As a Power Systems Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping the future of low-carbon energy systems. Working within a multidisciplinary team of engineers, researchers, and climate experts, you will develop and deploy machine learning models to forecast electricity load, generation, and pricing, with a focus on renewable energy integration.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain AI-driven forecasting systems for power generation, demand, and market prices, with emphasis on wind and solar resources
- Design and evaluate electrical infrastructure solutions that support decarbonization, including grid integration, power electronics, and electrification strategies
- Support long-term planning efforts involving transmission expansion, resource adequacy, and production cost modeling using tools like PROMOD, Plexos, or AURORA
- Perform technical assessments of energy storage, industrial electrification projects, and emerging technologies
- Translate engineering and market analyses into clear, strategic recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences
- Collaborate with scientists and policy specialists to deliver client-ready insights and thought leadership content
- Contribute to technical publications and reports on grid modernization and clean energy transitions
- Stay informed on evolving power system technologies, regulatory frameworks, and carbon reduction pathways
Qualifications
Applicants should hold a Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related quantitative discipline. You must bring demonstrated experience in power systems analysis, including AC/DC power flow modeling and familiarity with wholesale electricity markets and grid operations.
- Proven skills in statistical modeling, forecasting, and data analysis using Python, R, or MATLAB
- Hands-on experience with production-cost modeling platforms and machine learning deployment in operational settings
- Strong understanding of ISO/RTO market structures, capacity mechanisms, and reliability standards
- Excellent communication abilities, with experience presenting technical findings to diverse stakeholders
- Ability to work effectively across technical and policy domains in fast-paced, collaborative environments
Preferred Experience
- Modeling of energy storage, EV charging networks, or industrial electrification systems
- Knowledge of carbon accounting, energy policy, or regulatory proceedings such as those before FERC
- Background in consulting or climate-focused organizations serving corporate clients
- Professional Engineering (PE) license or equivalent credentialing
- Publicly shared technical work related to grid decarbonization or energy innovation
- Understanding of natural gas and power market interdependencies
