Power Systems Engineer

Job title: Power Systems Engineer

About the Role DEPCOM Power, Inc. is a leader in the Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC), O&M, Repowering and Energy Storage services for the U.S. utility solar and energy industries. The Power Systems Engineer role focuses on growing the power systems team by developing procedures, templates, and workflows, and by identifying new technologies to optimize personnel productivity. The position also involves creating and reviewing plant models for utility-scale solar, energy storage, substations, gen-ties, and switchyards, and developing system-level models for steady-state and transient studies.

What You'll Do

• Actively drive the power systems team's growth by developing procedures, templates, and workflows, while identifying new technologies and tools to optimize overall personnel productivity.
• Create and review generic and user-defined plant models for initial and final submissions, covering utility-scale solar, energy storage, substations, gen-ties, and switchyards.
• Develop system-level plant models for steady-state and transient AC studies, including load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, grounding, transient over-voltage, and harmonics.
• Partner with Lead Design Engineers to align system studies with equipment selection and infrastructure ratings, while providing subject matter expertise to internal business groups.
• Act as a subject matter expert in testing and model validation, collaborating closely with SCADA partners to develop automated packages and remotely test NERC MOD requirements.
• Lead technical and non-technical discussions with employees and customers, manage a vendor equipment database, and effectively prioritize competing project demands to meet deadlines.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering (or a related field) with an active Mexican professional license, a valid driving license, and an active US visa/passport for short-term travel.
• At least 3 years of experience in power system analysis, covering both transient and steady-state analysis, guided by strong fundamental engineering principles.
• Advanced experience with steady-state and transient analysis software, such as PSLF, PSS/E, PSCAD, EMTP, ASPEN, SKM, ETAP, CDEGS, or CYME.
• Deep understanding of detailed and equivalent modeling, with a proven ability to identify system-level constraints and flag unreasonable model values.
• Practical, hands-on substation experience, including point-to-point wiring, equipment selection, and general infrastructure design.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills in English, combined with a proven track record of managing deadlines and expectations for multiple parallel projects.

Nice to Have

• Proven experience working as a consultant and successfully managing energy or industrial projects.
• Solid knowledge of model validation and testing requirements in compliance with NERC, regional ISO, and utility regulations.
• Proficiency in engineering software like ETAP, hands-on programming expertise in Python, and familiarity with templates.
