Full Job Description
Are you a power systems engineer who wants to use AI to transform how utilities plan the electric grid? The AWS Energy & Utilities AI Products team is using AI to reimagine grid planning and interconnection study processes for the global utility industry. We are looking for a Senior Solutions Architect who brings deep domain expertise in grid planning, power flow analysis, and interconnection studies to help define, validate, and demonstrate AI-driven solutions to utility customers.

In this role, you will lead technical engagements with utility planners, translate their workflows into AI product requirements, define how AI integrates with industry simulation tools, and develop technical content for the power systems community. This is a high-impact role in a small, collaborative team where your domain knowledge directly shapes how AI is applied to grid planning.

Key job responsibilities

- Serve as the technical subject matter expert for power systems engineering within the product team, translating utility customer workflows into product requirements and validation criteria

- Lead customer engagements with transmission and distribution planners, demonstrating product capabilities and gathering technical feedback to shape the roadmap

- Define integration requirements and test strategies for third-party power systems simulation tools used in grid planning and interconnection studies

- Partner with applied scientists and software engineers to validate analytical methods, review model outputs, and ensure product accuracy meets utility-grade standards

- Develop technical content (white papers, reference architectures, conference presentations) for the utility planning community

A day in the life

You split your time between deep technical work and customer-facing engagement. One morning you might review power flow results with an engineering team to validate a new analytical method; that afternoon you could be on a call with a utility's interconnection study group, understanding how they evaluate generation queue projects. You bring domain credibility that lets you speak the language of transmission planners while shaping a product that changes how they work.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field

- 5+ years of experience in power systems engineering, transmission planning, or grid interconnection studies

- 3+ years of experience with power flow analysis, stability studies, or cost modeling

- Experience using industry-standard power systems simulation software in a professional or research setting

- Experience communicating technical concepts to both engineering and non-engineering audiences

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- PhD in electrical engineering or power systems engineering

- Published research in power systems analysis, grid planning, or related fields

- Professional Engineer (PE) qualification

- Experience at an ISO/RTO, utility transmission planning group, or power systems software vendor

- Experience defining product requirements or technical specifications for software products

- Experience with AI/ML applications in power systems or grid operations

The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
