Summary

Job Title: Electrical Engineer Power Controls
Location: Danbury, CT

Overview:

Customer is seeking an Electrical Engineer specializing in power controls to develop and integrate control strategies and architectures for distributed power generation systems.

This engineer will write control narratives and sequences of operations for power generation systems to support the instrumentation & controls (I&C) teams, and help modernize how Customer develops and validates controls-moving from manual field tuning toward simulation-driven, model-based development.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and integrate control strategies for distributed power systems
Write control narratives and sequences of operations for power generation systems to support the I&C teams
Design and validate power-control architectures
Support simulation-driven and model-based controls development
Coordinate controls implementation across multiple disciplines
Apply power-industry standard control systems including Real Time Automation Controllers (RTAC) or similar power plant / microgrid controllers
Support MIL/HIL/SIL testing and validation
Integrate controls into complete solutions with hardware, software, and systems teams
Support factory testing, commissioning, and field troubleshooting

Required Qualifications:

BS in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline)
3+ years (Mid), 5+ years (Senior), or 10+ years (Staff) of relevant experience
Design with LV / MV AC
Power-control architecture design and validation
Model-based / simulation-driven controls development
Experience with RTAC or similar power plant / microgrid controllers
MIL/HIL/SIL testing and validation
Working knowledge of NEC, IEEE, and NFPA

Preferred Qualifications:

Industrial-scale inverters
Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
Solar PV
I&C coding experience
Grid-forming / grid-following control with seamless islanding and resynchronization logic
Microgrid supervisory control (generation-load balancing, economic dispatch, load shedding) and DERMS integration
Control narratives for fuel cell + storage hybrid dispatch tuned to data-center ramp / step-load profiles
Frequency / voltage regulation, droop control, and black-start sequencing
Fast load-shed / load-add schemes for island transitions
Tuning and verification of controls against realistic data-center load profiles and grid-disturbance scenarios
Fuel cell or distributed generation experience
Professional Engineer (PE) licensure
