Software Engineer- Power Systems

Description
STABLE (Stability and Transfer Analysis for Broad Location Evaluation) is a project to automate outage coordination study processes to evaluate interregional and load pocket transfer capabilities, during scheduled outages, in anticipation of increased volume of stability assessments to approve transmission outages in response to evolving grid dynamics.

Key Objectives
Automate end-to-end outage coordination analysis workflows
Integrate data from EMS, PI, CIMSpy, and outage systems
Support steady-state (VSAT) and dynamic (TSAT) analysis
Enable dynamic creation of transfer definition scenarios and associated contingencies
Provide intuitive visualization, reporting, and modular development

Scope of Work
Core Modules (MVP)
1. Integration & Data Ingestion - Pull data from EMS, PI, CIMSpy, and CROW
2. Case Preparation - Apply outages, zoning, and create stressed base cases
3. Flexible Scenario Creation - Define transfers, contingencies, and faults
4. Study Automation - Automate VSAT/TSAT studies and batch processing
5. Analysis & Reporting - Generate reports, margins, and impact assessments
6. Visualization - Dashboards, maps, and graphical summaries
7. GUI Development - Tkinter-based interface for workflow management
8. Deployment & Validation - Automated regression testing and benchmarking

Advanced Modules
Advanced modules are exploratory and subject to prioritization based on resource availability and alignment with outage coordination objectives.
1. Case Conversions - Convert between .RAW and .PFB with HVDC fidelity
2. Realistic Dispatch - Implement security constraint-based redispatch and forward-looking load forecasts (SDX)
3. Node-Breaker Compatibility - Accommodate Node-Breaker models
4. Study Type Expansion - Expansion to allow for additional study types
5. Proxy Constraint Identification - Identify single-element mon/con constraint that aligns with limiting constraint
6. Interface Risk Identification - Identify risk metric for interfaces

Deliverables (Outage Coordination)
Modular executable-based software package
GUI tools, APIs, and scripting interfaces
Reports, dashboards, and visualizations
Documentation, test cases, and validation results
Integration support and configuration assistance

Assumptions & Dependencies
Access to internal data systems and tools will be provided (EMS, PI, CIMSpy, CROW)
MISO maintains DSATools licenses and provides SME support
Compliance with cybersecurity and data governance policies

Resources Needed
Specialized Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge in power system stability studies to guide modeling, analysis, and validation.
Application Development Expertise: Software engineering skills to build, integrate, and maintain a robust, production-grade tool.
Contractor/Vendor Support: Short-term external support to accelerate development, bridge current resource gaps, and ensure timely delivery of key project milestones.
Funding: Dedicated budget to secure contractor/vendor support, acquire necessary tools/licenses, and sustain ongoing development
Skills
VSAT, TSAT
Additional Skills & Qualifications
Req Qual Notes:
Location can be in Carmel, Eagan or fully remote. For the next year they have a project developing a tool that can help with certain studies. Focusing on quality control, a tool that can streamline current process. Can be scaleable for the future. They are mainly looking for a person who has extensive coding skill. Some kind of power system experience would be great. Expected to put together a tool that connects power systems side (developing models and pulling in data from different sources).
This group is responsible for processing outages in Midwest area. Outage conditions where members submit requests to be approved to do work. Maintenance work to service certain lines. They take those requests and assess the impact to the system. When you take certain lines out of service you have to make sure you don't mess other things up. You have to do steady state analysis as well as impact analysis.
Team only works from 8-5. Standard hours and no on call. Purely technical work. No customer work. Not processing any outages. Responsible for developing the tool that will achieve goals within the new tool. Will be a big leg up if someone can be on site in Eagan or Carmel but not 100% required.
Looking for a Sr. Engineer. Typically 6-7 years of experience.
Top Things he wants to see: Extensive coding experience. Power System Experience
