Products at AES combine engineering and commercial solutions to deliver clean energy efficiently and cost-effectively. The engineering solutions integrate procured hardware and software utilized in energy generation conversion and storage applications at renewable energy power plants. AES is seeking a product solutions engineer to support product development for advanced grid applications in the Solutions Engineering team. This will involve designing and prototyping system architectures for new products conducting electro-magnetic transient (EMT) simulations for microgrids and grid-forming applications developing operational requirements and system control integration guidance working with our controls SMEs coordinating project de-risking objectives with AES Technology Solutions group execution of new technology capabilities at pilot projects and recording fundamental learnings to transfer the product into project engineering. After a pilot plant is developed de-risked and executed this role will coordinate with product engineers to convert the solutions into engineering documentation to support the AES products commercialization globally.

The successful candidate will have a background in electrical engineering systems engineering or renewable energy engineering. Having experience in PSCAD is a plus to simulate new systems and applications in the resilience space. They will be able to distill a pilot projects contractual technical requirements to develop power plant component and site-level architectures during the development phases of the project. This will involve reviewing and defining technical specifications of sub-system renewable powerplant components (energy storage power conversion systems solar arrays wind generators plant controllers and other clean energy technologies) by leveraging information from equipment subject matter experts (SMEs). They will be interested in new technologies and system solutions while being passionate about clean energy and decarbonization. They will be organized and able to produce effective analysis of on-site test data and report learnings to the broader AES engineering teams.
