Description

  • Lead the power system modeling and simulation function for the Operational Technologies team.
  • Build, manage, and maintain plant models for PV, BESS, wind, and hybrid plants using tools such as PSS®E, PSLF, PSCAD, RTDS, and RT-LAB.
  • Develop and validate control models for plant power controllers, energy management systems, BESS controls, inverter-based resources, and microgrid controllers.
  • Design and simulate microgrid control strategies, including dispatch logic, mode transitions, load sharing, spinning reserve management, black start, and interconnection coordination.
  • Perform dynamic, transient, EMT, load flow, stability, and short-circuit studies for renewable plants, storage systems, and microgrids.
  • Support hardware-in-the-loop and controller-in-the-loop testing for protection, plant control, EMS, and microgrid control systems.
  • Develop technical documentation, testing procedures, validation methods, and study reports for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Represent the Operational Technologies group on power systems, controls, and microgrid performance matters.
  • Support leadership in responding to DOE/SETO FOAs and other power systems research initiatives and proposals.
  • Lead continuous improvement and lessons-learned efforts related to modeling, controls, and system performance.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree with 3–5 years of relevant experience, or a PhD in Electrical Engineering.
  • Strong expertise in power systems modeling, inverter-based resource controls, and microgrid controls is strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of renewable generation, energy storage systems, and hybrid/microgrid system architectures.
  • Experience with modeling, simulation, and testing of renewable energy resources and control systems.
  • Experience with microgrid controller design, validation, or operation, including islanding, resynchronization, dispatch optimization, and coordinated control of DERs.
  • Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing and validation using real-time digital simulators.
  • Experience with interconnection impact studies for renewable power plants and hybrid systems.
  • Experience with power quality studies, including voltage/current unbalance, flicker, voltage sag, and harmonics.
  • Experience with fault analysis, transient overvoltage studies, black start studies, transformer saturation and inrush, load flow and dynamic studies, short-circuit analysis, and subsynchronous control interaction (SSCI).
  • Ability to communicate effectively with team members, customers, research partners, and business stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives and work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.
  • Must have authorization to work in the United States.
  • Travel up to 10%.
  • Experience with microgrid applications for data centers, remote power systems, military installations, or utility resiliency projects is preferred.
  • Familiarity with grid-forming inverters, DERMS/EMS, generator controls, and plant-level SCADA integration is preferred.
  • Experience with controller validation using HIL/CIL platforms such as OPAL-RT, RTDS, or Typhoon HIL is preferred.
  • Knowledge of NERC, WECC, IEEE, and utility interconnection requirements for inverter-based resources and microgrids is preferred.

Benefits

  • Base salary of $80,000–$110,000.
  • Generous time off and holiday policy.
  • Remote flexibility.
  • Flexible time off.
  • Comprehensive benefits package.
