About the role
We are hiring a Control Systems Engineer to develop, test, and deploy the control software behind our HVDC terminals and transmission network. You will work directly with the Principal Power Systems Control Architect, power systems engineers, and the broader R&D team, taking ownership of key control software subsystems, validation, and commissioning support.
What they're looking for
- Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Controls, or Power Systems
- Exposure to real-time embedded control systems development (e.g., C/C++ on RTOS or bare-metal platforms)
- Exposure to electromagnetic transient analysis utilizing simulation tools such as PSCAD or EMTP
- Experience with PSSE and PSLF transmission grid simulation tools
- Experience with power electronics control (inverters, converters, rectifiers), ideally on Voltage Source Converter (VSC) HVDC systems
- Exposure to grid-forming and grid-following inverter control strategies
More about this role
American Terawatt is building a new industrial electric grid for the United States. Power systems engineering is at the core of what we do.
We design and deploy advanced power transmission systems, serving large industrial loads, gigawatts at a time. Our systems deliver power to everything from frontier AI datacenters to advanced automated manufacturing, refineries, mines, and more.
We make interconnection fast, simple, and cheap. On our network, generation owners get their projects online faster, delivering abundant power at competitive prices.
The backbone of American Terawatt’s network is HVDC transmission, anchored by our unique terminal design. American Terawatt’s HVDC terminals are standardized, modular, and natively integrate energy storage. Each terminal is designed to expand to operate as a full node on our future HVDC transmission network.
