Position Summary
The Engineer IV will provide senior-level engineering and technical support for Energy Management System (EMS) and Distribution Management System (DMS) applications supporting electric transmission and control room operations. This position requires extensive hands-on experience with General Electric Grid EMS/DMS systems, advanced EMS applications, power flow and transmission systems.
The ideal candidate will be able to independently troubleshoot complex EMS issues, provide technical guidance, and evaluate system-wide impacts with minimal supervision. Strong experience with Client Grid products is the highest-priority qualification for this role.
Key Responsibilities
Provide engineering and technical expertise for the identification, analysis, troubleshooting, and resolution of complex EMS/DMS system issues.
Support and maintain Client Grid EMS/DMS applications, including e-terrahabitat, e-terracontrol, e-terracomm, e-terrasource, e-terratransmission, and e-terraarchive.
Support EMS advanced applications, including State Estimator, Contingency Analysis, and Network applications.
Work with RTUC/Look-ahead, RTNET, STNET, RMTNET, and SMTNET applications.
Develop and maintain scripts used to update HABITAT databases and support EMS functionality.
Apply working knowledge of networking and communication protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP, DNP 3.0, ICCP, and ISD.
Utilize scripting/programming languages such as PERL, Python, Java, PowerShell, or VBScript to support system applications and automation. Candidates are not expected to have experience with every listed language.
Apply knowledge of electric transmission systems and NERC transmission reliability standards, including BA and TOP requirements.
Assess technical issues with consideration for long-term and system-wide operational impacts.
Coordinate across engineering teams, business units, support organizations, and vendors to facilitate effective communication and issue resolution.
Independently plan, organize, execute, and monitor assigned work with minimal direct supervision.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related technical field from an accredited university.
Minimum of 8 years of related professional experience.
Extensive hands-on experience with Client Grid EMS/DMS systems and applications.
Strong knowledge of EMS advanced applications and electric transmission systems.
Experience with at least one relevant scripting or programming language, such as Python, Java, PowerShell, PERL, or VBScript.
Working knowledge of applicable networking and communication protocols.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to resolve complex EMS-related problems independently.
Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with technical teams, business partners, support groups, and vendors.
Ability to work independently with limited supervision.
Must be able to successfully complete the required NERC background check.
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. The hiring manager identified Electrical Engineering as the preferred educational background, although candidates with IT, Computer Science, or other relevant technical degrees may also be considered.
In-depth experience with Client e-terra EMS applications.
Strong understanding of power flow and transmission system operations.
Previous experience supporting EMS applications used within utility control room environments.
Knowledge of NERC reliability requirements applicable to transmission operations.
Work Environment
Office-based position with no anticipated travel or driving requirements.
The role is expected to be fully onsite initially, approximately the first quarter, while the individual becomes trained and comfortable working independently. A hybrid schedule may be available afterward.
The team is open to candidates across the approved locations and is prioritizing the best-qualified candidate rather than a specific region.
