OES is seeking a Senior Power Systems Engineer who will provide relevant skills, experience, and expertise in a utility environment associated with operational technology projects. OES' primary functions are around technology solution development and utility consulting services, and this individual would play an instrumental part of the team (including but not limited to IT/communication specialists, developers, electricians, project managers, etc.) providing technical expertise and industry acumen.

This role sits at the intersection of research and practical field application, offering a rare opportunity to be a valuable contributor in cutting-edge power systems work deployed in real utility environments. In the role, the candidate is expected to wear several hats: technical solution designer, client subject matter advisor, power systems analysis, and modeling/simulation engineer. This can be a high-paced, dynamic environment, so the individual must be responsive, creative, and proficient with respect to individual projects and the job in general.

Design, develop, and test various operational technology solutions (PoC, MVP, and/or Commercialized)
Develop, configure and parametrize simulation models representing distribution feeders including microgrids and DER inverters
Perform power system transient studies, and detailed equipment modeling using software tools
Model distribution feeders, equipment wiring, and fault analysis
Provide technical support for Hardware-in-loop (HIL) and other types of simulations
Provide a variety of consulting/advisory services for other requests both internally for team members and externally for client projects
Clearly communicate results to internal stakeholders by preparing detailed written reports/presentations describing analyses performed and proposed solutions developed


Foundational, Required Skills:

Education: PhD in Power Systems Engineering. MS candidate would be considered, but only if with exceptional experience(s).
Experience: Must have industry experience. Practical experience (e.g., Utility, Software, Consulting) will be prioritized over theoretical (e.g., Postdocs, National Labs).
Development: Strong Programming Skills required. Must be proficient in one or more languages (e.g., Python). Again, real-world applications will be prioritized over academic.
Literacy, Fluency: English


Important Soft Skills:

Strong organizational and problem-solving skills
Strong work ethic and positive attitude
Ability to learn new skills, industry and product knowledge
Can work independently AND as part of a team environment
Strong verbal, written, and interpersonal skills. Ability to convey knowledge/experience, ideas, and opinions to clients and team members in an effective and constructive way.
Ability to travel 0-50% of the weeks in a month with each trip being multiple days
Eager to leverage AI tools in their own role to enhance productivity and innovation in power systems engineering


Desired/Optional Power Systems Capabilities:

Provide the team with applied knowledge and experience of electrical modeling formats and schemas (CIM 100, DSS, CYME) as well as conversion tools
Demonstrate strong conceptual understanding of IEEE 1547 and related standards
Strong understanding of distribution management system and DER integration use cases
Previous experience with software development lifecycle, especially as it pertains to power systems
Familiar with software simulation applications such as OpenDSS and/or GridLab-D
Provides functional expertise and technical support for algorithmic design of distribution optimization techniques such as CVR, VVO, FLISR etc.
Familiar with Hardware-in-loop (HIL) simulations; experience with Typhoon HIL and/or RTDS will be highly considered
Previous experience performing microgrid protection and control
