Job Description

Engineering Service Business Unit focuses on power system software development, power system and substation consulting studies and compliance testing services, as well as asset management solutions for electric utilities and other clients in the power industry. We are the vendor of the cutting-edge power system analysis software package, DSATools™, which has been recognized globally as leading-edge technologies and software platforms for dynamic security assessment of large complex power systems for both off-line (system planning) and on-line applications (near-real-time operation).

We are a globally recognized power system study consultant delivering a full spectrum of analysis and engineering services. Our expertise spans electromagnetic transient switching studies, power system planning and operations studies including transient, small‑signal, voltage, and frequency stability—post‑mortem system disturbance investigations, and generation / load interconnection studies.

We also develop and validate generator, renewable (wind / solar), and load models through field testing, and support comprehensive NERC compliance requirements (TPL, PRC, MOD, CIP, and more). In addition, we are equipped with a Real‑Time Digital Simulator (RTDS), enabling real‑time evaluation and testing of new control, protection, and communication schemes and devices.

Our Power System Study and Modeling Engineers play a key role in various types of power system studies and modeling work for renewables (wind, solar and BESS, etc.) and large industrial loads. We are seeking up to two Study Engineers to join our team of highly experienced power system experts and specialists. The successful candidate will conduct a wide range of power system studies and support ongoing software development efforts, contributing to innovative, high‑quality solutions for our clients.

• Review generation and industrial loads technical documents related to system modelling and control strategies
• Develop or validate RMS (or phasor-domain) and EMT (Electromagnet transient) simulation models of renewables sites and large loads based on field measurements
• Perform model quality tests in TSAT, PSCAD, PSS / E and / or other platforms as required by transmission utilities and reliability entities
• Prepare study cases for power flow, short-circuit, and dynamic simulation studies, including creation of steady-state and transient study contingencies pursuant to study scope and requirements
• Perform power flow, short-circuit, contingency analysis, stability (transient, small-signal, voltage, and frequency) and transfer studies
• Perform power system planning and operational studies including grid compliance studies, system impact studies of generations and loads
• Develop user-defined models for special power system control and protection schemes and equipment for use in DSAToolsTM and other simulation platforms.
• Prepare technical study reports for generator and load interconnection studies, grid compliance studies, and model validation reports per regulatory requirements.
• Develop proposals in response to request for proposal (RFP) and / or developing work scope based on clients’ needs.
• Participate in software development and testing of new software releases
