Location: Orlando, Florida, United States

Company

hirify.global Renewable Energy, part of Siemens Energy, develops wind turbines and solutions supporting the global energy transition.

What you will do

• Develop, test, debug, and validate electrical simulation models for wind turbines and plant controllers.
• Build RMS models in PSSE and EMT models in PSCAD using MATLAB/SIMULINK-generated DLLs, then perform benchmarking.
• Analyze simulation results and identify improvements to model performance and accuracy.
• Model wind farms for steady-state, dynamic, transient, and frequency-domain simulations.
• Evaluate compliance with requirements covering short circuit, power-quality capability, voltage limits, equipment overloading, and related studies.
• Document simulation inputs, results, and conclusions, and support customer meetings as a grid subject matter expert.

Requirements

• Master’s degree in Electrical Power Engineering.
• 8–10 years of experience developing electrical models and controls for design and grid-compliance work.
• Knowledge of current grid-compliance regulations and experience working with ERCOT, NERC, or FERC.
• Experience with harmonic studies, load-flow analysis, dynamic stability, frequency-domain analysis, and transient studies.
• Experience modeling control systems and power-system components in time and frequency domains.
• Experience with MATLAB/SIMULINK, PSSE, and PSCAD-based modeling and simulation.

Nice to have

• Experience with wind turbines, including DFIG or full-converter technologies, or other converter-based generation such as PV, HVDC, STATCOM, or energy storage.
• Knowledge of numerical analysis, signal processing, filtering, interpolation, FFT, control theory, or optimization techniques.
