Our client is a venture-backed clean energy technology startup to accelerate the interconnection of new generation sources and large-scale loads to the US electrical grid. 

• Build and execute shadow interconnection studies within major US Independent System Operators (ISOs) and utilities, with an initial emphasis on PJM and WECC regions.
• Replicate utility load flow, contingency, and short-circuit studies directly from posted grid models and public study reports.
• Simulate and test variations in project outcomes under alternative transmission queue assumptions and scenario parameters.
• Perform comprehensive transmission planning modeling—including power flow analysis—using power system simulation tools such as PSS/E, PSLF, PowerWorld, ASPEN OneLiner, or TARA.
• Evaluate and report the technical impacts of incorporating new generation facilities onto local and regional transmission grids.

• Serve as the technical domain expert for internal power systems engineering and analysis.
• Collaborate closely with software engineering teams to automate modeling workflows, optimize data pipelines, and improve tool accuracy.

• Experience: 3+ years of experience performing or supporting power system interconnection studies for electric utilities, project developers, or renewable energy firms.
• Core Software Mastery: Hands-on proficiency with PSS/E and PowerWorld.
• Technical Studies: Demonstrated capability in executing load flow/thermal overload, voltage stability, and short-circuit analyses.
• Domain Expertise: In-depth grasp of bulk power grid modeling, transmission system planning, and utility interconnection approval processes.
• Working Style: Strong technical communication skills and the ability to operate autonomously within a fast-moving, high-growth startup environment.

• Advanced Tooling: Familiarity with TARA and PSLF.
• Regional Standards: Working knowledge of PJM and/or NV Energy (WECC) interconnection procedures, tariff standards, and study methodologies.
