Senior Transmission Planning Engineer - Stability Studies

Ready to make a difference?

We are a relentlessly client-focused group re-imagining, re-designing, and re-engineering the way electric utilities tackle industry problems. Our transmission planning team delivers technically rigorous power system studies and strategic planning support to utilities, developers, and grid operators navigating one of the most dynamic periods in the history of the electric grid — from large-scale renewable interconnection and large load growth to FERC-driven transmission reform.

• Quality of life:
  Flexible workplace arrangements, work-life balance
• Investment in the community:
  Donation matching, volunteer opportunities
• Investment in you:
  Tuition reimbursement, access to professional development resources, 401k matching, Employee Stock Purchase Plan
• And many, many more (Ask your recruiter for more details!)

You are a technically deep power system stability engineer with a track record of leading complex stability and dynamic simulation studies from kickoff through final deliverable. You build, validate, and interpret dynamic models for conventional generation, inverter-based resources, and battery storage, and you can explain what the results mean for grid reliability. Experience with steady-state power flow and contingency analysis for transmission planning is a strong complement.

You take ownership of your work and your clients. You move fluidly between dynamic studies, interconnection processes, and steady-state analysis without losing the thread.

Lead transient stability and dynamic simulation studies for utility planning and interconnection work using PSS/E, PSLF, and TSAT, evaluating conventional generation, inverter-based resources (I ), and battery energy storage systems (BESS)
Develop, review, validate, and tune dynamic models, including generic renewable models (e.g., WECC) and user-defined models, through model quality tests such as flat-start, step-response, and fault ride-through checks

Assess stability performance against NERC TPL-001 and regional planning criteria and PRC-024/PRC-029 ride-through requirements, including voltage recovery, damping and oscillatory behavior, and critical clearing times

Perform voltage stability (PV/QV), weak-grid, and short-circuit-ratio screening, and coordinate with electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies where needed

Perform NERC reliability standards studies and assessments, including TPL-001 stability analysis and MOD-026/027/032/033 model verification and validation

Lead the stability portion of generation and large-load interconnection impact studies, including feasibility, facilities, and cluster/serial study processes across CAISO, MISO, PJM, ERCOT, WECC, and other regional footprints

Serve as technical lead or study manager on transmission planning engagements, owning scope, schedule, quality, and client relationship

Develop Python-based automation and tooling to improve study execution efficiency, model management, and output quality

Support steady-state load flow and contingency analysis (PSS/E, PSLF, Power World) for utility transmission planning and interconnection studies

Support long-range transmission expansion planning, including load growth, generation retirement, and renewable buildout scenarios and FERC Order 1920 and Order 2023 compliance work Author and QA technical study reports for regulatory filings, client deliverables, and interconnection submissions

Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through technical review, guidance, and day-to-day collaboration

Participate in business development through proposal writing, scope development, client presentations, and identification of new opportunities

Track FERC policy, NERC standards, and grid technology trends, such as I  performance requirements, to inform client strategy and internal capability development

BS in Electrical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline, from an ABET-accredited college or university8+ years of experience in power system studies, with a focus on transient stability and dynamic simulation analysis

Hands-on experience performing stability studies and developing or validating dynamic models in PSS/E, PSLF, or equivalent software

Must be located in the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico.

Advanced experience with transient, voltage (PV/QV), and small-signal stability studies, including development, validation,…
