ECI is highly motivated to attract electrical engineers that have significant experience performing EHV technical design studies. We are looking for hands-on study engineers that can utilize any software to perform the analysis and write detailed reports. The ideal candidate should have deep knowledge and experience in most of the following studies at the EHV level:

• Shunt Reactive Compensation and Voltage Control
• Coupled Line Resonance Studies (stuck pole on breakers drives NGR size on switched/fixed line connected shunt reactors to prevent resonance)
• Single Pole Automatic Reclosing (NGR sizing, reclose dead time determination, check stability margins, etc)
• Series Capacitor Analysis (develop cap size, MOV sizing, etc.)
• Line Switching Overvoltage Studies (with/without breaker PIRs and point on wave controllers, etc)
• Line Insulation Coordination Studies (includes assessing line clearances and make recommendations for PIRs, sub/line arresters, changes to clearances)
• Breaker TRV/RRRV Studies
• Line or Sub MAD calculations
• Coupling to Adjacent Circuits in ROW
• Voltage/Current Unbalance/Transposition Studies
• Transformer Energization
• TOV studies in HV/EHV systems
• EHV Capacitor Switching (analysis and TLI/PIR sizing)
• Technoeconomic Conductor Selection Studies
• EHV Power Cable Studies (EMT studies of riser design including grounding, cross-bonding, SVL sizing/placement, protection of cables)

The engineer will join a team of experienced engineers and perform detailed EMT analysis for the study work as well as provide guidance to younger staff who this individual will train. Extensive experience with PSCAD is required and knowledge of common loadflow tools, MathCad, Excel is a must.

Depending on experience, applicants may be qualified for a hybrid or remote work arrangement. Relocation to Madison, WI or Chesapeake, VA to work with the team is preferred.

Our team helps customers with project conceptual development, support during design, equipment selection and assistance with operating issues after COD. We assist with apparatus ratings and specifications development for transformers, circuit breakers, switches, cables, series capacitors, dynamic var devices, etc.

MinimumRequirements: MSEE (PhD is desirable)15+ year performing most of the studies listed above.Expert user of PSCAD. (knowledge of ATP and EMTP-RV a plus); expert user of positive sequence/phasor domain tools; a professional engineers license is preferred but not required. The successful applicant may be subject to client-mandated drug and background checking. Occasional travel/driving is required; therefore, the successful applicant will be subject to ECI's auto insurance carrier requirements. Applicants must not require sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B visa status) now or in the future.

Salary commensurate with experience and education. Benefits include:

• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• Flexible spending account
• Health savings account
• Life insurance
• Disability insurance
• 401(k), profit sharing and employee stock ownership plan
• Paid vacation, personal days and holidays
• Paid Parental Leave
• Continued professional education reimbursement
