Job Description & Skill Requirement:
Key Responsibilities
CIM Model Design & Development:
Design and develop CIM-compliant data models to represent Oncors electrical network including transmission distribution and asset management systems.
Customize and extend CIM standards (IEC 61970/61968) to meet Oncors specific operational and regulatory requirements.
Ensure models support applications such as SCADA DMS (Distribution Management System) EMS (Energy Management System) GIS (Geographic Information System) and other enterprise systems.
Data Integration & Interoperability:
Facilitate data exchange between Oncors systems using CIM as the standard for interoperability.
Collaborate with IT and engineering teams to integrate CIM models with enterprise architecture ensuring compatibility with existing systems and third-party applications.
Develop and maintain mappings and transformations for data exchange formats (e.g. XML RDF).
Leadership & Collaboration:
Lead a team of engineers and analysts in CIM implementation projects providing technical guidance and mentoring junior team members.
Work closely with stakeholders including operations IT and regulatory teams to gather requirements and align CIM models with business objectives.
Represent Oncor in industry forums and standards organizations to stay updated on CIM advancements and ensure compliance.
Model Maintenance & Governance:
Establish governance processes for CIM model lifecycle management including version control validation and documentation.
Perform regular audits and updates to ensure models remain accurate and aligned with evolving network configurations and standards.
Testing & Validation:
Develop test plans to validate CIM models against operational data and system requirements.
Ensure models meet performance scalability and reliability standards for mission-critical applications.
Innovation & Continuous Improvement:
Identify opportunities to leverage CIM for advanced analytics grid modernization and digital transformation initiatives.
Stay abreast of emerging technologies and standards in the utility industry to drive innovation.

Qualifications
Education: Bachelors degree in electrical engineering Computer Science Information Systems or a related field. Masters degree preferred.
