Power Systems Engineer

Job Title: Power Systems Engineer
Remote Role
Duration: 12+ months

Job Summary
Client is seeking a highly motivated Power Systems Engineer to support an innovation initiative focused on substantially accelerating Transmission and Distribution planning tools using GPU technology. This role will be responsible for modeling and converting existing Transmission and Distribution network models currently developed in CYME and GE PSLF into pandapower-based Python models, working with NVIDIA resources and performing steady county powerflow analysis for these models using GPUs and CUDA libraries. The ideal candidate combines strong power systems fundamentals, hands-on experience with planning tools, and programming skills, and is excited to work at the intersection of power engineering and high-performance computing.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop Transmission and Distribution network models using pandapower (Python)
• Convert and validate existing network models from CYME and GE PSLF into pandapower equivalents
• Ensure electrical fidelity between source models and converted models (topology, parameters, limits, results)
• Work with engineers in developing Powerflow analysis solution using GPUs and CUDA libraries
• Collaborate with power systems engineers, data scientists, and GPU/HPC specialists to enable GPU-accelerated simulations
• Assist in benchmarking CPU vs GPU performance for power system studies
• Document modeling assumptions, validation results, and technical findings for internal and executive audiences

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems focus preferred)
• Strong foundation in power system analysis, including:
  • Power flow (AC/DC)
  • Transmission and Distribution modeling
  • Per-unit systems and network parameters
• Hands-on experience with power system planning tools

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Transmission Planning and/or Distribution Planning studies
• Understanding of power system matrices (Y?bus, Jacobian, PTDF/LODF)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly
• Familiarity with pandapower or other open-source power system frameworks (strong plus)
• Ability to work with large-scale network models and complex datasets
