How You’ll Make an Impact
- Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems).
- Deep knowledge of power system protection with an emphasis on busbar protection (fault studies, CT behavior including CT saturation, settings coordination, selectivity).
- Hands-on experience configuring, testing, and validating protection IEDs using engineering tools and IEC 61850 engineering artifacts (ICD/CID/SCL).
- Proficiency in C++ and ADA for protection/embedded application development, along with strong debugging, code review, and unit/integration testing discipline.
- Practical experience with Adwin Pro test systems and OMICRON-based automated testing (test plan design, automation, and regression execution).
- Proven track record of delivering complex features to release milestones—from architecture to implementation and integration.
- Experience in triaging and resolving product feedback end-to-end, including root cause analysis, implementation proposals, and validation.
- Direct customer support and interaction to elicit true requirements and propose solutions that minimize unnecessary firmware changes where feasible.
- Collaboration with support, Product Management, and cross-functional teams; creation of clear operational documentation for engineering and test teams.
- Working knowledge of Azure DevOps (Boards/Repos/Pipelines) or equivalent for backlog management, CI/CD, branching, and version control.
Your Background
- Familiarity with IEC standards for protection systems (IEC 61850, IEC 60255); experience analyzing and closing conformance test findings.
- Experience in test automation at scale, data-driven validation, and integration with automated test system toolchains.
- A strong systems engineering mindset across the product lifecycle; ability to produce concise implementation proposals for complex features.
- Experience in crafting customer-specific adaptations to reduce rework and future changes.
- Scripting skills to accelerate workflows and test harnesses, such as Ruby; comfort in quickly learning new languages or tools.
- Effective communication skills with distributed teams; ability to take ownership of ambiguous, cross-domain tasks outside your comfort zone.
