Microgrid / Power Systems Specialist

Intellisync; Town of Italy (NY); Hybrid; EUR 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Intellisync is seeking a Microgrid / Power Systems Specialist to lead the microgrid capabilities of the CPPC Tiers platform. You will own islanding, synchronization, and safe reconnection to the grid, ensuring stability and compliance under all conditions.

This fully remote role requires collaboration with control, protection, and real-time software engineers to deliver robust, certifiable system behavior and grid-code compliance across diverse operating conditions.

Qualifications

• Experience designing islanding logic for grid-following and grid-forming modes.
• Experience with synchronization and reconnection sequences.
• Knowledge of grid protection schemes and interlocking.

Responsibilities

• Design and govern islanding logic for both grid-following and grid-forming operating modes
• Implement synchronization sequences for safe grid separation and reconnection
• Coordinate control strategies with protection systems, relays, and interlocking schemes
• Address grid-interaction edge cases, including weak grids, fault ride-through, and abnormal operating conditions
• Validate microgrid behavior through simulations, testing, and field feedback
• Work closely with control, protection, and real-time software engineers to ensure coherent system behavior
• Support grid-code compliance and commissioning

Job description

We’re looking for a Microgrid / Power Systems Specialist to lead the microgrid capabilities of the CPPC Tiers platform, with a strong focus on intentional islanding, synchronization, and safe reconnection to the grid. In this role, you’ll ensure that microgrid behavior remains stable, predictable, and compliant with grid codes and protection schemes under all operating conditions.

This role is for someone who understands that microgrids live at the intersection of control, protection, and grid operations. You’ll take ownership of complex grid-interaction scenarios and edge cases, turning them into robust, certifiable system behavior.

This role is fully remote.

What You Will Do

• Design and govern islanding logic for both grid-following and grid-forming operating modes

• Implement synchronization and resynchronization sequences for safe grid separation and reconnection

• Coordinate control strategies with protection systems, relays, and interlocking schemes

• Address grid-interaction edge cases, including weak grids, fault ride-through, and abnormal operating conditions

• Validate microgrid behavior through simulations, testing, and field feedback

• Work closely with control, protection, and real-time software engineers to ensure coherent system behavior
