Responsibilities
Create mathematical algorithms for power systems simulation. This includes engineering design of power systems models, as well as implementation and testing. Implementation will be done in mostly in Fortran, but the candidate is expected to have the ability to adapt if another programming language is chosen. C, C++, and Python are commonly used in our portfolio. Design tasks range from theory (symbolic algebra) to the software algorithm that delivers it, and to clearly document the model (how to use it and how to maintain it)
Exhibit proficiency in object-oriented programming, functional programming, and other techniques to accelerate the process of modeling power systems simulations
Work with the Grid Simulation software development team (also known in the industry as the Power Technologies International—or PTI—software team) on designing, developing, and testing and documenting the software
Maintain and develop components of the Grid Simulation PSS® software platform under the direction of the product manager and product owner
Create robust tests to assess performance, correctness, and usability of the software
Provide estimates and analysis of tasks required for development and actively participate in development status reviews
Develop software according to modern methodologies such as the Scaled Agile Framework, including the use of tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Git
Stay abreast of new developments in power system analysis, modeling, and optimization
Qualification
Required
Master's degree in power systems engineering, or electrical engineering with an emphasis in power systems engineering, with strong abilities in software development
Work experience with power system analysis methodologies and the ability to research, investigate, and apply new and complex modeling and analysis techniques
Experience developing in Python, C/C++, or Fortran, particularly in the Microsoft Visual Studio environment
Familiarity with power systems simulation techniques and how to model equipment
Knowledge of power system modeling, power flow solutions, and contingency analysis
Knowledge of control engineering
Ability to travel up to 10%
Preferred
Ph.D. in power systems engineering, or electrical engineering with an emphasis in power systems engineering, with strong abilities in power systems software development
Prior experience with creating simulation models for power system components is a plus
Experience using PSS®E in a Utility or National Laboratory is a plus: this is your opportunity to change from being a user of the software to guiding the development of the software
