Résumé du poste

Placements24 is seeking a Remote Power Systems Engineer to join its distributed team. You will design, analyze, and optimize electrical power systems for off-grid and microgrid applications, leveraging PSCAD/EMTP-RV/ETAP tools in a remote-first environment.

The role requires a strong theoretical foundation in electrical engineering and at least six years of hands-on experience with power system modeling, control strategies, and grid integration.

Qualifications

• Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Power Systems.
• Minimum of 6 years of experience in power system design, analysis, and simulation.
• Proficiency in power system simulation software such as PSCAD, EMTP-RV, ETAP, PSS/E, or similar.
• Strong understanding of AC/DC power system fundamentals, grid codes, and protection principles.
• Experience with renewable energy integration (solar, wind) and energy storage systems (batteries).
• Familiarity with microgrid design and operation is highly desirable.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly.
• Proven ability to work independently and manage tasks effectively in a remote environment.

Responsabilités

• Design and engineer electrical power systems, including AC and DC distribution, generation, and storage components.
• Perform power system studies, including load flow, short-circuit analysis, stability analysis, and harmonic distortion analysis.
• Develop and optimize microgrid architectures and control strategies.
• Model and simulate power system behavior using industry-standard software (e.g., PSCAD, EMTP-RV, ETAP).
• Specify electrical equipment, including generators, inverters, batteries, transformers, and protection devices.
• Analyze the performance of existing power systems and recommend improvements for efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Collaborate with project managers, clients, and other engineering disciplines to define system requirements and ensure project success.
• Prepare technical documentation, including design specifications, test procedures, and user manuals.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends in power systems, renewable energy integration, and energy storage.
• Provide technical support and troubleshooting for power system issues.
