Grid; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 400,000 - 800,000; Full time

Job summary

Grid in Bengaluru seeks a Power Systems Domain Expert to serve as the resident authority on how the electrical grid actually works. You will ground product decisions, design reviews, and client engagements in power-systems perspective.

With 10+ years in power distribution, you will explain substation operation, OT systems, SCADA/ADMS/DMS, and utility data flows to engineers and executives, shaping roadmaps and strategic decisions.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in power distribution operations or OT/GIS implementations.
• Deep understanding of how a distribution network operates: substations, feeders, protection, outages.
• Fluency in distribution hierarchy and network operational workflows.
• Working knowledge of SCADA/ADMS/DMS/OMS and utility GIS.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the resident authority on power distribution operations and OT systems across the organization.
• Ground the team's understanding of grid structure, substations, feeders, faults, outages, and reliability metrics.
• Provide power-systems judgment on product decisions, designs, and technical architecture.
• Advise teams on utility data behavior under load and during events, and what is practical to build.

Job description

We are hiring a Power Systems Domain Expert to serve as our resident authority on how the electrical grid actually works. You will bring power-systems judgment into every decision across the company that touches grid architecture reviews, product roadmap conversations, client engagements, pre-sales discussions, and internal training. This is a horizontal role. Our engineering, product, and delivery teams already bring strong data, software, and program capabilities. What they need is a single point of reference for the power-systems side of the domain, someone who can explain how a substation fails, how a feeder is restored, how an ADMS thinks, how a GIS represents connectivity, and why an outage looks the way it does when it reaches the control room.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the resident authority on power distribution operations, OT systems (SCADA / ADMS / DMS / OMS), utility GIS, and metering across the organization.
• Ground the team's understanding of the grid and how the physical network is structured, how substations and feeders operate, how faults propagate, how outages are managed, and how utilities measure and report reliability.
• Provide power-systems judgment on product decisions, solution designs, and technical architecture across engagements.
• Advise the engineering and product teams on how utility source systems behave, what data they produce, how they respond under load and during events, and what is realistic to build against.
• Represent Grid as the technical peer to utility Grid Operations, SCADA, ADMS, GIS, Distribution Operations, and Network Planning teams during client engagements, workshops, and pre-sales conversations.
• Author technical position papers, design notes, and recommendations where a power-systems perspective is required.
• Contribute to product direction by translating operational realities of utilities into product capabilities that solve them.
• Represent Grid in OEM and industry conversations with Schneider, GE, Vernova, OSI, Siemens, Hitachi, ESRI, and equivalent partners.
• Build up the team's grid literacy through internal reference material, walkthroughs, and mentoring.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of experience in power distribution operations, or hands-on implementation and operations of utility OT and GIS systems.
• Deep understanding of how a power distribution network actually operates: substations, transformers, feeders, protection, fault handling, restoration, load management, and planned and unplanned outages.
• Fluency in the physical distribution hierarchy (Grid Station Power Transformer Feeder Distribution Transformer Consumer), HT / LT split, and network operational workflows.
• Working knowledge of SCADA, ADMS, DMS, OMS, and utility GIS at a level sufficient to explain how they behave, what they store, and how utility operators use them in practice.
• Hands-on exposure to at least one of Schneider EcoStruxure ADMS, GE ADMS / PowerOn / Vernova GridOS, OSI Monarch, Siemens Spectrum Power, Oracle NMS, Mobineers OMS, Smallworld GIS, or ArcGIS Utility Network.
• Understanding of utility reliability metrics SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, and MAIFI and how they are computed from network events.
• Prior experience with an Indian DISCOM, Transco, or utility systems integrator, either as an employee or consultant.
• Ability to explain complex power-systems concepts clearly to engineers, product managers, and business audiences.
• Ability to form and defend structured technical positions in front of client leadership, OEM teams, and internal architects.
• CIM (IEC 61970 / 61968) familiarity for network model exchange preferred.
• Power system studies experience (PSS/E, CYME, ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory) preferred.
• OT protocol working knowledge: IEC 61850 IEC 60870-5-104 DNP3 ICCP, and MultiSpeak are preferred. AMI/HES exposure: Fluent Grid, Landis+Gyr, Genus, or equivalent ispreferred.
