Job Description Summary Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.
Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.Job DescriptionRoles and Responsibilities

Progressive retirement of operability related engineering risks as part of the different phases of a new product introduction (NPI) cycle, ensuring turbine operation displays adequate levels of closed-loop stability, availability, robustness, and compliance to market-specific requirements such as grid codes, noise, cold weather, etc.

Perform controller tuning and operability assessments, collaborate with other sub-system and cross-functional teams for delivering on new products with high quality, from conceptual design to product validation stage; Project specific assessments to support new unit sales in ITO phase or project execution in OTR phase; Fleet issue resolution and root case analysis projects.Enable the realization of system level tradeoffs (Energy production v/s Loads, etc.) via application of controls technologies/solutions, to minimize turbine cost while pushing envelope on turbine performance and availability.Adopt new controller features and algorithms developed by the Controls organization as well as the ability to tune them to meet specific wind turbine systems trade-offs.Required Qualifications

Master’s degree from an accredited university in Controls Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related disciplines with specialization in Controls.
Familiarity with aspects of controls theory such as system modelling, closed-loop design, and closed-loop analysis.
0-3 years in wind turbine or converter control tuning and optimizing.
Strong oral and written communication skills in English.
