The role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership and collaboration across regional and global engineering teams. Projects may include:
- Utility-scale renewable energy integration
- Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
- Microgrids
- Data center electrical systems
- Grid modernization
- Industrial power systems
- Advanced power electronics applications
Key Responsibilities
Power-System Studies
Conduct and lead detailed electrical system studies, including load-flow and voltage-profile studies, reactive-power capability and compensation studies, power-factor analysis, short-circuit and protection-coordination studies, and more.
Microgrid & Grid Integration
Develop and validate system-level models of complex microgrids, evaluate grid-connected, islanded, black-start, and transition operating conditions, support integration of renewable generation, BESS, reciprocating engines, gas turbines, and inverter-based resources, perform utility and ISO/RTO interconnection studies, and support compliance with applicable grid codes and standards.
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, and contribute to project execution, technical consulting, and development of advanced power-system solutions.
Required Qualifications
