Principal Power Systems Engineer

Location: Remote

• Education: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from an ABET-accredited institution. A Master’s degree with a power systems focus is a plus.
• Experience: 10+ years of direct, hands-on experience performing power systems engineering for heavy industrial facilities or utility-scale renewable energy installations.
• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license in good standing. Ability to secure multi-state licensure via NCEES comity is highly preferred.
• Software Proficiency: Power user capabilities in SKM Power*Tools and/or ETAP. Proficiency with AutoCAD for remote collaboration, review, and development of single-lines, three-lines, and physical layouts.
• Technical Mastery:
  • Deep understanding of MV/LV switchgear, circuit breaker ratings, bus bar designs, and instrument transformer scaling (CT/PT metrics).
  • Comprehensive grasp of selective coordination principles, time-current curves (TCCs), cable damage curves, and transformer damage curves.
  • Familiarity with utility interconnection handbooks and industrial codes (NEC/NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, IEEE Color Books series, NESC).
• Remote Work Capabilities: Self-motivated and highly organized. Proven ability to work independently, manage deliverables across multiple time zones, and maintain strong communication using digital collaboration tools (Teams, Slack, etc.).

• Power System Modeling & Analysis: Lead and execute advanced power system studies—including short-circuit, load flow, motor starting, transient stability, and arc flash hazard evaluations—utilizing industry-standard analytical software (e.g., SKM Power*Tools, ETAP) in a remote collaborative environment.
• Protection & Coordination Design: Design, model, and calculate settings for complex selective protective coordination and equipment protection schemes. Formulate and implement settings for modern microprocessor-based relays, ensuring proper handling of ungrounded delta configurations (overvoltage detection), impedance-grounded, and solidly grounded systems.
• Equipment Specification & Engineering: Author detailed technical procurement specifications and single-line/three-line drawings for LV/MV switchgear, power transformers, motor control centers (MCCs), and utility interconnect equipment. Review and approve vendor drawings, submittals, and factory acceptance testing (FAT) protocols.
• Renewables & Industrial Integration: Lead electrical engineering design strategies for integrating utility-scale renewables (Solar PV, BESS, microgrids) or major industrial infrastructure. Navigate interconnect requirements, utility regulations, and multi-breaker protection challenges (e.g., complex lockout/86 relay topology).
• Technical Authority & Mentorship: Act as the primary corporate engineering authority during project inception, feasibility studies, and detailed design phases. Provide remote mentorship to mid-level and junior electrical engineers, refining engineering standards and design templates across the department.
• Focused Site Support (Up to 10% Travel): Travel occasionally to participate in critical face-to-face milestones, such as major equipment Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), critical site commissioning, or essential physical field validations.
