Senior Consultant - Real-Time Digital Simulation (RTDS)

About the role

The Senior Expert RTDS will develop and validate sophisticated real-time digital simulation models for power system studies, focusing on HVDC applications and grid integration challenges. They will also lead presentations to new clients on RTDS-based simulation capabilities and consulting offerings.

Responsibilities

• Oversee the development and validation of RTDS models for HVDC systems, grid integration studies, and real-time simulation applications.
• Create detailed RTDS models for power electronic devices, HVDC converters, renewable generation, and storage integration into AC grids.
• Analyze electromagnetic transients, converter control interactions, harmonic phenomena, and protection system behavior using advanced RTDS capabilities.
• Manage RTDS consulting engagements from initiation to completion, coordinating with engineers, modeling specialists, and sub-contractors in diverse environments.
• Engage in business development by identifying RTDS market opportunities, developing technical proposals, and building execution teams.
• Present RTDS simulation results and technical findings to clients, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities while mentoring junior team members in modeling and consulting practices.

Requirements

University degree in electrical power engineering (M.Sc. or Ph.D. preferred), 8 or more years of extensive professional experience in real-time digital simulation and power system modeling, particularly in HVDC applications.

Expertise in RTDS hardware/software with advanced knowledge of RSCAD modeling, real-time simulation principles, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and integration with physical hardware for closed-loop applications.

Extensive experience in VSC-HVDC systems including converter control, DC grid applications, power system protection, and grid codes, with a proven track record of RTDS-based testing, validation, and successful implementations.

Strong understanding of power system dynamics including electromagnetic transients, converter-based technologies, and grid integration challenges, with deep knowledge of real-time simulation requirements for modern power systems.

Proven consulting and communication skills demonstrated through successful RTDS projects, business development activities, and the ability to clearly convey complex technical concepts and strategies while managing client relationships.

Travel, as needed (~10%).
