Description

  • Own the validation strategy and architecture for microgrid control systems.
  • Develop testing capabilities for controller behavior across normal operation, failure modes, communication delays, and equipment faults.
  • Design and evolve Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) laboratory infrastructure and simulation frameworks.
  • Evaluate and select simulation platforms, validation tools, and testing approaches.
  • Build automated test execution workflows, verification metrics, and reporting processes.
  • Define validation standards, best practices, documentation, and repeatable test methodologies.
  • Partner with engineers, utilities, and external stakeholders to define laboratory requirements, test plans, and performance criteria.
  • Validate controller performance under steady-state and abnormal operating conditions.
  • Analyze field operating data to improve simulation models and expand regression test coverage.
  • Support investigations into system performance issues and mentor junior engineers.

Requirements

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3–7+ years of experience in real-time system HIL validation, power system model verification, or a related validation discipline.
  • Experience designing, building, and operating laboratory environments used to validate electrical power systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop automated test pipelines, validation frameworks, and verification metrics for real-time or embedded systems.
  • Experience with real-time digital simulators such as RTDS, OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL, or comparable platforms.
  • Familiarity with power system modeling and simulation tools such as Simulink, Modelica, or similar technologies.
  • Experience supporting commissioning, troubleshooting, or operational validation of laboratory or utility-scale power systems.
  • Experience developing and executing validation plans for grid-forming inverter controls, microgrid controllers, or advanced power system controls.
  • Familiarity with industrial control and embedded programming environments such as C++, IEC 61131-3 Structured Text, AcSELerator QuickSet, CODESYS, Lua, Rust, or C.
  • Experience using modern software development practices, including version control, automated testing, and validation workflows.
  • Understanding of utility interconnection requirements, grid operations, and energy market participation; ERCOT experience is preferred.
  • Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams and external stakeholders.
  • A systems-thinking mindset, strong technical judgment, and attention to detail that supports safe, reliable, and high-quality engineering outcomes.
  • Passion for mentoring others, solving complex technical challenges, and continuously improving engineering processes.

Benefits

  • Total compensation of $188,500–$205,400, including base salary and bonus.
  • Equity grant with a meaningful ownership stake in the parent company.
  • 100% premium coverage for medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents.
  • Unlimited PTO plus two company-wide breaks for the Fourth of July and end of year.
  • Up to 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, plus 6 additional weeks for birth parents.
  • Access to family planning and family care support through Carrot and Maven.
  • Free access to Spring Health, including 5 therapy and psychiatry sessions, plus a Headspace account through Wellhub+.
  • Monthly perks including a $150 food stipend, $150 for cell phone and internet reimbursement, pet insurance allowance, full home office setup, and free UrbanSitter access with $625 in quarterly company-paid credits.
