Title: Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) Studies Engineer

Location: Remote US

Ready to make a difference

We are a client-focused engineering group reimagining how electric utilities and energy developers solve complex grid challenges. Were seeking a passionate innovative power systems engineer with deep expertise in electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies to help our clients tackle emerging transmission issues and integrate new power this role you will apply your skills to a broad range of projects from analyzing transient events in transmission networks (e.g. capacitor switching surges or transformer energization) to studying interactions in generation systems (e.g. sub-synchronous resonance in turbine-generators or control tuning for inverter-based resources).

Join us in delivering high-quality solutions across both conventional and renewable energy projects as we navigate the rapidly evolving electric power landscape.

Why youll love working here:

Quality of life: Fully remote work-life balance
Investment of the community: Donation matching volunteer opportunities
Investment in you: Tuition reimbursement access to professional development resources 401k matching Employee Stock Purchase Plan
And many many more (Ask your recruiter for more details!)

The Ideal Candidate

You are a highly motivated electrical engineer who takes pride in delivering top-notch work. Youre proactive and self-sufficient able to tackle complex simulations autonomously while meeting deadlines. You work well remotely staying productive without close supervision. You continually 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. Youre 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. Youll apply advanced simulation tools to analyze complex transient interactions and contribute to broader transmission planning efforts.

Daily/weekly responsibilities can include but are not limited to:

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.

What we need you to have (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 (Masters/PhD.)
8 years of experience with PSCAD EMTP PSSE/PSLF Dynamic Modules or other equivalent software packages

What we would like you to have (preferred qualifications):

Certification: Engineer-in-Training (EIT) or Professional Engineer (PE) registration.
Advanced Degree: Masters 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
