[Remote] Measurement-Based Grid Monitoring Analytics and Control Engineer – Staff Level III

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is hiring an engineer in its Transmission Operations and Planning R&D group to advance measurement-based grid monitoring, analytics, control, modeling, and simulation. The role conducts research and technical analyses supporting reliable power-system operation and planning, develops methods and software tools, and communicates findings to members and industry stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Develop advanced methods, algorithms, and software tools for synchrophasor-based applications supporting real-time transmission system operations, including oscillation monitoring and control, inertia estimation, situational awareness, and wide-area monitoring applications
• Conduct modeling, simulation, and analysis of large-scale power systems with high penetrations of inverter-based resources and emerging load technologies
• Perform power system dynamic studies using electromechanical simulation tools such as PSS®E and electromagnetic transients simulation tools such as PSCAD
• Analyze field-recorded measurement data and support event, disturbance, and post-contingency investigations using advanced analytical techniques
• Conduct technical literature reviews and assess state-of-the-art and emerging technologies related to wide-area monitoring, protection, and control systems
• Support the development, configuration, and execution of real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing environments
• Develop software applications and automation tools to support power system analytics, modeling, and research activities
• Prepare technical reports, journal papers, conference papers, presentations, and research deliverables for EPRI members and stakeholders
• Support technical research leads in assessing member needs, developing technical approaches, preparing proposals, and planning future research activities
• Present technical work at industry meetings, conferences, technical workshops, and EPRI events
• Collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary research teams while maintaining the ability to execute technical work independently
• Manage multiple project assignments and technical deadlines while maintaining high-quality deliverables

Skills

• Experience conducting research, modeling, and simulation studies related to power system dynamics, stability, and control
• Strong expertise in power system dynamics, stability analysis, and control
• Demonstrated expertise in synchrophasor technology, measurement systems, and associated grid applications
• Experience with electromechanical dynamics simulation platforms
• Experience with electromagnetic transient simulation platforms
• Knowledge of modeling and analysis of inverter-based resources and power-electronic-interfaced technologies
• Familiarity with real-time simulation platforms and hardware-in-the-loop methodologies
• Strong programming capabilities
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, technical writing, and presentation skills
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within collaborative technical teams
• Demonstrated capability to manage multiple technical priorities and project deliverables
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field with a concentration in power systems
• Master's degree with relevant industry and research experience may be considered
• Preferably PSS®E
• Preferably PSCAD
• Preferably including Python, MATLAB, and C++

Benefits

• Eligible to participate in EPRI’s annual incentive program (amount varies and is subject to the plan’s terms and conditions).
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k).
• Short- and long-term disability (STD/LTD).
• Paid family leave.
• Life and accident insurance.
• Paid time off, including flexible vacation, sick leave, and holiday pay.
