Job DescriptionJOB SUMMARY We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented
Electrical Modeling and Simulation Engineer to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, validating, and optimizing electrical models and simulations for various electrical systems and electrical products. This role requires a strong understanding of electrical engineering principles and proficiency with Matlab / Simulink simulation tools. PSCAD experience is a plus. The successful candidate will be able to work directly with customers and internal design teams to understand and define the problems statement and scope of work.
Responsibilities- Model Development: Develop and maintain detailed electrical models for components and systems using Matlab / Simulink simulation software.
- Simulation and Analysis: Conduct simulations to predict the behavior and performance of electrical systems under various conditions. Analyze results to identify potential issues and optimize designs.
- Design Optimization: Collaborate with design teams to integrate simulation results into the design process. Propose design modifications based on simulation outcomes to enhance performance and reliability.
- Validation and Testing: Validate simulation models through experimental testing and correlation with real-world data. Ensure models are accurate and reliable by comparing simulation results with physical prototypes.
- Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineers, software developers, and product managers, to ensure seamless integration of electrical systems. Communicate findings and recommendations effectively to stakeholders.
- Customer Focus: Work directly with customers and their engineering team to solve problems through accurate models of the customer's facility. Also, collaborate directly with customers to predict future performance through simulations of "what if" scenarios.
- Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of models, simulation procedures, and results. Prepare technical reports and presentations for upper management and project teams.
- Continuous Improvement: Stay updated with the latest advancements in modeling and simulation technologies and tools. Implement new tools and techniques to improve simulation accuracy and efficiency.
- Specialized Expertise: Apply knowledge of power electronic converters, feedback control algorithms, machine learning techniques, software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) to optimize the design and prepare the design for handoff to development teams.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:- Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering; PhD Degree accepted, experience may be considered in lieu of education.
- 1 plus years related experience
- Thorough understanding of 3-phase power systems.
- Thorough understanding of power electronic converters (rectifiers, inverters, dc/dc converters).
- Proficiency with Matlab / Simulink.
- Experience with PSCAD, PSSE and/or other electrical modeling and simulation tools preferred.
- Skilled developing control algorithms in C/C++.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills including troubleshooting both circuit boards, wiring, sensors, and firmware.
- Excellent communication and organizational skills.
- Ability to work effectively in a team environment.
- Ability to work with unclear requirements when faced with a first-of-kind task or problem.
- Basic knowledge of machine learning techniques using Python, PyTorch, or equivalent.
ACCOUNTABILITIES: - Plan and manage daily, weekly, monthly work.
- Present results to leadership and to customers.
- Meet goals and objectives as outlined by business leaders.
