Power Systems Engineer - EMT Modeling/Simulation & Test Validation

Simulation & Modeling

Build and execute system-level power system simulations using PSCAD/EMTDC or MATLAB/Simulink to analyze transient, steady-state, and dynamic phenomena

Perform impact studies for Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) such as generators, solar, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Conduct Sub-Synchronous Oscillation (SSO) studies, Control Interaction (CI) analysis, and Transient Overvoltage (TOV) assessments

Develop and maintain simulation environments for power electronics, energy storage, power conversion, and grid-interactive systems

Test & Validation

Create and execute test plans, test procedures, and validation protocols for electrical and power system components and integrated systems

Perform model-in-the-loop (MIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and lab-based power converter testing as appropriate

Validate simulation results against experimental and field data; improve model fidelity over time

Analyze transient, fault, thermal, and dynamic behavior of power systems under normal and off-nominal conditions

Investigate root causes of test failures and performance gaps; drive corrective actions with cross-functional teams

Design and automate test infrastructure, data collection workflows, and post-processing and analysis tools

Cross-Functional Contribution

Support controls and firmware teams by evaluating system response, protections, edge cases, and failure modes

Translate complex simulation and test data into clear, actionable technical reports for clients, utilities, or internal stakeholders

Contribute to design reviews, risk assessments, and engineering decision-making throughout product development
