Power Systems Engineer I

Overview We are designing the grid of the future! Working as a Power Systems Engineer at EPE, you will gain experience developing and conducting modeling and analysis for transmission planning. You will contribute to systems design studies, generation interconnection planning studies, and applications.

And you will also learn the foundation of collecting and setting up data to perform preliminary analysis to support higher staff engineering levels.

Responsibilities

How you can make an impact: Building steady state models for solar, wind, storage and conventional generation projects Building dynamic models for above technologies which may require interaction with equipment vendors to determine the appropriate parameters.

Performing model quality test / benchmarking of dynamic models in various tools per ISO requirement Performing distribution/transmission import/export analyses (aka injection/withdrawal studies), generator capability studies, and providing site selection support.

Assisting in the submission of generation and load interconnection applications to various ISOs (i. e. , ERCOT and ISOs and utilities in the Eastern Interconnect). Guiding clients through ERCOT’s generator interconnection process and answering process related questions.

Qualifications

Bring your passion, here's what’s needed: Bachelor of Science or Electrical Engineering with a power system emphasis (Master’s degree or PhD is a plus) Proficient utilization of at least one but preferably several of the following transmission planning tools: PSS/E, TARA, ETAP, PSCAD, Aspen One-Liner, and PowerWorld Simulator.

Prior experience with ERCOT’s generator interconnection process and/or any of the transmission service providers in Texas Knowledge of EMT based tools and applications (i. e. EMTP/PSCAD) would be considered an asset.

Experience leveraging AI and automation tools responsibly to improve quality, productivity and innovation Proven team player skills with ability to build and maintain internal a
