The Role

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to join our growing Power, Data and Innovation team. This role will be responsible for key modeling responsibilities at the intersection of power systems engineering, power market economics, and applied predictive analytics to support Carbon Direct's mission of accelerating decarbonized power advisory business. You will work with the team of mechanical/chemical engineers, economists, energy modelers, technology experts, and applied researchers: contributing to client engagements, analyses, and the enhancement of our power systems modeling offerings. This role requires strong skills in translating and presenting complicated technical analyses to our external clients and internal leadership team.

Qualifications

Required:

• Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering with experience in managing/leading internal/external clients in the electric power industry, preferably consulting, advisory, corporate and/or data centers
• Proficiency in transmission models (N-1 reliability, SCUC, SCED), AC/DC power flow models and their applications in market operations, congestion management and capacity planning, including steady-state and dynamic modeling of the transmission networks using industry standard tools such as PSS/E, PowerWorld or PSCAD
• Familiarity in working with production-cost models such as PyPSA, PROMOD, Plexos, AURORA for simulating generation dispatch, market clearing and system operations
• Significant modeling expertise on wholesale electricity markets and/or grid operations in the North America and the EU markets and deep familiarity with energy market rules and structures (ISOs/RTOs), capacity markets, resource adequacy frameworks, and reliability standards
• Multi-year experience working across multidisciplinary teams, strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex analytics to non-technical stakeholders

Preferred:

• Proficiency in statistical modeling, forecasting, and data analysis (Python, R, MATLAB, or equivalent)
• Experience modeling energy storage systems (both SDES/LDES), geothermal, DERs/microgrid technologies, EV, building electrification, or industrial decarbonization
• Familiarity with GHG accounting, energy policy, or carbon market frameworks
• Familiarity with FERC regulatory proceedings and filings and power market design
• Knowledge of natural gas/power market dynamics
• Professional licensure (PE) or advanced credentials in relevant electrical engineering domains
• Published technical or peer-reviewed reports or public-facing technical work in technology investment (both grid and BTM grid technologies), grid modeling, electrification, grid modernization, or related areas

Responsibilities

• Design, evaluate, and analyze electrical systems relevant to corporate decarbonization pathways, including electrification, grid integration, power electronics, and low‑carbon energy technologies
• Develop and maintain transmission planning, system reliability, and integrated system planning (IRPs/ISPs), renewable integration studies that are customized based on client requests, and provide complementary analyses for the production cost modeling teams
• Conduct rigorous technical due diligence on projects, technologies, and proposals involving electrical infrastructure, energy storage, or industrial electrification
• Present, report, and translate complicated engineering analyses and models into clear, actionable recommendations for external clients, internal teams, Carbon Direct leadership team, and executive stakeholders
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with scientists, policy experts, and business development teams to support client deliverables and thought leadership
