• Reporting to the Director of Power Systems Modeling, you will serve as the primary Subject Matter Expert (SME) for transmission planning and generation interconnection. • This is a high-impact technical role where your deep understanding of power systems will not only drive complex study work but also serve as the "blueprint" for our software development team. • You are the bridge between traditional electrical engineering and modern digital transformation. • Engage with Stakeholders: Build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including utilities, RTOs, project developers, and regulatory bodies, to advocate for and advance Simple Thread’s projects. • Support Business Growth: Collaborate with the leadership team to develop and implement strategies for expanding our consulting services, including identifying emerging needs and new market opportunities and service offerings. • Innovate and Improve: Lead the development of innovative methodologies and tools that enhance power systems analysis and streamline processes for both internal and client use. • Execute Complex Power System Studies: Lead and perform advanced transmission planning and generation interconnection studies (System Impact, Feasibility, and Deliverability) across multiple North American markets (WECC, PJM, MISO, ERCOT, SPP, SERC, etc.). • Technical Authority on Interconnection: Act as the lead expert for both large-scale generation (including IBR) and large-load interconnection requests, navigating the specific tariff and reliability requirements of various RTOs/ISOs. • Product Strategy & SME Support: Collaborate directly with our software engineers to translate complex engineering workflows into automated tools. You will define the logic, "teach" the software team the engineering nuances, and validate the output of our internal automation frameworks. • Advanced Modeling: Build, tune, and validate high-quality power system models for steady-state, short circuit, transient stability, and EMT analyses using industry-standard tools. • Automation Mindset: While we have dedicated software developers, you will be expected to use Python and SQL to automate your own workflows and prototype new ideas that can be scaled into production-level software. • Mentor and Lead: Guide and instruct team members using a strong technical understanding of generation (including IBR), transmission, interconnection, customer and load, and modeling principles. • Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all study work and automated processes adhere strictly to NERC and regional reliability standards.
