Senior Modeling Engineer

The Senior Modeling Engineer will support the design, analysis, and validation of EPC Power’s inverter and converter systems through simulation and modeling, especially in the PSCAD environment. This role will focus on building and refining system-level and component-level models, running simulations, and helping interpret results to support product development, customer grid interconnection, and customer studies. This role is focused on supporting Datacenter specific grid interconnection modeling. This position is ideal for a mid-career engineer looking to provide value from day one in power electronics and power systems modeling and simulation.

• Analyze, develop and maintain simulation models for power converters and inverters in the PSCAD environment.
• Develop and validate models for data center and large-load applications, including BESS and converter-based backup and power quality systems.
• Solve issues in customer PSSE parametrization for grid impact studies.
• Collaborate with electrical, controls, and software engineering teams to verify design assumptions and predict system behavior.
• Help customers solve problems and get through their grid interconnection studies for ERCOT, MISO, and other US regions.
• Document modeling methodologies, assumptions, and results to ensure traceability and repeatability.
• Contribute to model improvement, automation, and integration with broader design workflows.
• Interpret the converter firmware for troubleshooting the issues in the modeling.
• Stay current with modeling tools, techniques, and best practices relevant to power electronics, power systems and control systems.
• Track changes to interconnection modeling requirements and grid codes.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 3-5 year of experience  in manufacturing or industrial environments. 
• Fundamental understanding of power electronics, power systems, and control systems.
• At least three years of experience with simulation tools such as PSCAD, PSSE, PowerFactory, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent.
• At least three years of experience with C, C++ and/or Python.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced engineering environment.
•  Must be currently residing in the United States and legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of application; sponsorship may be available for qualified candidates in limited circumstances. 
   

Preferred Qualifications

• Renewable energy industry experience.
• Experience with power systems regulatory compliance and model quality testing. 
• Knowledge of control strategies for power electronics (e.g., current/voltage regulation, PLLs).
• Exposure to embedded systems or control software integration.
• Familiarity with inverter and converter topologies (e.g., DC/DC, DC/AC, multilevel, bidirectional).
• Familiar with typical software development tools and processes [Git/Gitflow, Code Reviews/Agile/Scrum, Testing, Bug/Task tracking Jira/DevOps].
• Experience with scripting and automation (e.g. Python).
