Operability Monitoring Engineer
About The Position
The engineer in this role will serve as a Lead Operability Monitoring Engineer on the Electrical, Controls, and Operability (EC&O) Monitoring Team. The engineer in this role will execute proactive operability monitoring and diagnostic assessments across the fleet, with focus on detecting performance-limiting behavior and system interactions early and converting data into clear, actionable recommendations. The engineer in this role will support the team mission to detect, diagnose, and communicate abnormal electrical, controls, and system-level behavior before issues become outages, repeat events, or sustained performance losses.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline.
- Relevant experience in wind turbine performance, operations engineering, reliability, or fleet diagnostics.
- Strong understanding of wind turbine operating behavior, performance drivers, and system interactions.
- Demonstrated experience diagnosing fleet performance and operability issues from time-series and event data.
- Experience using SCADA trends, event logs and performance data to support technical analysis and decision making.
- Strong analytical and communication skills, with ability to influence cross-functional action.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in fleet performance engineering, availability improvement, or condition monitoring functions.
- Experience combining controls, electrical, and operational context in system-level diagnostics.
- Hands-on analytics capability with Python, SQL, or equivalent tools.
- Familiarity with reliability and root cause processes in wind operations.
- Experience building fleet dashboards, triage workflows, and issue prioritization frameworks.
Responsibilities
- Execute proactive monitoring of turbine operability using SCADA trends, events, alarms, wind/operating context, and fleet performance data.
- Develop and improve operability indicators, thresholds, and detection logic for assigned performance and availability risk modes.
- Perform deep diagnostic assessments for abnormal operating patterns, intermittent behavior, and system interactions that limit productivity or reliability.
- Distinguish actionable operability risk from expected operational variation and non-critical anomalies.
- Translate diagnostic findings into practical recommendations, including troubleshooting direction and performance improvement priorities.
- Partner with more senior members on the team to align diagnostic priorities, escalation decisions, and action recommendations.
- Support standardization of operability monitoring documentation, issue classification, and technical communication quality.
- Build technical depth in operability monitoring by applying feedback, sharing lessons learned, and supporting continuous improvement of team methods.
