Role Overview

Controls Engineer III is responsible for the design, development, validation, and execution of control logic that meets defined control system requirements, performance criteria, and operational objectives for Mitsubishi Power projects in the Americas. The role includes contributing to design improvements and supporting effective technical solutions across projects.

Additional responsibilities include customer training and both remote and on-site technical support.

The role primarily focuses on control logic for large frame industrial gas turbines in simple cycle and/or combined cycle operation with steam turbines. Scope may expand to include other plant control systems as required.

Key Responsibilities

• Demonstrates our core competencies: Action oriented, change champion, customer-focused, developing self & others, and ownership
• Design and review control system concepts and contribute to the development and implementation of new control logic.
• Collaborate with design engineers, operations engineers, purchasers, sales & marketing, and other internal stakeholders to support project proposals and execution.
• Develop, configure, test, and troubleshoot control system logic and HMI applications, supporting system implementation and issue resolution.
• Support and execute logic verification including Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs), Site Acceptance Tests (SATs)
• Support resolution of customer comments on drawings and documentation.
• Support Field Operations in on-site installation of Mitsubishi control systems and assist in integration activities.
  • Provide start-up commissioning, operations and/or troubleshooting support for issues and determine root cause analysis and implement solutions.
  • Prepare and submit accurate reports regarding conditions, required actions and obtained results.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers
• Support continuous improvement of control strategies and logic performance
• Overnight travel (at least 10%) by land and/or air.
• Perform Classroom & OJT training of Mitsubishi Control Logic.
• Perform other such duties as may be required.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree (BS) in Engineering from four-year college or university; and at least six (6) years related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience in specific control disciplines such as advanced process control (APC), distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLC) as applicable to power plants.
• Practical understanding of power plant processes, including gas turbine and combined cycle operations, with ability to support control strategy implementation and troubleshooting.
• Experience implementing control logic for Gas Turbine, Combined Cycle, and Balance of Plant systems, including analog loops and digital controls using Function Block Diagram, with ability to troubleshoot complex control issues.
• Experience with Distributed Control Systems (DCS) platforms such as DIASYS Netmation, Ovation, DeltaV, 800xA, T3000, or equivalent PLC/DCS platforms, including independent configuration, testing, and troubleshooting of standard system functions.
• Perform logic verification and validation using simulation tools or test platforms.
• Experience participating in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), including execution of test procedures, documentation of results, and support of issue resolution.
• Ability to develop and interpret software development workflows, control narratives, SAMA diagrams, Cause & Effect matrices, software validation tests and interlock logic with limited guidance.
• Translate process and operational requirements into robust, reliable control strategies
• Contribute to standardization of logic design practices and templates.
• Working knowledge of version control and change management practices for control logic, including documentation and traceability of changes.
• Experience with HMI graphic creation tools and familiarity with High-Performance HMI concepts per ISA-101, with ability to develop standard operator displays.
• Exposure to alarm management concepts and familiarity with ISA-18.2 principles.
