Technical Leadership • Serve as a power-systems subject matter expert for engineering and customer projects. • Review power-system study assumptions, methodologies, models, and deliverables. • Provide technical oversight of external engineering consultants when required. • Support technical proposals, customer discussions, and engineering presentations. • Collaborate with regional and global engineering teams to leverage technical expertise and best practices. • Contribute to project execution, technical consulting, and development of advanced powersystem solutions.
Required Qualifications
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with specialization in Power Systems, Power Electronics, or a closely related discipline.
• 6+ years of industrial experience performing power-system studies and simulation for utility, industrial, renewable energy, microgrid, or data-center applications.
• Hands-on experience with power-system modeling and analytical studies. • Experience modeling grid-forming and grid-following inverters.
• Understanding of converter controls and electrical protection systems.
• Experience with data-center electrical infrastructure.
• Familiarity with AI and hyperscale data-center electrical architectures.
• Experience with medium-voltage distribution systems.
• Experience with backup-generation systems.
Power-System Modeling Tools Experience with one or more of the following is highly relevant:
• PSCAD • PSS/E • ETAP • CYME • EMTP-RV • PSLF • EasyPower • MATLAB / Simulink
Preferred / Additional Experience Experience in any of the following areas is highly valued:
