results, refining performance models, analysing large datasets, supporting R&D validation tests or contributing technical input to customer bids and proposals.
This role is well suited to someone with a strong background in mathematics, physics, thermodynamics, programming or data analysis who wants to develop specialist expertise in gas turbine performance. Gas turbine experience is not essential, as training will be provided, but an interest in turbomachinery, modelling and engineering analysis would be highly beneficial.
How You’ll Make an Impact
- Assess engine performance and validate results from production pass-off tests, development tests and site testing activities.
- Predict installed site performance for Siemens Energy Small Gas Turbine products and support performance input into sales proposals and customer bids.
- Carry out thermodynamic and performance calculations, refine engine models and support R&D validation testing.
- Analyse large technical datasets and apply statistical methods to monitor production engine performance and investigate trends or anomalies.
- Support the development, automation and enhancement of performance assessment tools, prediction methods and supporting software.
- Work with Manufacturing, Engineering, Sales, Customer Support and R&D teams to communicate performance findings clearly and support technical decision-making.
What You Bring
- Masters-level qualification or above in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Mathematics, Software Engineering or a related discipline, ideally at 2:1 level or above, or equivalent relevant industrial experience.
- Strong background in mathematics, physics, numerical analysis and statistical investigation, with proven experience analysing large datasets.
- Ability to carry out basic thermodynamic calculations, with an understanding of gas turbine simple cycle operation preferred.
- Experience with engineering software, modelling tools or programming, ideally including one or more of VBA, MATLAB, C#, FORTRAN or Visual Basic.
- Experience or interest in prediction modelling, process automation, performance testing, instrumentation limitations or engine performance pass-off activities.
- Strong communication, report writing, presentation and organisational skills, with the ability to work independently or as part of a project team under deadline pressure.
