Transmission System Analysis & EMT Modeling Staff/Level III
About The Position
This Staff Level III Engineer supports research and development projects involving grid modeling and stability analysis in systems with high levels of inverter-based renewable resources, as well as load analysis. The candidate conducts research in complex, high-impact technical or scientific fields and works on technical activities with limited direct supervision. The role involves addressing specialized technical objectives and problems where cause-and-effect relationships are difficult to establish and little or no precedent exists. It requires applying technical expertise across related disciplines and developing creative solutions to complex problems. The successful candidate may lead research initiatives in electromagnetic transient phenomena, particularly involving wind and solar energy systems and load.
Requirements
- Electrical engineering background with an emphasis on power systems.
- Strong experience with control system theory and analysis.
- Strong experience with power system stability analysis, especially small-signal stability analysis and frequency spectrum analysis.
- Familiarity with wind and solar inverter modeling in both EMT and RMS domains.
- Familiarity with generic models of inverters and loads.
- Strong experience with electromagnetic transients simulation tools; PSCAD and EMTP are preferred.
- Strong experience with electromechanical dynamics simulation tools; PSS/E and PSLF are preferred.
- Strong programming skills; Python and C are preferred in the job duties section.
- Strong technical writing skills.
- Ability to work on technical activities with limited direct supervision.
