## About the Role

Education: A Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline is required.

Experience: Extensive experience performing Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) studies and analyzing power system planning or transmission and distribution environments is required. Experience working with inverter-based resources, DERs, BESS, or renewable technologies is necessary.

Technical Skills: Proficient hands-on capability with PSCAD and PSS/E is required, including the ability to translate, convert, or compare models between these platforms. Strong troubleshooting skills are necessary to independently interpret study results and distinguish between grid, model, and control-system issues., * Experience with distribution-level or transmission-level EMT applications and integrated system planning.

 * Familiarity with Synergi Electric or PRIZM software.
 * Experience conducting torsional interaction studies or post-event grid disturbance analysis.
 * Proficiency in PSCAD/Python automation.
 * Experience validating models against commissioning or as-built system data.
 * Experience reviewing third-party or consultant-produced EMT studies.

## Description

An experienced Senior Power Systems Engineer is required to support a large and expanding Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) study workload across distribution and transmission systems. This role involves performing detailed PSCAD and EMT analysis to address an extensive backlog of studies, improve overall turnaround times, and provide critical technical guidance on identified system issues. The selected professional will independently execute studies, interpret complex simulation results, troubleshoot abnormal system behavior, and recommend effective mitigation strategies to support the development of robust internal engineering capabilities., * Develop, convert, execute, and review comprehensive PSCAD and EMT studies.

 * Translate, compare, and validate models between PSS/E and PSCAD platforms.
 * Perform detailed EMT analysis for inverter-based resources (IBRs), distributed energy resources (DERs), battery energy storage systems (BESS), renewable generation, and large loads.
 * Analyze grid stability, reliability, and dynamic system behavior under various operating conditions.
 * Distinguish between grid, model, and control-system issues when analyzing abnormal simulation results.
 * Recommend technical mitigation strategies and system modifications based on engineering analysis.
 * Manage engineering studies end-to-end, from initial model development through final technical recommendation.
 * Provide technical guidance, mentoring, and knowledge transfer to engineering staff to build internal EMT expertise.
 * Contribute to the development of standardized and repeatable EMT study workflows.
