Senior Power Systems Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in India.

📋 Description

• Assess, compare, and make recommendations regarding open-source or licensed power flow engines.

• Integrate and manage the chosen power flow engine within the product.

• Develop and sustain a digital twin of the grid's capacity.

• Specify data requirements for network, asset, AMI, SCADA, and forecasts while addressing data gaps.

• Create repeatable utility integrations from CIM, GIS, vendor, SCADA, and AMI sources.

• Incorporate meter–transformer–phase confidence and SCADA calibration into the twin.

• Establish scenario capabilities for baseline, future, flexibility, contingency, and switching cases.

• Transform load, DER, EV, electrification, and large-load forecasts into study-ready 8760 P/Q and phase cases.

• Engineer production-scale 8760 and time-series execution.

• Develop real loading models using AMI-derived demand reconciled with SCADA data.

• Create interconnection study workflows for new loads and DER.

• Model substantial loads, data centers, phased energization, onsite generation, storage, and UPS.

• Construct firm, phased, conditional, and flexible interconnection options.

• Design repair or alternative connection paths for failed cases.

• Oversee technical design, performance, failure management, and observability.

• Develop QA and regression suites and verify results against planning tools and field data.

• Execute rapid proofs of concept on utility data and transition successful methods into production.

• Lead pilot programs and proof-of-value technical validation, defending results to utility planners and engineers.

• Collaborate with Product, the GM, Grid, and Data Science teams on customer evidence.

⛳️ Requirements

• BTech or MTech in Electrical Engineering; specialization in power systems is preferred.

• Over 5 years of experience in distribution system modeling or power systems analysis, including personally built models from imperfect source data.

• Practical experience with at least one distribution power flow tool: OpenDSS, CYME, Synergi, PowerFactory, PSS®SINCAL, or an ADMS power flow engine.

• Experience in model validation, including benchmarking one tool against another and clarifying differences.

• Background working in a production codebase alongside software developers, participating in code reviews, with tests and CI practices.

• Capability to convert a utility's raw data into a functional study within days, with shortcuts clearly defined.

• Knowledge of unbalanced three-phase distribution load flow.

• Familiarity with the distribution capacity planning cycle.

• Preferred experience with load or DER interconnection studies.

• Strongly preferred experience with large-load or data center interconnections.

• Strongly preferred experience with flexible or non-firm interconnections.

• Strongly preferred experience in connectivity model conversion at scale from CIM, GIS, or vendor exports.

• Strongly preferred experience with AMI interval data and 8760 forecasting.

• Strongly preferred experience with DER hosting capacity, N-1, and switching analysis.

• Strongly preferred proficiency in Python, including profiling numerical code at scale.

• Experience in evaluating or integrating a commercial solver SDK.

• A background in utility consulting or EPC with multi-utility exposure is strongly preferred.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation.

• Comprehensive benefits.

• Opportunities for professional development.
