Job Description

Power Systems Engineer, Microgrids

Intersect Power

• As part of Intersect’s Microgrid Engineering team, you’ll apply advanced power system theory, simulation expertise, and real-world engineering judgment to design and validate high-performance microgrid control systems. • You’ll partner closely with controls engineers, electrical design teams, external suppliers, and utility operators to develop fit-for-purpose power system models and validate controller behavior across both normal and contingency conditions. • Your work will help prove what’s possible—supporting microgrids that reliably power gigawatts of critical datacenter load at unprecedented scale. • Build and oversee the development of detailed EMT and dynamic models representing loads, supervisory controls, protection schemes, and generation assets including batteries, wind, PV, reciprocating engines, and turbines. • Identify key system parameters from design documentation, requirements, and field data to ensure models accurately reflect real-world behavior. • Identify and simulate contingency events such as breaker trips, generator failures, and fault conditions to confirm system stability and performance. • Collaborate with adjacent engineering teams to understand system design, control logic, communication latencies, and protection schemes, feeding simulation insights back into design decisions. • Participate in Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, site validation planning, and performance verification. • Support post-event analysis through field data review, model correlation, and model playback to continuously improve system fidelity.

Job Requirements

  • M.S. or PhD in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in power systems or control systems
  • 4–8+ years of experience performing EMT and dynamic power system studies for microgrids, islanded systems, or weak-grid environments
  • Hands-on experience with PSCAD or similar EMT tools; familiarity with Simulink or Modelica and real-time simulation methodologies including SIL and HIL
  • Strong understanding of inverter operating modes such as grid-forming, grid-following, and droop control
  • Experience modeling dynamic loads, including large and fast-changing datacenter loads, and assessing their impact on system stability
  • Familiarity with modeling communication delays, control system latencies, protection scheme interactions, and fault ride-through behavior
  • Knowledge of utility interconnection and market requirements, particularly within ERCOT, that will help you succeed in grid-interactive system studies
  • A collaborative, detail-oriented work style with the curiosity and persistence needed to solve complex, system-level engineering challenges

Benefits

  • Health & wellness: 100% premium coverage for you and your dependents on medical, dental, and vision
  • Time to recharge: Unlimited PTO, plus two company-wide breaks (Fourth of July & end of year)
  • Family support: Up to 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, plus 6 additional weeks for birth parents; access to family planning and family care support through Carrot and Maven
  • Mental health: Free access to Spring Health, including 5 free therapy and psychiatry sessions, plus a Headspace account for mindfulness and meditation through our physical health vendor, Wellhub+
  • Perks & extras: $150 monthly food stipend, $150 monthly reimbursement for cell phone and internet, pet insurance allowance, full home office setup, free access to UrbanSitter with $625 in quarterly company-paid credits, ActiveHero, and One Medical
