# Senior Power Systems Engineer - HVDC & Grid Integration

- **Company:** RTE
- **Location:** Jonage, France
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Systems Integration, Modeling and Simulation
- **Published:** September 9, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=7aad90f8fbcf53ee

## About the Role

Experience and know-how:

 * 5+ years of professional experience in the power systems industry, with a strong focus on HVDC, FACTS or other power-electronic based transmission technologies.
 * Proven expertise in power system modelling and simulation, particularly using EMT tools (e.g. PSCAD, EMTP, RTDS).
 * Solid understanding of converter control and protection strategies, interaction phenomena and system integration challenges.
 * Experience conducting and reviewing network studies (harmonic, transient stability, EMT) for grid connection of HVDC/FACTS or large renewable plants.
 * Demonstrated ability to lead a study package, set the assumptions and defend the results in front of clients and third-party reviewers.
 * Familiarity with project management principles and the execution of complex, multi-stakeholder power infrastructure projects.
 * Ability to engage confidently with clients, vendors and partners, bridging technical depth with clear communication.
 * Knowledge of industry standards, regulatory requirements and grid codes relevant to HVDC and renewable integration.
 * (Preferred) Track record in mentoring engineers or leading small technical teams, showing readiness to grow into a lead role.
 * (Preferred) Exposure to business development activities such as preparing proposals, supporting tenders, or representing the company in client meetings.

Qualifications:

 * Postgraduate studies or Masters (MSc - Master of Science)
 * Doctorate (PhD - Doctor of Philosophy) in a related field appreciated, but not required.

## Description

* Lead study packages: define the technical approach, the modelling assumptions and the validation strategy.
 * Perform and review advanced power system studies (EMT, harmonic, dynamic stability, control interaction) for HVDC and FACTS applications.
 * Review and challenge vendor models, control designs and functional specifications, and contribute to the specification of HVDC/FACTS equipment.
 * Drive technical discussions with clients, TSOs, partners and vendors, ensuring high-quality engineering outcomes.
 * Mentor engineers, review their work and contribute to the development of team know-how and methodologies.
 * Provide technical input to proposals and tenders, and support the positioning of the company in the HVDC market.

Activities

 * Model transmission grids and simulate complex electrical phenomena using electromagnetic transient (EMT) and real-time simulation tools.
 * Analyse the dynamic behaviour of AC/DC converters, including interaction with control and protection systems.
 * Provide strategic technical advice on HVDC integration challenges, including interoperability and interaction phenomena in multi-vendor and multi-terminal schemes.
 * Lead or contribute to real-time simulation and factory acceptance test campaigns using control replica systems.
 * Represent the company at industry events, conferences, working groups and client workshops to strengthen market visibility.
 * Collaborate with project managers and cross-functional teams (engineering, commercial) to secure technical quality and client satisfaction.
