Senior GE Grid EMS DMS Engineer
About The Position
The Engineer IV will provide senior-level engineering and technical support for Energy Management System (EMS) and Distribution Management System (DMS) applications that support electric transmission and control room operations. The position requires extensive hands-on experience with General Electric Grid EMS/DMS systems, advanced EMS applications, power flow, and transmission systems. The engineer will independently troubleshoot complex EMS issues, provide technical guidance, and evaluate system-wide impacts with minimal supervision. Strong experience with GE Grid products is the highest-priority qualification. This is an office-based role with no anticipated travel or driving requirements. The position is expected to be fully onsite initially, for approximately the first quarter, while the employee receives training and becomes comfortable working independently. A hybrid schedule may be available afterward. Candidates may be considered across approved locations, with priority given to the best-qualified candidate.
