We are looking for talented, energetic, and outgoing engineers to work in a rapidly growing field where you will have the opportunity to deliver state-of-the-art Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS) to some of the most exciting electric utilities around the world. You will be involved in designing, building, configuring, testing, and delivering these systems while working closely with other driven engineers and with our customers. Specifically, you’ll work on Outage Management System (OMS) that spans the electric utility’s operational and information technology domains; you will build systems that improve the efficiency of the utility’s grid operations and capture information and data to support their business functions. These systems will expand the utility’s Smart Grid capabilities by providing detailed insight into the operations of the electrical grid, from power generation to customer delivery. You will have the opportunity to shape the future of the electrical grid, reducing environmental impacts through the conservation of crucial resources. You will report to an ADMS Delivery Lead or Manager.

Your Impact

• Develop and execute system build plans considering software architecture, information security, and hardware deployment.
• Work closely with customers to understand their operational needs, provide system training, and configure solutions to meet their requirements.
• Lead workshops with customers.
• Perform system and acceptance testing with end customers.
• Develop scripts and middleware solutions to integrate third-party systems.
• Collaborate with product development and management teams to enhance future products.
• Troubleshoot complex problems and collaborate with technical experts across domains.
• Travel to customer sites to deliver, test, and integrate systems successfully.

What You'll Need

• Bachelor’s degree preferably in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Systems Engineering, or related technical field.
• Minimum of 2+ years of project engineering/management experience.
• Ability to travel up to 20%.
• Experience in power systems, electric utility operations, real-time control systems, client/server applications, network communications, UNIX/Linux/Windows OS, and programming/scripting (Python, C/C++).
