Job description

Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc. (MEPPI) is seeking a Systems Studies Engineer III to independently perform and lead power systems engineering studies in the areas of electromagnetic transients, load flow, short-circuit, transient stability, control design, equipment applications, and other transmission and distribution (T&D) areas. Provide team leadership within key business areas and develop trusted relationships with external organizations. Maintain, enhance, train others and apply knowledge of concepts, technology and regulations in the power systems field.

What You’ll Do:

• Independently conduct load flow, transient stability, reactive planning, infrastructure re-enforcement, generator interconnection, and related studies, including FACTS, HVDC, and converter-based resources utilizing PSLF, PSS/E, DigSILENT, DSA Tools, Power World, and other similar software.
• Independently conduct insulation coordination, harmonic, short-circuit, grounding, and other related studies for T&D equipment, including FACTS, HVDC, and converter-based resources utilizing ATP, EMTP, EMTP-RV, PSCAD, MATLAB, ASPEN, CAPE, CDEGS, and other similar software.
• Independently perform studies on renewable resources, distributed energy resources, battery energy storage, relay and protection, performance monitoring, and grid modernization applications utilizing CYME, Synergi, etap, Milsoft, and Plexos software tools.
• Manage and lead projects to ensure completion within specified schedules and budgets. Develop and manage project plans specifying goals, strategy, budget, schedule and resource assignment. Prepare and review project activity reports and communicate to stakeholders.
• Lead the development, organization and analysis of data for systems studies. Leverage data mining and visualization techniques to perform data analysis, present data and ensure data integrity.
• Use C, C++, MATLAB, Java, Perl, Python, and others to enhance models and simulations. Lead the development and testing of software tools to automate data analysis, data monitoring, reporting, and ensuring data integrity.
• Increase efficiency and support coworker use of software tools used in power system engineering studies.
• Support and lead development of business opportunities towards achieving division objectives.
• Identify, anticipate, and proactively address team and customer needs and concerns. Prepare and communicate responses and proposals with minimal direction.
• Support and lead proposals in response to customer specifications, RFP/RFQ, and technical information requests.
• Independently prepare, present, and train others with preparation and delivery of technical reports and presentations to internal and external customers on schedule, within quality standards, with minimal re-work, and positive internal and external feedback. Ensure consistent report quality with grammar and formatting standards.
• Achieve, enhance quality standards and set examples for meeting schedules for simulation model development, analytics and reporting. Use, lead and enhance an engineered process throughout the stages of the study.
• Prepare and lead technical papers and articles for publication in professional society journals and trade magazines, and for presentations at professional society meetings, industry conferences, and trade exhibitions.
• Maintain, enhance, apply and train others in concepts in grid planning, interconnection, operations, equipment application, and associated history and evolution of standards, orders, guidelines, and tariffs for use in studies.
• Condition and lead others in the conditioning of the model and judging simulation output based on expected system and equipment capabilities and operation. Estimate and lead others in the estimating of system and equipment parameters based on known values, where applicable, or in providing feedback when such values are questionable.
• Support generator testing, model development, and validation to standards.
• Support studies initiatives for other MEPPI divisions/departments.
• Contribute to pre-specification for T&D equipment, such as for key system design parameters.
• Further the goals and positive, professional image of PSED through interaction with other MEPPI divisions and vendors.
• Know MEPPI’s Quality, Safety, and Environmental Policies. Be able to fully discuss the importance of these policies and their impact on work.
