Senior Consultant - Real-Time Digital Simulation (RTDS)

A Snapshot of Your Day The Senior Expert RTDS will use his/her technical background and expertise to develop sophisticated real-time digital simulation models for power system studies, with a specialized focus on HVDC applications and grid integration challenges. Later, he/she will review and validate complex RTDS models that solve specific challenges of modern power systems incorporating high levels of power electronics and converter-based technologies. In between meetings, he/she will present virtually to new clients our RTDS-based simulation capabilities and consulting offerings. Finally, the Senior Expert will review the progress of several RTDS modeling engagements under his/her oversight and check status vs. planned workplan. How You’ll Make an Impact Overseeing the development and validation of RTDS models for HVDC systems, grid integration studies, and real-time simulation applications. Supporting the creation of detailed RTDS models for power electronic devices, HVDC converters, renewable generation, and storage integration into AC grids. Leading analyses of electromagnetic transients, converter control interactions, harmonic phenomena, and protection system behavior using advanced RTDS capabilities. Managing RTDS consulting engagements from initiation to completion, coordinating with engineers, modeling specialists, and sub-contractors in diverse environments. Engaging in business development by identifying RTDS market opportunities, developing technical proposals, and building execution teams. Presenting RTDS simulation results and technical findings to clients, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities while mentoring junior team members in modeling and consulting practices. What You Bring University degree in electrical power engineering (M.Sc. or Ph.D. preferred) 8 or more years of extensive professional experience in real-time digital simulation and power system modeling, particularly in HVDC applications. Candidates with more experience can be considered for a higher level or vice-versa. Expertise in RTDS hardware/software with advanced knowledge of RSCAD modeling, real-time simulation principles, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and integration with physical hardware for closed-loop applications. Extensive experience in VSC-HVDC systems including converter control, DC grid applications, power system protection, and grid codes, with a proven track record of RTDS-based testing, validation, and successful implementations. Strong understanding of power system dynamics including electromagnetic transients, converter-based technologies, and grid integration challenges, with deep knowledge of real-time simulation requirements for modern power systems. Proven consulting and communication skills demonstrated through successful RTDS projects, business development activities, and the ability to clearly convey complex technical concepts and strategies while managing client relationships.
