  • Understanding of converter controls and protection systems.
  • Experience with data center electrical infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with AI and hyperscale data center electrical architectures.
  • Experience with medium-voltage distribution systems and backup generation.
  • Experience with tools such as PSLF, EMTP-RV, CYME, EasyPower, PSCAD, ETAP, PSS/E, or MATLAB/Simulink.

Responsibilities:

Power System Studies

Conduct and lead electrical system analyses, including:

  • Load flow and voltage profile studies
  • Reactive power capability, compensation, and power factor studies
  • Short-circuit and protection coordination studies
  • Combined Short-Circuit Ratio (CSCR) analysis
  • Harmonic, transient stability, and dynamic stability studies
  • Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) and switching transient studies
  • Insulation coordination and transient overvoltage analysis
  • Ride-through performance evaluations
  • Arc-flash hazard assessments
  • Cable ampacity and sizing studies
  • Grounding system design and analysis

Microgrid and Grid Integration

  • Develop and validate system-level models for complex microgrids.
  • Evaluate grid-connected, islanded, black-start, and transition operating conditions.
  • Support the integration of renewable generation, battery storage, reciprocating engines, gas turbines, and inverter-based resources.
  • Perform utility and ISO/RTO interconnection studies.
  • Support compliance with applicable grid codes and standards.

Technical Leadership

  • Serve as a power systems subject-matter expert for customer projects and internal engineering teams.
  • Review study assumptions, methodologies, models, and deliverables.
  • Provide technical oversight to third-party consultants.
  • Support proposal development, customer presentations, and technical consulting.
  • Collaborate with global engineering teams to apply technical expertise and best practices.
