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; 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, along with the 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 in analyzing and addressing conformance test findings.
- Experience in test automation at scale, data-driven validation, and integration with automated test system toolchains.
- Strong systems engineering mindset across the product lifecycle; ability to produce concise implementation proposals for complex features.
- Experience crafting customer-specific adaptations to reduce rework and future changes.
- Scripting abilities to accelerate workflows and test harnesses, with languages such as Ruby; comfort learning new languages and tools quickly.
- Effective communication skills for working with distributed teams; ability to take ownership of ambiguous, cross-domain tasks outside the comfort zone.
- Support for type tests and factory/acceptance testing, with the ability to produce step-by-step operation guides for stable system operation.
