Integration Capacity Analysis (ICA), Engineer 3

Become an Integration Capacity Analysis (ICA) Engineer 3 at Southern California Edison (SCE) and build a better tomorrow. In this job, you’ll lead complex system studies and take ownership of how those studies are performed, including defining assumptions, validating models, and ensuring high-quality outputs. You will play a central role in shaping ICA methodologies and advancing planning approaches by integrating forecasting, scenario analysis, and operational considerations into the work. In parallel, you will also design and enhance ICA engines, tools, and data pipelines, while driving model integrity, data quality improvements, and cross-functional alignment with Distribution Engineering, Interconnection, Regulatory, and IT teams. You will also provide technical leadership by guiding junior engineers, reviewing work products, and setting direction on ambiguous or high-impact initiatives. This work advances distribution system planning by transitioning ICA from a reactive study process to a proactive, forward-looking planning capability aligned with DSP objectives. Tool and methodology development will enable scalable, transparent capacity insights that improve visibility into system constraints for both load and DER interconnections. Ultimately, they will elevate the credibility, usability, and strategic value of ICA as a foundational input to planning, investment, and customer-facing decisions.

As an Integration Capacity Analysis Engineer 3, your work will help power our planet, reduce carbon emissions and create cleaner air for everyone. Are you ready to take on the challenge to help us build the future?
