Summary:

• We are seeking an experienced Power Systems Engineer specializing in power system modeling, simulation, and analysis for utility, industrial, renewable energy, microgrid, and data center applications.
• This role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership. The engineer will support the design, validation, and deployment of advanced electrification solutions while collaborating with regional and global engineering teams, customers, and third-party consultants.
• Key project areas include renewable energy integration, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), microgrids, data center power systems, grid modernization, industrial power systems, and advanced power electronics.

Skills/Experience Needed:

• 6+ years of industry experience performing power system studies and simulations.
• Experience modeling grid-forming and grid-following inverters.
• Understanding of converter controls and protection systems.
• Experience with data center electrical infrastructure.
• Familiarity with AI and hyperscale data center electrical architectures.
• Experience with medium-voltage distribution systems and backup generation.
• Experience with tools such as PSLF, EMTP-RV, CYME, EasyPower, PSCAD, ETAP, PSS/E, or MATLAB/Simulink.

Responsibilities:

Power System Studies

Conduct and lead electrical system analyses, including:

• Load flow and voltage profile studies
• Reactive power capability, compensation, and power factor studies
• Short-circuit and protection coordination studies
• Combined Short-Circuit Ratio (CSCR) analysis
• Harmonic, transient stability, and dynamic stability studies
• Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) and switching transient studies
• Insulation coordination and transient overvoltage analysis
• Ride-through performance evaluations
• Arc-flash hazard assessments
• Cable ampacity and sizing studies
• Grounding system design and analysis

Microgrid and Grid Integration

• Develop and validate system-level models for complex microgrids.
• Evaluate grid-connected, islanded, black-start, and transition operating conditions.
• Support the integration of renewable generation, battery storage, reciprocating engines, gas turbines, and inverter-based resources.
• Perform utility and ISO/RTO interconnection studies.
• Support compliance with applicable grid codes and standards.

Technical Leadership

• Serve as a power systems subject-matter expert for customer projects and internal engineering teams.
• Review study assumptions, methodologies, models, and deliverables.
• Provide technical oversight to third-party consultants.
• Support proposal development, customer presentations, and technical consulting.
• Collaborate with global engineering teams to apply technical expertise and best practices.
