Join our dynamic teams designing and developing next-gen energy technologies and help drive a sustainable future!
About the role The Enphase System Control Innovation (SCI) team in the office of the CTO is responsible for defining, prototyping, and supporting the next generation system control solutions for Enphase products. The team is an integrated, multi-disciplinary group that is fast-moving and looking for motivated individuals that can contribute and collaborate closely with the team to deliver innovative solutions. As a member of the SCI team, you will solve some of the most exciting problems in the distributed energy space and help shape the direction of our products.
What you will do
Develop and validate detailed PSCAD electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation models that integrate power electronics systems, power systems, and control systems.
Perform advanced modeling and analysis using PSCAD and other related modeling tools to support design, integration, and performance evaluation
Implement custom control logic and custom-defined models using C within EMT/PSCAD models
Develop specifications and integration designs for external control interfaces, sensing, electrical protection, and power system integration of power electronics products
Apply simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and hardware testing to ensure models, controls, and interfaces are accurate and meet performance requirements
Documentation of system and component requirements, models, and control approaches
Participate in hands-on bring up of energy system hardware components (relays, power meters, power converters, power supplies, communications devices, etc.) and system electrical assemblies
Work with a multi-disciplinary team to test and troubleshoot prototype designs
Mentor junior staff
Who you are and What you bring
BS/MS/PhD Electrical Engineering or closely related discipline with modeling, control system engineering, and energy system experience.
Job title and position level will be determined upon the candidate’s experience
Minimum experience for a Senior Engineer: BS and 5+ years of relevant experience / MS and 3+ years / PhD
Minimum experience for a Staff Engineer: BS and 8+ years relevant experience / MS and 6+ years / PhD and 3+ years
Candidates with greater levels of experience may be considered and are encouraged to apply
Strong experience developing dynamical models for power electronics systems, generators, power systems, and/or HVDC systems and performing EMT simulations for stability, fault analysis, and protection coordination
Proficiency developing, analyzing, and applying control and optimization approaches (e.g., phased-lock loops, closed-loop control systems, droop control, filtering and estimation, system identification, etc.) to energy systems
Ability to understand and develop component and systems models and control algorithms in C/C++
Familiarity with grid codes, renewable integration, and inverter-based resources
Ability to troubleshoot complex systems and drive solutions
Ability to take ownership of development tasks and drive them to completion in a timely manner and with high quality to support team success
Additional Desired Skills
Modeling/Simulation experience in MATLAB/Simulink
Hands-on experience testing electrical and electromechanical system assemblies
Familiarity with HIL simulation-based validation
Proficiency with lab equipment including power meters, electronic loads, power supplies, oscilloscopes, etc.
Familiarity with power system integration codes and standards such as UL 1741 and IEEE 1547
Travel
Occasional travel domestically
Work location
Hybrid position (at least 3 days in the office per week) based in Austin, TX
The base pay range for this position is $100,000 to $151,000. This salary range may be modified in the future. The successful candidate’s starting pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, education or training, work location, and market conditions. This position is also eligible for bonus, equity, and benefits.
