Grid Stability Engineer (Network Simulation)

Quick Facts

• Role: Grid Stability Engineer (Network Simulation)

• Focus: Strategic stability analyses and network simulation

Description

You will support the engineering team with strategic grid stability analyses and operative questions. You will develop tools and models for stability analyses of today’s and future power grids and use simulations to assess the effects of new equipment and customer systems (e.g., grid-forming inverters). The position also provides decision-making foundations and supports further development of the applicable rule set, while accompanying research and development projects on system stability.

Responsibilities

• Support strategic stability analyses and address operative questions for the engineering unit

• Enable integration of new technologies into the grid and help ensure grid security

• Develop tools and models for stability analyses of today’s and future electrical grids

• Systematically assess and quantify system stability risks

• Investigate via simulations the impact of new equipment and customer installations (e.g., grid-forming inverters)

• Create technical decision support and assist in further development of the rulebook

• Support research and development projects related to system stability

Requirements

• Completed degree in Electrical Engineering or comparable qualification (Diploma, Master, possibly PhD)

• Experience with grid/network calculation software such as INTEGRAL or PowerFactory

• Very good understanding of electrical engineering topics, especially for a distribution system operator and system stability phenomena

• Ability to structure results clearly, make well-founded decisions, and communicate to the target audience

• Structured, process-oriented work style and proactive approach to new solutions and challenges

• Ability and willingness to gather information from subject matter experts and stakeholders

Benefits

• Flexible working hours and flextime account for converting overtime and travel time into time off

• 30 days annual vacation

• Option to work from home

• Secure employment terms via collective agreement

• Company pension plan

• Performance bonus; Christmas and vacation pay

• Savings benefits (employer contributions for employee savings)

• Opportunities for personal and professional development and individual further training
