Senior Hybrid Power Systems Modeling Engineer

MathWorks; Cambridge; Hybrid; GBP 70,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

MathWorks, based in Cambridge, UK, offers a hybrid work model allowing time between the office and home. The Simscape Electrical team develops physical modeling tools used by engineers worldwide to study electrical networks from microgrids to utility-scale grids.

You will contribute to planning, design, development, and testing for power system components within Simscape Electrical, collaborating with a multinational cross-functional team.

Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree with 6+ years experience, or a master’s with 3+ years, or PhD.
• Experience modeling power system components such as generators, transformers, or transmission and distribution networks.
• Phasor-based or electromagnetic transient simulation experience.
• Translating physical power system behavior into simulation-ready, parameterized models.

Responsibilities

• Develop and verify mathematical models of electrical machines, transformers, transmission lines, and cables, including frequency-dependent and magnetic domain effects.
• Support components across phasor-mode and electromagnetic transient simulation, including initialization to steady state.
• Create analysis utilities and apps for studies such as load flow, harmonics, and fault analysis.
• Build reference examples on benchmark networks and on applications such as microgrids and renewable plants.
• Model inverter-based resources and their interaction with network dynamics and protection.
• Validate models against reference data or benchmark studies.
• Present modeling approaches and design proposals to colleagues in design reviews.
