Power Systems Engineer, Lead

Radian Generation

2d•$165,000 - $180,000

About The Position

Role and Responsibilities Support verification of facility models, system parameters, relay settings, and operational data required for reliability assessments. Conduct analyses related to protection coordination, relay performance, generator behavior, and system stability. Support engineering documentation for NERC audits, internal reviews, and evidence retention processes. Participate in grid event analysis, equipment disturbance reviews, and reliability investigations. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams Support engineering change management processes and participate in reviews of new equipment, upgrades, and interconnection projects. Assist with drafting engineering reports, technical summaries, and system diagrams. Contribute to continuous improvement efforts for engineering workflows, data quality, and compliance readiness. Drive the development and use of advanced automation scripts and tools to effectively conduct reliability studies at-scale, and help build systems and tools to drive business efficiencies in this area. Apply engineering fundamentals to develop best practices addressing emerging reliability risks in datacenter operations and IBR integration, including system oscillations, protection and control, and advanced inverter technologies. Engage with clients to understand their specific needs, and communicate complex technical concepts in both verbal and written formats tailored to datacenter and IBR modeling contexts. Coordinate with internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure accurate data collection and reporting. Strong automation and programming skills such as using Python. Experience in real-time simulation is considered a plus. Support regulator communications and respond to compliance inquiries. Additional tasks as assigned.
