Descripción de la vacante

DEPCOM Power, Inc. seeks an experienced power systems engineer to drive the team’s growth by developing procedures and workflows for plant modeling.

You will create and review electrical plant models (PSLF, PSS/E, PSCAD) for utility‑scale solar, energy storage, substations and switchyards. You will lead steady‑state and transient studies, coordinate protection, arc flash, grounding and harmonics, and collaborate with SCADA partners on automated testing to meet NERC MOD requirements.

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with SEP license; valid driving license and US visa/passport for short travel.
• At least 3 years of experience in power system analysis (transient and steady‑state).
• Advanced experience with PSLF, PSS/E, PSCAD, EMTP, ASPEN, SKM, ETAP, CDEGS or CYME.
• Hands-on substation experience including point‑to‑point wiring and equipment selection.
• Excellent oral and written communication in English; ability to manage multiple parallel projects and deadlines.

Responsabilidades

• Develop and review plant models (using PSLF, PSS/E, PSCAD) for utility‑scale solar, storage, substations and switchyards.
• Create system‑level models for steady‑state and transient studies (load flow, short‑circuit, protection coordination).
• Lead discussions with engineers and customers; prioritize project demands to meet deadlines.
• Collaborate with SCADA partners to validate tests and support NERC MOD requirements.
• Support vendor equipment database management and align studies with equipment ratings.

What You Will Do In Your Role

• Actively drive the power systems team's growth by developing procedures, templates, and workflows, while identifying new technologies and tools to optimize overall personnel productivity.
• Create and review generic and user-defined plant models (using PSS/E and PSCAD) for initial and final submissions, covering utility‑scale solar, energy storage, substations, gen‑ties, and switchyards.
• Develop system‑level plant models for steady‑state and transient AC studies, including load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, grounding, transient over‑voltage, and harmonics.
• Partner with Lead Design Engineers to align system studies with equipment selection and infrastructure ratings, while providing subject matter expertise to internal business groups.
• Act as a subject matter expert in testing and model validation, collaborating closely with SCADA partners to develop automated packages and remotely test NERC MOD requirements.
• Lead technical and non‑technical discussions with employees and customers, manage a vendor equipment database, and effectively prioritize competing project demands to meet deadlines.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering (or a related field) with an active Mexican professional license (Cédula Profesional - SEP), a valid driving license, and an active US visa/passport for short‑term travel.
• At least 3 years of experience in power system analysis, covering both transient and steady‑state analysis, guided by strong fundamental engineering principles.
• Advanced experience with steady‑state and transient analysis software, such as PSLF, PSS/E, PSCAD, EMTP, ASPEN, SKM, ETAP, CDEGS, or CYME.
• Deep understanding of detailed and equivalent modeling, with a proven ability to identify system‑level constraints and flag unreasonable model values.
• Practical, hands‑on substation experience, including point‑to‑point wiring, equipment selection, and general infrastructure design.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills in English, combined with a proven track record of managing deadlines and expectations for multiple parallel projects.

What Will Put You Ahead

• Proven experience working as a consultant and successfully managing energy or industrial projects.
• Solid knowledge of model validation and testing requirements in compliance with NERC, regional ISO, and utility regulations.
• Proficiency in engineering software like ETAP, hands‑on programming expertise in Python, and familiarity with template drawings, sheet‑set managers, and smart‑blocks.
• Practical experience in designing substations, gen‑ties, and switchyards, along with a strong understanding of Balance of Plant (BOP) concepts.
• In‑depth knowledge of utility‑scale solar systems, energy storage solutions, and repowering services.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) registration or license in either the United States or Canada.
