Job Description
- Job Description:
- Collect the required data and develop fundamental methods and software tools and interfaces required to support large scale electric system capacity expansion.
- Develop the generalized frameworks to link capacity expansion models (CEM), such as GenX and ReEDS, and production cost models (PCM), such as SiennaOps.
- Develop automated workflows to estimate maximum power flow transfer constraints between any arbitrary set of aggregated spatial regions (or 'zones').
- Work towards automating transmission network designs to enable generation interconnections and transmission capacity augmentations consistent with results from CEMs and develop methods for automated downscaling of zonal CEM results to a nodal PCM for further reliability analysis.
- Requirements:
- Relevant PhD.
- Or, relevant Master's Degree and 3 or more years of experience.
- Or, relevant Bachelor's Degree and 5 or more years of experience.
- Demonstrates broad understanding and wide application of engineering technical procedures, principles, theories and concepts in the field.
- General knowledge of other related disciplines.
- Demonstrates leadership in one or more areas of team, task or project lead responsibilities.
- Demonstrated experience in management of projects.
- Very good writing, interpersonal and communication skills.
- Domain knowledge of bulk power system modeling, such as capacity expansion, resource adequacy, and/or production cost modeling.
- Demonstrated understanding of power systems and power flow modeling fundamentals.
- Demonstrated experience in optimization modeling, including proficiency with a programming language such as GAMS, Python, and/or Julia.
- Experience with working with large data sets.
- An interest in power system issues.
- Strong written and oral communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work independently and in team settings.
- Preferred bulk power system domain knowledge about investment/planning processes, grid operations, markets, regulatory processes, etc.
- Experience with software engineering practices, including version control systems, automated testing frameworks, and continuous integration pipelines.
- Deep familiarity with using and developing Sienna for power systems modeling.
- Benefits:
- medical, dental, and vision insurance
- short- and long-term disability insurance
- pension benefits
- 403(b) Employee Savings Plan with employer match
- life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance
- personal time off (PTO) and sick leave
- paid holidays
- tuition reimbursement
