Manager/Director Power System Modeling & Studies

REMOTE Competitive Permanent


Overview
We are seeking a Manager/Director – Power Systems & Technology Integration to play a critical role at the intersection of power system studies and software innovation. This role is designed for a leader who brings deep expertise in transmission planning, generation interconnection, and system modeling, while also collaborating closely with software engineers and product teams to transform complex studies into scalable, tech-enabled solutions.

You’ll guide technical teams, support client projects, and serve as the bridge between traditional engineering practices and modern digital workflows. This is a leadership position for someone who is both a hands-on expert in power systems and a strategic collaborator with technology teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead Power Systems Studies: Oversee steady-state, short circuit, dynamic stability, and interconnection studies, ensuring accuracy and regulatory compliance.

  • Collaborate with Software Teams: Partner with developers and product managers to translate engineering needs into digital tools, automation frameworks, and scalable software solutions.

  • Modeling & Validation: Build, validate, and refine high-quality power system models using industry-standard tools (e.g., PSSE, PowerWorld, PSLF, PSCAD, EMTP).

  • Technical Leadership: Mentor engineers, review technical deliverables, and provide subject matter expertise across multiple ISO/RTO markets (PJM, MISO, ERCOT, SPP, TVA).

  • Innovation & Process Improvement: Explore and apply new methodologies (automation, AI/ML, digitization) to streamline study workflows and increase efficiency.

  • Client & Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a trusted advisor to utilities, developers, regulators, and technology partners, ensuring alignment between project outcomes and client needs.

  • Standardization & Best Practices: Establish internal processes, training, and knowledge-sharing practices to ensure consistency and scalability of study work.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (Master’s or Ph.D. preferred).

  • 10+ years of experience in power system studies, transmission planning, or interconnection (utility, ISO, developer, or consulting).

  • Proficiency with modeling tools such as PSSE, PowerWorld, PSLF, PSCAD, EMTP.

  • Proven track record of technical leadership — guiding teams, mentoring engineers, and engaging with clients.

  • Strong collaboration skills; ability to work effectively with software development teams and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Excellent communication abilities, able to distill complex analyses into clear insights.

  • Strategic mindset, with experience aligning technical work with organizational or client objectives.

  • Willingness to travel up to 25% for client and project engagement.

Preferred Skills

  • Familiarity with automation, data workflows, or AI/ML applications in power system analysis.

  • Exposure to product development cycles or experience collaborating with software/tech teams.

  • Knowledge of inverter-based resource (IBR) modeling and advanced study techniques.

Why Join Us?

  • Impactful Work: Shape how the industry connects power system studies with cutting-edge digital solutions.

  • Leadership Role: Guide engineering teams and influence software-enabled innovation.

  • Collaborative Environment: Work side by side with top engineers, developers, and product leaders.

  • Flexibility: Remote-first, with a culture built around trust and work-life balance.

  • Competitive Package: Strong compensation, benefits, and growth opportunities.
