• Support customers with power systems engineering expertise, including modeling, analysis, equipment design and specification, and failure mode analysis.
,
• Create, modify and parametrize simulation models representing GE Vernova inverter-based resource (IBR) products like wind turbines, solar and battery storage.
,
• Evaluate grid code compliance standards and their impact on renewable energy projects in bulk power systems.
,
• Support development of transmission and distribution connected IBR and distributed energy resource (DER) products for evolving codes and standards through participation in industry standards groups.
,
• Perform power system transient studies, and detailed equipment modeling using appropriate software tools.
,
• Effectively communicate results to both internal and external customers by preparing detailed written reports and presentations describing analyses performed, solutions developed, and customer value propositions.
,
• Enhance industry knowledge and present technical content in regional forums and conferences; serve as a thought leader in industry activities.
,
• Actively participate in a working environment where teamwork, quality, customer service and innovation are important.

Requirements
• Master's degree in electrical engineering or electric power engineering.
,
• Minimum ten (10) years of experience creating and modifying dynamic user models as well as conducting steady state and dynamic analysis in simulation tools like PSS/E, PowerFactory and PSLF.
