Role Title: Senior Protection Engineer (Medium Voltage / Utility Distribution)

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

Our team is engaging Senior Protection Engineer (Medium Voltage / Utility Distribution) experts to contribute their technical expertise to a customer's project in the utility distribution sector. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required - your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

• Assess and validate protection system reference cases, including relay settings, coordination curves, and protection logs for medium voltage utility distribution networks.
• Review and provide feedback on technical documentation related to protective relaying and device coordination practices.
• Analyze power system studies such as fault current analysis and equipment protection reviews, utilizing recognized industry methodologies.
• Evaluate and critique the application of protective relays (SEL, GE, or equivalent microprocessor-based relays) in medium voltage environments.
• Develop detailed, well-structured written responses and rationales explaining your analysis and recommendations.
• Collaborate with project managers and technical leads via clear, professional written and verbal communication.
• Support the creation of realistic, diverse scenarios that reflect U.S. distribution-utility or industrial standards for training and validation purposes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Minimum 8 years of hands-on experience in medium voltage (2.4kV-38kV) protection engineering within U.S. utility distribution or industrial settings.
• Strong background in protective relaying, relay settings, power system analysis, and device coordination.
• Proficiency with SEL, GE, or standard microprocessor relays and associated software.
• Advanced skill in power system modeling tools such as ETAP, ASPEN, or CAPE.
• Ability to synthesize and communicate complex technical concepts clearly in both written and verbal formats.
• Demonstrated attention to detail and analytical rigor when reviewing technical materials and data sets.
• Previous experience validating or creating technical documentation, protection settings, or relay coordination studies is highly regarded.
