Senior Power Systems Studies Engineer

Job Description

Senior Power Systems Studies Engineer

Role Summary

We are seeking a Senior Power Systems Studies Engineer to lead advanced power system studies for large-scale data center projects, generation facilities, and complex electrical infrastructure. This role is responsible for executing high-quality EMT, steady-state, dynamic, and power quality studies, as well as developing validated simulation models

Key Responsibilities

• Lead EMT, steady-state, dynamic, and power quality studies for data centers, and generation facilities

• Perform advanced design and performance studies covering transient and temporary overvoltages, transient recovery voltage, switching and lightning overvoltages, insulation coordination, harmonics, flicker, energization, load flow, short-circuit, stability, and power quality.

• Develop, tune, validate, and benchmark dynamic models for generators, loads, inverter-based resources, data center equipment, and other electrical assets using field data, manufacturer information, and simulation results.

• Analyze data center power systems with an emphasis on large load dynamics, equipment modeling, backup generation, UPS behavior, switching events, power quality, and overall system performance.

• Evaluate conventional and inverter-based generation systems, including machine dynamics, control system tuning, disturbance ride-through, and grid performance.

• Translate complex simulation results into clear conclusions, practical recommendations, and decision-ready guidance for clients and project stakeholders.

• 10+ years of experience in power system modeling, analysis, and studies.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, preferably with a power systems focus.

• Strong experience with PSCAD.

• Experience with additional tools such as PSS/E, EMTP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, or similar platforms is preferred.

• Working knowledge of applicable IEEE, IEC, CIGRE, utility, and industry standards.

• Strong experience performing EMT, steady-state, dynamic, transient, or power quality studies.

• Experience developing and validating generator, load, equipment, or inverter-based resource models.

• Experience with power generation and on-site generation systems including gas turbines, reciprocating engines, synchronous generators, backup generation, and hybrid generation configurations.

• Experience with generator dynamic performance, including excitation systems, governors, disturbance ride-through, and response to large step-load changes.
