·         Work on automation archeitecture

·         Effectively communicate to internal customers by preparing detailed written reports and/or presentations describing analyses performed, solutions developed, and customer value propositions.

·         Actively participate in a working environment where teamwork, quality, customer service and innovation are prized

·         Python coding and Agentic Coding using AI

Qualifications/Requirements:

·         Master’s degree or PhD in electrical or electric power engineering, controls engineering or related field of study.

·         General understanding/awareness of power system and control system concepts

·         Understanding of inverter-based electrical equipment

Desired Characteristics:

·         Demonstrated experience in developing control system or control algorithms

·         Demonstrated modeling and technical experience in technical performance analysis of electric power systems with power electronic sources or loads.  Experience in planning and execution of technical projects relevant to electric power systems and equipment design.

·         Expertise in tuning controller to achieve desired performance requirement established in grid codes.

·         Experience with developing model in electromechanical domain like PSS/E, PSLF, PowerFactory etc (for Inverter Based Resource or other Power Electronics based models)
