Physics World
Overview
Join to apply for the
Power Grid Engineer
role at
Physics World . We have multiple openings for a
Power Grid Engineer
to conduct research in power system modeling and simulation, analysis, planning, operation, resilience, lab testing of devices and integrated systems, and field pilots. You will support LLNL’s Cyber and Infrastructure Resilience (CIR) program’s growing research portfolio in electric grid infrastructure. These positions are in the Computational Engineering Division (CED), within the Engineering Directorate. The level will be determined by knowledge and related experience as assessed by the responsibilities and will be assigned if hired at the higher level. Note: This description consolidates the relevant responsibilities and qualifications from the original posting and maintains the original language without adding facts.
Responsibilities
Conduct research in power grid modeling and simulation, analysis, planning, operation, monitoring and control, data analytics, power quality, signal processing, resilience, microgrids, HIL lab testing, and field pilots. Present formal and informal overviews of research progress at group meetings. Pursue independent (but complementary) research interests and interact with a broad spectrum of scientists internal and external to the Laboratory. Contribute to grant proposals and collaborate with others in a multidisciplinary team environment to accomplish research goals. Perform other duties as assigned. Additional Responsibilities at the SES.2 Level
Support complex research projects with competing priorities and implement advanced research concepts in a multidisciplinary team environment where dedication and deadlines are important to project success. Publish research results in external peer-reviewed scientific journals and participate in conferences and workshops. Engage directly with sponsors and partners and participate in development of new program business.
Qualifications
Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance which requires U.S. citizenship. Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Computer Science, or equivalent combination of education and related experience. Experience with at least one power grid simulation software, such as GridLab-D, CYMDIST, OpenDSS, PowerWorld, PSLF or PSS/E. Experience developing software in languages such as Python, C++, Matlab/Simulink for prototyping power grid algorithms and visualization. Analytical and problem-solving skills necessary to craft creative solutions to independently solve complex problems. Sufficient verbal and written communication skills needed to effectively collaborate in a team environment, present and explain technical information, and document work. Ability to travel off-site for conference presentations, and sponsor and customer interaction.
Additional Qualifications at the SES.2 Level
Comprehensive knowledge and broad experience in power grid modeling and simulation, analysis, planning, operation, monitoring and control, data analytics, power quality, signal processing, resilience, microgrids, HIL lab testing, and field pilots. Power grid industry experience in practical power grid infrastructure resilience applications, with Department of Energy (DOE), and other relevant state government agencies. Proficient verbal and written communication skills necessary to effectively collaborate in a team environment and present and explain technical information.
Qualifications We Desire
Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, or related field. Power grid industry experience in practical power grid infrastructure resilience applications, with Department of Energy (DOE), and other relevant federal and state government agencies.
Position Information
This is a Career Indefinite position, open to Lab employees and external candidates.
Security & Compliance
This position requires a Department of Energy (DOE) Q-level clearance. Also, you must have the ability to obtain and maintain Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access. If you are selected, we will initiate a Federal background investigation to determine if you meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information or matter. Also, all L or Q cleared employees are subject to random drug testing. Q-level clearance requires U.S. citizenship. External applicant(s) selected for this position must pass a post-offer, pre-employment drug test. This includes testing for use of marijuana as Federal Law applies to us as a Federal Contractor.
