  • Contribute to modernization work on GridOS: containerized deployments, hybrid cloud/on-prem topologies, federated grid data fabric, and Zero Trust security patterns.
  • Participate in agile delivery inside one of the Transmission value stream squads (feature planning, code review, CI/CD, defect triage).
  • Work with product managers, systems engineers, and customer support to translate utility operator requirements into working software.
  • Support field deployments, factory acceptance testing, and customer issue resolution as needed.
  • Grow domain fluency in transmission power systems: state estimation, contingency analysis, AGC/LFC, voltage/VAR control, WAMS, and market interfaces.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Foundational proficiency in at least one modern language used across the AEMS stack (C++, C#, Java, Python, or TypeScript/JavaScript).
