As a Power Systems Study Engineer III, you will play a key role in delivering advanced electrical engineering studies for hyperscale data centers and other mission-critical facilities. You will independently conduct complex power system analyses, ensuring electrical infrastructure is reliable, efficient, and compliant with applicable safety standards. Your responsibilities will include load flow studies, short-circuit analysis, protection coordination, arc flash assessments, and equipment evaluations. Working alongside multidisciplinary engineering and project management teams, you will contribute technical expertise throughout the project lifecycle. You will also support project planning, technical reporting, quality reviews, and the development of innovative engineering solutions. This fully remote opportunity offers the chance to work on sophisticated infrastructure projects while advancing your expertise in power systems engineering.
Power Systems Studies: Independently perform advanced electrical power system studies for mission-critical projects, evaluating system performance, reliability, safety, and equipment capabilities.
Electrical Equipment Evaluation: Assess the ratings, operating capabilities, and condition of electrical equipment, including transformers, circuit breakers, capacitors, and other power distribution components, to verify their suitability for system requirements.
Load Flow Analysis: Analyze existing and projected electrical loads to evaluate power distribution performance, identify potential overload conditions, and ensure adequate system capacity.
Short-Circuit Analysis: Perform short-circuit studies to evaluate potential fault conditions, determine system response, and verify that electrical equipment ratings are appropriate for anticipated fault levels.
Protection Coordination: Evaluate protective device settings, including relays, circuit breakers, and fuses, to ensure proper coordination, reliable fault isolation, and effective system protection.
Arc Flash Analysis: Conduct arc flash studies to assess electrical hazards, calculate incident energy levels, and develop appropriate safety recommendations and protective equipment requirements.
Transient Stability Analysis: Evaluate power system stability under significant disturbances, including electrical faults, sudden load changes, and motor-starting events, to assess the system's ability to maintain stable operation.
Technical Deliverables: Prepare and review incremental and final engineering deliverables, including breaker setting tables, Time-Current Curves (TCCs), arc flash labels, and comprehensive technical reports in accordance with project requirements.
Engineering Software: Utilize specialized power system analysis tools, including SKM PowerTools, EasyPower, and ETAP, to perform simulations, calculations, and technical assessments.
Project Management Support: Contribute to proposal development by assisting with project scopes, schedules, and budget estimates. Coordinate workloads and ensure engineering deliverables are completed accurately and on schedule.
Project Risk and Scope Management: Identify potential changes in project scope and support the development of strategies to minimize cost deviations, manage risks, and maintain project timelines.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control: Perform technical peer reviews and QA/QC assessments on projects where you are not the lead design engineer or power systems study specialist, ensuring accuracy and consistency across deliverables.
Reporting and Stakeholder Communication: Prepare project progress and technical reports for internal and external stakeholders, communicating findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Technology and Continuous Improvement: Leverage AI-enabled and digital tools to improve engineering efficiency, reduce manual work, and maintain high-quality outputs. Identify opportunities to optimize workflows and adapt to emerging technologies and innovative engineering methods.
Project Delivery: Ensure assigned tasks and deliverables are completed accurately, within established deadlines, and within approved budgets.
Additional Responsibilities: Collaborate with engineering and project leadership teams, support organizational objectives, and perform other related duties as assigned.
