Siemens Grid Software is looking to accelerate and secure the energy transition in a sustainable and profitable way by paving the way for autonomous grid management and empowering grid operators to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster, and at scale. They aim to turn the complexity of grids into competitive advantage by embracing software and digital technology.
Requirements
- Experience developing in Python, C/C++, or Fortran, particularly in the Microsoft Visual Studio environment.
- Familiarity with power systems simulation techniques and how to model equipment.
- Knowledge of power system modeling, power flow solutions, and contingency analysis.
- Knowledge of control engineering.
- Master’s degree in power systems engineering, or electrical engineering with an emphasis in power systems engineering, with strong abilities in software development.
- Work experience with power system analysis methodologies and the ability to research, investigate, and apply new and complex modeling and analysis techniques.
- Ph.D. in power systems engineering, or electrical engineering with an emphasis in power systems engineering, with strong abilities in power systems software development.
Responsibilities
- Create mathematical algorithms for power systems simulation. This includes engineering design of power systems models, as well as implementation and testing.
- Exhibit proficiency in object-oriented programming, functional programming, and other techniques to accelerate the process of modeling power systems simulations.
- Work with the Grid Simulation software development team (also known in the industry as the Power Technologies International—or PTI—software team) on designing, developing, and testing and documenting the software.
- Maintain and develop components of the Grid Simulation PSS® software platform under the direction of the product manager and product owner.
- Create robust tests to assess performance, correctness, and usability of the software.
- Provide estimates and analysis of tasks required for development and actively participate in development status reviews.
- Develop software according to modern methodologies such as the Scaled Agile Framework, including the use of tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Git.
Other
- Ability to travel up to 10%.
- Prior experience with creating simulation models for power system components is a plus.
- Experience using PSS®E in a Utility or National Laboratory is a plus: this is your opportunity to change from being a user of the software to guiding the development of the software.
