A Snapshot of Your Day

The Senior Expert RTDS will use his/her technical background and expertise to develop sophisticated real-time digital simulation models for power system studies, with a specialized focus on HVDC applications and grid integration challenges. Later, he/she will review and validate complex RTDS models that solve specific challenges of modern power systems incorporating high levels of power electronics and converter-based technologies. In between meetings, he/she will present virtually to new clients our RTDS-based simulation capabilities and consulting offerings.

Finally, the Senior Expert will review the progress of several RTDS modeling engagements under his/her oversight and check status vs. planned workplan.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Overseeing the development and validation of RTDS models for HVDC systems, grid integration studies, and real-time simulation applications.
• Supporting the creation of detailed RTDS models for power electronic devices, HVDC converters, renewable generation, and storage integration into AC grids.
• Leading analyses of electromagnetic transients, converter control interactions, harmonic phenomena, and protection system behavior using advanced RTDS capabilities.
• Managing RTDS consulting engagements from initiation to completion, coordinating with engineers, modeling specialists, and sub-contractors in diverse environments.
• Engaging in business development by identifying RTDS market opportunities, developing technical proposals, and building execution teams.
• Presenting RTDS simulation results and technical findings to clients, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities while mentoring junior team members in modeling and consulting practices.

What You Bring

• University degree in electrical power engineering (M.Sc. or Ph.D. preferred)
• 8 or more years of extensive professional experience in real-time digital simulation and power system modeling, particularly in HVDC applications. Candidates with more experience can be considered for a higher level or vice-versa.
• Expertise in RTDS hardware/software with advanced knowledge of RSCAD modeling, real-time simulation principles, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and integration with physical hardware for closed-loop applications.
• Extensive experience in VSC-HVDC systems including converter control, DC grid applications, power system protection, and grid codes, with a proven track record of RTDS-based testing, validation, and successful implementations.
• Strong understanding of power system dynamics including electromagnetic transients, converter-based technologies, and grid integration challenges, with deep knowledge of real-time simulation requirements for modern power systems.
• Proven consulting and communication skills demonstrated through successful RTDS projects, business development activities, and the ability to clearly convey complex technical concepts and strategies while managing client relationships.
