Job summary

Axyde Analytics, LLC in Los Angeles seeks a senior utility power-system planning professional to lead or review grid-modernization, storage, and cross-border interconnection assessments, translating constraints into financeable implementation pathways.

You will diagnose system needs, evaluate alternatives, define TOR, and integrate finance, regulation, and safeguards while traveling Indo-Pacific as needed.

Qualifications

• Senior utility, power-system planning, transmission/distribution, grid-modernization, storage, microgrid, interconnection, or system-operations experience.
• Evidence using or reviewing power-flow, production-cost, dispatch, reliability, storage, tariff, or lifecycle-cost analysis.
• Emerging-market, island-grid, or cross-border system experience strongly preferred.
• Experience translating diagnostic findings into implementable scopes, procurement strategies, roadmaps, or investment programs.
• U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, with written attestation required before proposal inclusion.
• Demonstrated senior/expert judgment supported by specific project, analysis, decision-product, or implementation evidence—not keyword familiarity alone.
• Ability to produce concise, defensible written analysis in English and work across technical, commercial, financial, safeguards, institutional, and implementation interfaces.
• Ability to become available for potential Indo-Pacific travel within 20 calendar days after Axyde's written mobilization notice following contract award, subject to assignment needs and Government direction.
• Willingness to disclose availability, employment/contract restrictions, confidentiality obligations, conflicts, noncompetes, country/customer limitations, and relevant intellectual-property constraints.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose system needs using demand, reliability, loss, generation, network, operating, regulatory, and institutional evidence.
• Evaluate alternatives, system models, sizing/dispatch, lifecycle cost, resilience, operating model, procurement, cybersecurity, implementation sequence, and capacity-building needs.
• Define TOR tasks, data requirements, performance measures, schedule, budget inputs, acceptance tests, and risk/recovery branches.
• Integrate project finance, climate/resilience, country regulation, suppliers, safeguards, and stakeholder requirements.
• Independently challenge models, assumptions, vendor claims, tariff/off-take logic, and implementation readiness.
