Ideal Candidate You are a highly motivated electrical engineer who takes pride in delivering top‑notch work. You’re proactive and self‑sufficient, able to tackle complex simulations autonomously while meeting deadlines. You work well remotely, staying productive without close supervision. You continuously expand your knowledge and seek ways to improve processes for greater quality and efficiency. A true team player, you communicate effectively and prioritize team goals. You’re comfortable in a client‑facing role, eager to take on new responsibilities, and excited to learn new skills whenever needed.
What you will be doing As an EMT Studies Engineer, you will lead and support a wide range of electromagnetic transient studies for utility, developer, and ISO clients. Your work will span both generation and transmission systems, including conventional and renewable energy projects, substations, and high‑voltage transmission networks.
Performing EMT studies using PSCAD, EMTP, or equivalent tools to analyze phenomena such as SSR, SSCI, TOV, TRV, inrush, harmonics, and insulation coordination.
Developing and validating detailed models of transmission lines, substations, generators, inverters, and protection systems.
Supporting interconnection studies for both renewable and conventional generation, including combustion turbines and large industrial loads.
Conducting dynamic stability studies using PSS/E, PSLF, or PowerWorld.
Collaborating with clients and internal teams to define study scopes, present findings, and recommend mitigation strategies.
Preparing clear, technically sound reports and presentations for stakeholders.
Automating simulation workflows using Python, MATLAB, or similar scripting tools.
Staying current with industry standards (e.g., IEEE, NERC) and contributing to internal process improvements.
Minimum Qualifications
BS in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering from an ABET certified college or university
5+ years of experience performing electromagnetic transient studies. Each year of education may be substituted for 1 year of experience (Master’s/PhD).
8+ years of experience with PSCAD, EMTP, PSSE/PSLF Dynamic Modules, or other equivalent software packages
Preferred Qualifications
Certification: Engineer‑in‑Training (EIT) or Professional Engineer (PE) registration.
Advanced Degree: Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, preferably with a focus on Power Systems or Power Electronics.
Grid Knowledge: Familiarity with ISO/RTO interconnection processes (PJM, MISO, ERCOT, etc.) and relevant NERC/IEEE standards.
Software Skills: Experience performing transmission planning studies on power system tools such as PSSE, PSLF, PowerWorld, or ASPEN/CAPE, and proficiency in scripting (e.g. Python, MATLAB) for automating analyses.
Project Experience: Experience on a diverse range of projects including renewable energy (wind, solar, storage) and conventional generation (gas or steam turbines), as well as high‑voltage transmission and substation systems.
Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting and client interaction.
Client Management: Experience working in consulting or another client‑focus role.
Pay Range $118,730.00 – $201,840.00 (Nationwide Remote Office US99)
We are an equal opportunity employer. Together, our employees are empowered to share their expertise and collaborate with others to achieve personal and professional goals. For more information, please read our EEO policy. Reasonable accommodations are available, including, but not limited to, for disabled veterans, individuals with disabilities, and individuals with sincerely held religious beliefs, in all phases of the application and employment process.
