Senior Engineer, Power Systems Controls

What you'll do

• Develop and run plant-level PSCAD EMT models and studies, including islanded operation, faults, protection, and inverter interactions.
• Build real-time Typhoon HIL models, automate controller testing, and run firmware regression tests correlated with PSCAD results.
• Support commissioning and field troubleshooting, and coordinate technical findings with OEMs and internal engineering teams.

What they ask for

• M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Power Electronics, or Controls with 5+ years of relevant experience, or a Ph.D. in one of these fields with 1 to 3 years of relevant experience.
• Hands-on PSCAD/EMTDC experience building plant-level inverter-based resource models, integrating OEM black-box models, and running fault, ride-through, and dynamic studies.
• Hands-on real-time HIL experience; working knowledge of grid-forming and grid-following inverter control and islanded, low-fault-current protection.
• Proficiency in Python for study automation and data analysis; experience writing test procedures and technical study reports.

Nice to have

• Direct islanded, off-grid, or behind-the-meter microgrid experience, especially black start of an inverter-dominant system.
• Typhoon HIL certification or experience building automated HIL regression pipelines.
