Lead and perform power system modeling and validation studies to support compliance with NERC standards, including: MOD-025 / MOD-026 / MOD-027: Generator excitation, governor, and plant control model verification MOD-032: Development, verification, and submission of steady-state, dynamics, and short circuit models and associated data PRC-019: Coordination of generating unit or inverter-based resource controls and protection PRC-024: Generator frequency and voltage ride-through PRC-025 / PRC-026: Generator relay loadability and stability
Develop, review, and validate steady-state, dynamic, short-circuit, and electromagnetic transient models for synchronous generators, inverter-based resources (IBR), and associated controls.
Perform generator model validation testing using disturbance data, staged testing results, and simulation benchmarking.
Perform protection-related studies to support relay coordination, equipment duty, and PRC compliance.
Review and prepare technical documentation, compliance reports, and model submittals for utilities, ISOs/RTOs, and regulatory audits.
Provide technical leadership and peer review for junior engineers on NERC modeling, study methods, and best practices.
Interface directly with clients to explain compliance requirements, study results, and mitigation recommendations.

Requirements

BS Degree in Electrical Engineering (MS or PhD in Power Systems preferred)
8+ years of power system planning, protection, or compliance experience in North America
Strong working knowledge of NERC reliability standards, particularly MOD-025/026/027/032 and PRC-019/024/025/026
Extensive experience with PSSE, PSLF, and/or TSAT for steady-state and dynamic modeling and studies
Experience developing and validating generator, excitation system, governor, plant controller, and IBR models
Knowledge of short-circuit and protection studies, including relay loadability and coordination concepts
Experience with ASPEN OneLiner and/or SIEMENS CAPE for short-circuit and protection-related modeling and analysis (strongly preferred)
Familiarity with EMT modeling using PSCAD for protection, control interaction, or IBR-focused studies (preferred)
Ability to interpret field data, relay settings, and test results for model validation and compliance assessments
Experience with Python or similar scripting tools for automation of studies and data processing
Strong technical writing and verbal communication skills, particularly for compliance documentation.
