.

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Electrical Modeling and Simulation Engineer to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, validating, and optimizing electrical models and simulations for various electrical systems and products. This role requires a strong understanding of electrical engineering principles and proficiency with Matlab / Simulink simulation tools. PSCAD experience is a plus.

The candidate will work directly with customers and internal design teams to understand and define the problem statement and scope of work.

The role involves model development, simulation and analysis, design optimization, validation and testing, collaboration across cross‑functional teams, direct customer engagement, documentation, continuous improvement, and specialized expertise in power electronic converters, control algorithms, machine learning techniques, SIL/HIL, and more.

• Develop and maintain detailed electrical models for components and systems using Matlab / Simulink.
• Conduct simulations to predict behavior and performance of electrical systems under various conditions; analyze results to identify issues and optimize designs.
• Collaborate with design teams to integrate simulation results into the design process and propose design modifications.
• Validate simulation models through experimental testing and correlation with real‑world data.
• Work closely with cross‑functional teams—including mechanical engineers, software developers, and product managers—to ensure seamless integration of electrical systems.
• Work directly with customers and their engineering teams to solve problems through accurate models of the customer’s facility and predict future performance through “what if” simulations.
• Maintain detailed documentation of models, simulation procedures, and results; prepare technical reports and presentations for upper management and project teams.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in modeling and simulation technologies and implement new tools and techniques to improve accuracy and efficiency.
• Apply knowledge of power electronic converters, feedback control algorithms, machine learning techniques, SIL, HIL to optimize design and prepare the design for handoff to development teams.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (Master’s preferred).
• 3+ years of related experience.
• Thorough understanding of 3‑phase power systems.
• Thorough understanding of power electronic converters (rectifiers, inverters, dc/dc converters).
• Proficiency with Matlab / Simulink.
• Experience with PSCAD is a plus.
• Proficiency developing control algorithms in C/C++.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, including troubleshooting circuit boards, wiring, sensors, and firmware.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment.
• Ability to work with unclear requirements for first‑of‑kind tasks or problems.
• Basic knowledge of machine learning techniques using Python, PyTorch, or equivalent.

• Plan and manage daily, weekly, monthly work.
• Present results to leadership and customers.
• Meet goals and objectives as outlined by business leaders.

• Safety
• Integrity
