About the Role
Be a part of an innovative team shaping the grid of the future through advanced energy intelligence. EPE provides consulting expertise and energy intelligence software solutions for complex engineering and grid modeling challenges. We are focused on building a modern, secure, and resilient grid.
Responsibilities
- Design, test, and validate software that supports and accelerates transmission planning and interconnection assessment workflows.
- Translate transmission planning practice into clear requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for the development team.
- Design and test features for utility-scale generation interconnection and transmission planning assessments, including steady-state, short circuit, and dynamic stability workflows.
- Use Python and related tools to automate study setup, execution, and post-processing.
- Build tools that streamline transmission system studies and simulations.
- Work with power flow and dynamics case data, contingency and monitored-element files, and supporting data to keep models and inputs clean, versioned, and reproducible.
- Benchmark tool results against established industry software and hand-calculated or reference studies.
- Troubleshoot discrepancies to ensure accuracy, reliability, and performance.
- Partner with transmission planners, software developers, and cross-functional teams to develop and integrate solutions.
- Write clear methodology notes, user guides, and release validation reports.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on power systems; a Master's degree is a plus.
- 4+ years of experience as a power systems engineer in transmission planning and analysis, generation interconnection, or renewable energy development.
- Hands-on experience performing power system studies such as steady-state, short circuit, and/or dynamic stability.
- Working proficiency in at least one major power system analysis tool (e.g., PSS/E, PSLF, PowerWorld, TSAT/DSATools, PSCAD, ASPEN, TARA).
- Solid understanding of the US transmission network and generation development, including ISO/RTO market structures, interconnection queue processes, and NERC TPL planning standards.
- Working knowledge of Python for scripting and automation of engineering workflows.
- Strong presentation and communication skills.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, especially in identifying and resolving issues in power system simulations, models, and software results.
- Strong programming and automation skills in Python, including power system APIs (e.g., psspy) and data libraries (pandas, NumPy).
- Experience with software testing frameworks and practices (e.g., pytest, regression/benchmark test suites) and version control (Git).
- Experience with Agile development, issue tracking (e.g., Jira), and writing requirements or user stories.
- Familiarity with cloud-based software development, distributed or batch computing.
- Experience with SPP, MISO, PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, or other ISO/RTO interconnection or transmission planning processes.
- Familiarity with FERC Order 2023 and current interconnection reform.
- Knowledge of AI-driven or machine-learning applications in power systems.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or EIT.
