Lead utility stability studies using PSS®E: transient stability, voltage stability, .dyr assembly/curation, dynamic model validation, event definitions (faults/clearing times), controls behavior (governor, exciter, PSS), UFLS/UVLS and FIDVR considerations, and mitigation recommendations.
Define study scopes aligned to planning criteria and interconnection processes (e.g., NERC TPL P0–P7, ISO/RTO planning manuals), and present defensible assumptions and results to utility stakeholders.
Mentor and develop junior and mid-level engineers through paired studies, code/study reviews, and structured learning sessions; contribute training materials, templates, and SOPs.
Build repeatable automation with the PSS®E Python API (case prep, batch runs, QA checks, result extraction/plots, and reporting).
Support related steady-state analyses in PSS®E and, as applicable, TARA for transfer limits and contingency screening.
Interface with utilities, RTOs/ISOs, and developers on scoping, progress, and findings; support proposals, level-of-effort estimates, and schedules.
Uphold high standards for model QA (dynamic data vetting, time-step/algorithm settings, convergence safeguards) and documentation quality.
Plan for a meaningful portion of your time (e.g., ~20–30%) spent mentoring and upleveling teammates while still delivering complex stability work
