## About the Role

Experience and know-how:

 * 2 to 5 years of professional experience in the power systems industry, including first exposure to HVDC, FACTS or other power-electronic based transmission technologies.
 * Practical experience with at least one EMT simulation tool (PSCAD, EMTP, RTDS or equivalent); doctoral or internship experience in the field is taken into account.
 * Good command of AC/DC power system fundamentals, converter topologies (LCC, VSC/MMC) and their control principles.
 * First experience in network studies such as harmonic analysis, insulation coordination, transient stability or grid connection compliance.
 * Ability to structure a study, document assumptions and present results clearly in English.
 * Rigour, curiosity and the willingness to learn within an experienced team.
 * (Preferred) Scripting skills for simulation automation and data post-processing (Python, MATLAB).
 * (Preferred) Awareness of the standards, grid codes and regulatory requirements applicable to HVDC and renewable integration.

Qualifications:

 * Engineering degree or Masters (MSc - Master of Science) in electrical or power engineering.
 * Doctorate (PhD - Doctor of Philosophy) in a related field appreciated, but not required.

## Description

* Support the review of vendor models, functional specifications and equipment documentation.
 * Participate in real-time simulation and factory test campaigns alongside experienced engineers.
 * Take progressive ownership of study packages, moving towards autonomous delivery under senior supervision.

Activities

 * Model transmission grids and simulate electromagnetic transient phenomena using EMT and real-time simulation tools (PSCAD, EMTP, RTDS).
 * Analyse converter behaviour, control performance and interaction phenomena, and interpret results against grid code requirements.
 * Automate simulation set-up and post-processing (Python, MATLAB) to improve the efficiency and traceability of studies.
 * Contribute to internal R&D, methodology development and the upkeep of the team's modelling libraries.
 * Attend technical meetings with clients, TSOs and vendors together with senior engineers and project managers., * Build deep technical expertise in HVDC and grid integration within a recognised team of specialists.
 * Grow towards autonomous delivery of complex studies and, in time, towards senior and lead engineering roles.
 * Contribute to landmark European transmission projects supporting the energy transition.
 * Learn from, and add to, the collective know-how of the RTEi Group.
