  • 10+ years of experience in power system studies, transmission planning, or interconnection, at a utility or a consulting firm
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience running interconnection studies specifically — a minimum of two years
  • Proficiency with commercial power system tools (e.g., PSSE, PSLF, PowerWorld, PSCAD, PowerGEM TARA, ASPEN)
  • Strong coding skills in Python or equivalent, including use of power system tool APIs (psspy, simauto, pypowergem)
  • Strong understanding of FERC, NERC, and ISO/RTO interconnection processes
More about this role

We are looking for a Principal Power Systems Engineer with hands-on interconnection study experience and a passion for improving the grid integration process through AI and automation .
