Job description

Join our innovative team as a Combustion Engineer and immerse yourself in the world of cutting-edge combustion technology. As a Combustion Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the performance, reliability, and environmental compliance of our gas turbine combustion systems. Your work will span the full product lifecycle, from supporting new technology development to resolving operational challenges across our global fleet.

A typical day may include planning and conducting combustion tests, analysing test and field data, evaluating emission performance, and collaborating with experts in design, controls, service, and product support. You will investigate combustion-related issues, identify root causes, and help implement solutions that improve reliability, fuel flexibility, and operational performance.

Working at the forefront of combustion technology, you will contribute to the ongoing transition toward lower-emission power generation, including the integration of hydrogen and other sustainable fuels. The role offers a combination of hands‑on engineering, technical problem‑solving, and cross‑functional collaboration, providing opportunities to make a tangible impact on both current products and future technologies.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Plan and execute combustion testing, analyse test and operational data, and troubleshoot field issues to improve performance, emissions, reliability, and fuel flexibility across both new developments and the existing fleet.
• Support the development, validation, and optimization of combustion technologies for current and future products.
• Collaborate with colleagues across Design, Controls, Performance, Service, and Product Support to deliver effective technical solutions.
• Communicate technical findings and recommendations clearly to customers and internal stakeholders.
• Help advance technologies that enable lower emissions, increased fuel flexibility, and a more sustainable energy future.

Additional Information

This role includes supporting our global product fleet as part of the normal day‑to‑day work. After onboarding and gaining experience, you will also take part in an occasional planned support rotation. The rotation occurs infrequently, typically less than once per month, and may involve daytime support during weekends.

What You Bring

• Experience in hot gas turbine commissioning or emission tuning, or an academic background with a degree in experimental combustion, fluid dynamics, or chemical engineering.
• Preferably proven experience in combustion engineering and a deep understanding of combustion principles and technologies.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Proficiency in English; Swedish is a plus.
