TL;DR · Grid Integration Engineer II

The Grid Integration Engineer II supports grid integration, advanced modeling, and interconnection engineering activities for generation, transmission, and large-load development projects. This role involves performing technical evaluations to ensure grid-code compliance, system performance validation, and inverter-based resource integration across multiple ISO/RTO markets. Day-to-day responsibilities include reviewing electromagnetic transient studies, conducting power flow and stability analyses, coordinating with OEMs and consultants, and developing conceptual designs for substations and transmission upgrades. The candidate will utilize technical tools such as PSS/E, PowerWorld, PSLF, or PSCAD to perform modeling, while potentially utilizing Python or MATLAB for automation. The role addresses complex challenges in grid stability, dynamic load behavior, and the integration of large-scale power infrastructure into existing networks while navigating evolving regulatory standards and reliability requirements within the energy sector.

What you'll do

  • Perform technical analysis to support grid integration and interconnection activities for generation and large-load projects.
  • Review ISO/RTO electromagnetic transient studies and provide technical evaluations of study results.
  • Conduct advanced power system modeling including power flow, stability, and electromagnetic transient (EMT) analysis.
  • Evaluate grid-code compliance requirements for inverter-based resources and system performance during disturbances.
  • Perform engineering evaluations for data center and large-load projects regarding dynamic load behavior and grid stability.
  • Coordinate with internal teams and external consultants to develop system models and perform reliability studies.
  • Develop conceptual designs for interconnection facilities, substations, and transmission upgrades.
  • Interpret ISO/RTO market rules and provide technical support to evaluate grid integration opportunities and constraints.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in Power Systems.
  • 2 to 6+ years of experience in power system analysis, transmission planning, interconnection studies, or grid integration engineering.
  • Experience with power system simulation tools such as PSS/E, PowerWorld, PSLF, PSCAD, or equivalent software.
  • Knowledge of ISO/RTO interconnection processes and transmission planning frameworks.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and data analysis tools.
  • Understanding of FERC and NERC reliability standards related to transmission and generation interconnections is preferred.
  • Experience with Python, MATLAB, or other scripting tools for modeling or automation is preferred.
