Job description

The driving force behind our success has always been the people of AspenTech. What drives us, is our aspiration, our desire and ambition to keep pushing the envelope, overcoming any hurdle, challenging the status quo to continually find a better way. You will experience these qualities of passion, pride and aspiration in many ways — from a rich set of career development programs to support of community service projects to social events that foster fun and relationship building across our global community.

The Role

The increasing levels of automation and the integration of renewable energy resources are significantly impacting power distribution grids. By addressing challenges and leveraging opportunities, Distribution Management Systems (DMS) can play a crucial role in transforming the energy landscape towards a more sustainable and efficient future.

We are seeking a Power System Developer to contribute to the development of our industry-leading DMS suite, which assists distribution utilities in real-time monitoring, visualization, control, and optimization of distribution grids. As a member of an Agile development team, you will design and implement advanced applications that help our utility customers improve grid reliability and efficiency, and better integrate and leverage renewable energy sources.

Your Impact

• Model and simulate steady-state and dynamic behavior of distribution system equipment such as transformers, cables/lines, conventional and renewable generators, and relays.
• Develop, enhance, and maintain various products within DMS, such as distribution power flow, distribution state estimation, fault restoration, etc.
• Research, develop, and implement advanced optimization solutions, such as volt var optimization and optimal power flow, to control distributed energy resources (DER) and/or virtual power plants (VPP) in distribution.
• Conduct activities following software development process including:
• Participate in use case discussion and design discussion.
• Create test procedures and perform new code testing.
• Develop product documentation.
• Perform technical code reviews.

What You'll Need

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Mathematics or related technical field. PhD in Electrical Engineering with Power Systems Emphasis is preferred.
• Understanding of power systems concepts in power distribution modeling and operation, distribution protection and coordination, DER integration and control.
• Experience in areas of power flow calculation, state estimation, DER control and/or network optimization.
• Experience with power systems simulation tools such as MATLAB, PSCAD and/or PSSE.
• Programming experience using Matlab, Python, C/C++ and/or C#.
• Experience in data analytics and artificial intelligence is preferred, with the ability to apply these technologies to enhance power system analysis and optimization.
• Self-motivated: commits to deadlines and holds oneself accountable.

The salary range for this role is $115,100.00 - $143,900.00. This range represents what we in good faith believe is the range possible for base compensation for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range based on several factors. This range may be modified in the future. This role is also eligible for bonus or variable incentive pay. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, charitable giveback day, medical/dental/vision insurance, and retirement benefits to eligible employees.
