About the role
- Your work will help prove what's possible supporting microgrids that reliably power gigawatts of critical datacenter load at unprecedented scale.
- Joining this team means contributing to high-impact projects while growing your technical depth alongside experienced engineers tackling some of the industry's most challenging power system problems.
Responsibilities
- Build and oversee the development of detailed EMT and dynamic models representing loads, superv iso ry controls, protection schemes, and generation assets including batteries, wind, PV, reciprocating engines, and turbines.
- Identify key system parameters from design documentation, requirements, and field data to ensure models accurately reflect real-world behavior.
- Validate System Stability and Performance
- Partner Across Engineering and Suppliers
- Collaborate with adjacent engineering teams to understand system design, control logic, communication latencies, and protection schemes, feeding simulation insights back into design decisions
- Evaluate supplier documentation and models to characterize expected behavior and operational limitations of generation and storage assetsFeeding simulation insights back into design decisionsEvaluate supplier documentation and models
- Support Testing, Optimization, and Field Validation
- Assess design options by evaluating performance tradeoffs and long-term cost impacts from a power system stability perspective.
- Support post-event analysis through field data review, model correlation, and model playback to continuously improve system fidelity.
- Here's how we support you:
Requirements
- 4-8+ years of experience performing EMT and dynamic power system studies for microgrids, islanded systems, or weak-grid environments
