Systems Studies Engineer II

About the role

Leading the Future of Power Studies! As a Systems Studies Engineer, you will perform power systems engineering studies in the areas of electromagnetic transients, load flow, short-circuit, transient stability, control design, equipment application, and other transmission and distribution (T&D) areas. Maintain, enhance, and apply knowledge of concepts, technology, and regulations in the power systems field.

Responsibilities

• Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) Analysis: Conduct insulation coordination, harmonic, short-circuit, and grounding studies for T&D systems, including FACTS, HVDC, and converter-based resources.
• Grid Stability & Planning: Execute load flow, transient stability, reactive planning, and generator interconnection studies.
• Modern Energy Resources: Perform specialized studies on renewables, distributed energy resources (DER), battery energy storage (BESS), and grid modernization.
• System Protection: Utilize software for relay and protection studies and performance monitoring.
• Testing & Validation: Support generator testing and the development of simulation models validated against industry standards.
• Technical Judgment: Condition models and evaluate simulation outputs based on expected system capabilities and equipment operations.
• Parameter Estimation: Estimate equipment parameters using known values or provide critical feedback when data quality is questionable.
• Engineered Processes: Apply structured, engineered processes through all stages of a study to ensure consistency and quality.
• Technical Reporting: Prepare and present reports for internal and external clients, maintaining high standards for grammar, formatting, and minimal re-work.
• Industry Knowledge: Maintain and apply an understanding of the evolution of standards, orders, guidelines, and tariffs.
• Technical Publication: Prepare papers and articles for professional journals, trade magazines, and presentations at industry conferences.
• Cross-Divisional Support: Assist with study initiatives for other MEPPI departments and divisions.
• Vendor & Consultant Interaction: Conduct business in a timely, cooperative manner to further the professional image of the Power Systems Engineering Division (PSED).
• Policy Stewardship: Maintain a thorough knowledge of MEPPI's Quality, Safety, and Environmental Policies and their direct impact on engineering work.
