R&D Analyst/Engineer
About the role
withcontaining that description. - "NOTE: This role is currently located in Windsor, CT until it permanently moves to Holyoke, MA, which is currently expected to occur in 2028." This is location info; could be part of About the role or maybe Schedule? It's location, not schedule. Could be included in About the role paragraph. - "What We Offer You" then bullet list: stable mission-driven workplace, highly engaged work environment, competitive compensation with base salary + performance bonus, robust benefits package including: Enhanced 401(k) and financial planning support, Tuition reimbursement and professional development, Wellness programs, including an onsite gym, Flexible work hours, Employee Business Networks, Onsite luncheon spaces with free coffee and a variety of dining options, Hybrid work environment (3 days/week onsite), Distance-based relocation assistance available. That's benefits and maybe pay. We'll separate: Benefits section for list of benefits (excluding compensation). Pay section for salary range and bonus. - "How you will make an Impact" then bullet list of responsibilities. That's Responsibilities. - "What we are looking for" then bullet list of qualifications, experience, skills. That's Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. We need to decide sections: maybe Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (specific experience), Skills (quantitative etc). But we can combine if content thin. However we have enough to split. Let's parse: Education/Experience: "M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical field, plus 2+ years of relevant experience; or Bachelor’s degree in a related technical field plus 5+ years of relevant experience." Experience: "2+ years of experience in power system planning/research, including optimization, probabilistic resource and energy adequacy assessment, and/or production cost (economic dispatch) simulation." Skills: "Strong quantitative and data analysis skills, including working with large, complex datasets to identify trends, drivers, and sensitivities. Demonstrated ability to work independently, lead workstreams, and collaborate effectively in a team environment. Knowledge of planning and operating criteria/standards and the reliability framework (e.g., ISO/RTO practices, NERC, NPCC)." Also note visa sponsorship statement: "This employer will not sponsor applicants for work visas for this position (ex: H-1B, F-1/CPT/OPT, O-1, E-3, TN, J, etc.)." That's a requirement but maybe we can include in Requirements? It's a condition. We'll include as part of Requirements. Pay: "The expected salary range for an R&D Analyst/Engineer is $100,000 - $135,000 per year. We will also consider a Senior or Lead. The pay range for the those levels is $135,000 - $180,000 annually. This role is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental and vision), flexible spending and health savings accounts, a 401(k) plan with generous employer contributions and a student debt benefit, life and AD&D insurance, disability insurance, critical illness and hospital indemnity benefits, paid time off, paid leave, a wellness program, an employee assistance program and other great company perks." But note some of those are benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc). The earlier "What We Offer You" already listed benefits like Enhanced 401(k), tuition reimbursement, wellness programs, flexible work hours, employee business networks, onsite luncheon spaces, hybrid work, relocation assistance. The later paragraph repeats some benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc). We need to preserve all substantive info, not duplicate? We should not repeat duplicated lines. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should avoid duplicating same benefit statements. We need to combine unique benefits. Let's list unique benefits from both sections: From "What We Offer You": - stable, mission-driven workplace where your impact truly matters - highly engaged work environment that values inclusion, collaboration, and employee safety and wellbeing - competitive compensation with a base salary + performance bonus - robust benefits package, including: - Enhanced 401(k) and financial planning support - Tuition reimbursement and professional development - Wellness programs, including an onsite gym - Flexible work hours - Employee Business Networks - Onsite luncheon spaces with free coffee and a variety of dining options - Hybrid work environment (3 days/week onsite) - Distance-based relocation assistance available From later Pay paragraph: - annual performance bonus (already mentioned) - comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental and vision) - flexible spending and health savings accounts - a 401(k) plan with generous employer contributions and a student debt benefit (note similar to Enhanced 401(k) but adds student debt benefit) - life and AD&D insurance - disability insurance - critical illness and hospital indemnity benefits - paid time off - paid leave - a wellness program (already mentioned) - an employee assistance program - other great company perks We need to avoid duplication: performance bonus already mentioned; wellness program already; 401(k) plan mentioned but we have Enhanced 401(k) and financial planning support; we can combine. Thus Benefits section should list all unique benefits: stable mission-driven workplace, highly engaged work environment, competitive compensation (base salary + performance bonus), enhanced 401(k) and financial planning support, tuition reimbursement and professional development, wellness programs (onsite gym), flexible work hours, employee business networks, onsite luncheon spaces with free coffee and variety of dining options, hybrid work environment (3 days/week onsite), distance-based relocation assistance, comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, vision), flexible spending and health savings accounts, life and AD&D insurance, disability insurance, critical illness and hospital indemnity benefits, paid time off, paid leave, employee assistance program, other great company perks. We could also mention student debt benefit as part of 401(k) plan. Pay section: salary ranges: $100,000 - $135,000 for R&D Analyst/Engineer; $135,000 - $180,000 for Senior/Lead; plus annual performance bonus. Schedule: The posting mentions hybrid work environment (3 days/week onsite) and flexible work hours. That's schedule info. Also location note about Windsor, CT until move to Holyoke, MA in 2028. That's location not schedule. But schedule could be hybrid and flexible hours. We'll create Schedule section with that info. About the role: include intro paragraphs about ISO New England, Planning Services Development & Solutions, note about location move. Responsibilities: the "How you will make an Impact" bullet list. Requirements: education/experience plus visa sponsorship note? Might be better as Requirements. Qualifications: maybe the specific experience in power system planning/research. Skills: quantitative/data analysis, ability to work independently/lead, knowledge of planning criteria. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler text. All sections have content. Now produce HTML: use
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must not include or . Just fragment.
