As a Senior Forward Reliability Engineering & Support Engineer, you will analyze the power system through techniques you have learned in school or through career experience and make changes to the operating plan to ensure a successful operating day. Additionally, you will design future processes to ensure compatibility within MISO and external customers. These projects may meet exciting industry changes or be driven by new software requirements.

Success Metrics

• You have demonstrated proficiency in group tools and processes operated by Forward Reliability Engineering & Support and inter‑department handoffs without assistance.
• You have changed at least one process or tool that changes our analysis or inter‑department handoff.

Qualifications

• At least a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering technology, electrical and computer engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, or electronics and computer engineering technology.
• Five or more years of experience in the energy industry, including utility, transmission operations, transmission planning, power system studies, real‑time operations, or related experience.
• Two years utilizing power flow tools such as EMS security applications, TARA, PSS/E, POM, or DSATools.
• Steady‑state power flow analysis experience.
• Stability study experience.
• Able and willing to be available after hours or weekends to support shift needs that may arise.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with programming languages such as C, Python, SQL.

Appropriate level will be determined based upon experience and knowledge.
