Apex Systems is seeking a Power Engineer to join our client in Greenwood Village, CO. This is a 6-12 month contract-to-hire opportunity.
The client is currently developing a variety of energy-related opportunities, and seeking an experienced engineer with inter-disciplinary skills including power-related electrical engineering experience and strong software development capabilities to help move our efforts forward. The successful candidate will be comfortable with both hardware and software.
In this role, you will research, architect, develop and support innovative powering solutions that complement the companys hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network and consumer premise equipment (CPE). You will lead development of new opportunities that impact power utilization, storage, generation, measurement, monitoring and carriage across the companys HFC network and related facilities, with a view toward improving energy efficiency and reducing operational expenses and carbon emissions, while increasing network reliability. In addition, you will serve as a key engineering resource in the development of new revenue and service opportunities in the energy domain for the company, including demand response and virtual power plant applications. To accomplish this, you will work closely with network engineers, business analysts, and executives across the companys Product & Technology organization.

Development/prototyping of optimization and forecasting algorithms using data analysis and machine learning
General familiarity with power systems desirable, including:
Electrical power transmission and distribution grids
Renewable power generation, including solar, energy storage technologies, microgrids
Demand response, dispatchable power, and virtual power plants
General familiarity with HFC network architecture and technologies desirable, including HFC quasi square wave powering