Let's craft.
First, About the role:
ISO New England is the independent system operator responsible for ensuring the safe and reliable flow of electricity in the region and planning for the future of the electric grid. The Planning Services Development & Solutions team develops the tools, modeling frameworks, and market design analytics that enable ISO New England and regional stakeholders to plan for resource and energy adequacy amid decarbonization, electrification, emerging technologies, evolving public policy, and shifting demand. This role is currently located in Windsor, CT until it permanently moves to Holyoke, MA, expected in 2028.
That's good.
Responsibilities: list from "How you will make an Impact". Let's extract bullet points:
- Assess future system needs, including locational and temporal reliability trends, and evaluate how different technologies contribute to capacity value, flexibility, and energy adequacy.
- Lead research on optimal future resource mix development using optimization and scenario analysis (multi objective reliability/cost/emissions/flexibility; technology portfolios under uncertainty; long term planning under deep decarbonization).
- Propose, analyze, and communicate market design improvements; run simulations/what if studies to quantify impacts; and lead stakeholder discussions to align modeling approaches with real world outcomes.
- Lead and/or provide technical direction for comprehensive assessments of resource capacity and energy adequacy (e.g., LOLE, EEU, risk metrics) for the New England power system.
- Develop and implement innovative modeling techniques to represent emerging supply- and demand-side resources (renewables, storage, DERs, demand response, electrification) in probabilistic reliability assessments.
- Enhance and modernize resource adequacy models, assumptions, and datasets to reflect changing system conditions, operating practices, and policy/regulatory drivers.
- Define enhancements and new functionality for reliability, resource, and demand models; partner with software vendors and internal teams to implement, validate, and document improvements.
- Benchmark and evaluate alternative analytical tools and methodologies (resource adequacy, capacity accreditation, production cost/economic dispatch) to strengthen planning and market studies.
- Provide project and technical leadership across internal teams, external stakeholders, and regional planning organizations; present findings in clear, decision ready formats for technical and non technical audiences.
We'll put each as - .
Requirements: education/experience plus visa note.
M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical field, plus 2+ years of relevant experience; or Bachelor’s degree in a related technical field plus 5+ years of relevant experience.
2+ years of experience in power system planning/research, including optimization, probabilistic resource and energy adequacy assessment, and/or production cost (economic dispatch) simulation.
This employer will not sponsor applicants for work visas for this position (e.g., H-1B, F-1/CPT/OPT, O-1, E-3, TN, J, etc.).
Qualifications: maybe we can treat the specific experience as qualifications, but we already used that. Could combine. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (quantitative etc). The visa note could be in Requirements.
Let's define:
Requirements: education/experience + visa note.
Qualifications: maybe none left? Could skip Qualifications section if no distinct content. But we have "Knowledge of planning and operating criteria/standards and the reliability framework (e.g., ISO/RTO practices, NERC, NPCC)." That's more skill/knowledge.
Skills: quantitative/data analysis, ability to work independently/lead, knowledge of planning criteria.
Thus we can have:
Requirements (education/experience + visa)
Skills (quantitative, leadership, knowledge)
We could also add a Qualifications section for the specific power system planning experience, but that could be part of Requirements. To avoid thin sections, we can combine education/experience and specific experience into Requirements.
Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Check if any section missing: maybe we need Qualifications but we can
