Role SummaryResponsible for the implementation, tuning, and validation of unit-level and grid-code compliant control firmware for power electronic and generation assets within microgrid and utility-connected systems. This role bridges equipment-level control logic and regulatory grid code requirements across PCS, BESS, generators, and auxiliary systems, ensuring safe, deterministic, and compliant operation under all operating conditions.
Key Responsibilities- Implement unit-level control logic for PCS, BESS, generators, SSTs, and balance-of-plant equipment
- Develop startup, shutdown, fault handling, and recovery sequences with deterministic behavior
- Implement grid-code required functions including voltage control, frequency response, LVRT/HVRT, and protection coordination
- Develop and tune GFL and GFM control modes including active/reactive power control and ramp-rate limits
- Implement local safety limits, interlocks, fallback logic, and protective functions
- Ensure proper prioritization and coordination of commands between unit controllers, real-time controllers, and EMS
- Validate control firmware through simulation, SIL, HIL, factory testing, and field commissioning support
- Support certification, type testing, and utility or regulatory compliance demonstrations
- Troubleshoot field issues and support commissioning activities
- Document control logic, state machines, configuration parameters, and known limitation
Minimum Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Controls, or related field (Master's preferred)
- 3-7+ years of experience in control firmware implementation for PCS, inverters, or unit controllers
- Strong understanding of inverter-based resource behavior and utility grid codes
- Experience with PLCs, embedded controllers, or real-time control platforms
- Familiarity with dynamic simulation and validation tools such as PSCAD or equivalent
- Strong debugging, system integration, and cross-functional collaboration skills
- Professional working proficiency in English; additional languages are a plus
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- Excellent communication and documentation skills
- Ability to work across global, cross-functional engineering teams
