Senior Distribution Planning Engineer

present of AI; Redwood City (CA); In loco; USD 120.000 - 190.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

GridCARE seeks a skilled professional to plan and analyze power distribution networks, using modeling and simulation to identify where the grid can accommodate new load. The role emphasizes practical decision-making based on study results and real-world constraints.

AI accelerates testing of scenarios, but human judgment remains essential for trustworthy results and safe connections. You will translate analyses into actionable grid connections and work with equipment and data center stakeholders.

Competenze

• Experience planning distribution networks and evaluating capacity for new loads.
• Familiar with grid modeling tools and simulation methods.
• Ability to translate study results into practical connection decisions.

Mansioni

• Plan and analyze power distribution networks to identify capacity for new loads.
• Model and simulate grids to test scenarios and validate results.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to implement grid connections and drive decisions.

Descrizione del lavoro

This role asks for someone who can plan and analyze power distribution networks, likely using modeling and simulation to find where the grid has room for new load. A strong candidate brings hands on distribution planning experience, comfort with grid modeling tools, and the judgment to turn study results into practical connection decisions.

How it fits the AI era

AI speeds up the modeling and screening work, letting planners test many scenarios and spot spare capacity faster. The human part stays central: judging which results are trustworthy, weighing real world constraints, and making the planning calls that affect the network.

How it builds AI experience

Working here would build experience applying physics based AI to real grid planning problems, especially finding capacity for data center connections. A candidate can prepare by getting fluent in distribution modeling tools and learning how AI assisted studies are validated against engineering reality.

Worth showing

• Distribution planning experience
• Grid modeling tools
• Power flow analysis
• Engineering judgment
