**Electrical Engineer Entry Level (SAS)**
**Roles and Responsibilities**
POWER Engineers, Inc. is seeking an Entry-level Electrical Engineer.The successful applicant will be responsible for performing electrical studies and/or developing and troubleshooting supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems for utility and industrial/commercial clients. Applicable power systems primarily include conventional and renewable generation facilities, substations, transmission systems, and distribution systems. Activities will include one or more of the following:
Protective Relaying: short circuit and symmetrical component analysis, time-current coordination, protection scheme and criteria development, relay settings calculation, integration with SCADA systems, NERC compliance, and arc flash analysis. Applicable software: AcSELerator Quickset (SEL-5030), AcSELerator Architect, GE Enervista, ASPEN Oneliner, SKM-PTW, ETAP, RSCAD/RTDS
Power System Planning Studies: steady-state real and reactive power flow including outage contingencies, generation interconnect feasibility, P-V and Q-V analysis for voltage stability margins, dynamic stability performance, automation of large batch simulations, working with models from NERC regional entities (WECC, MRO, SERC etc.), NERC compliance. Applicable Software: PSS/E, PSLF, PowerWorld, Python Scripting
Design Studies: substation grounding, corona and electric and magnetic fields, insulation coordination (lightning, switching surge, and contamination performance), transient (time domain) simulation, power quality (harmonics, voltage flicker, over/under voltage, etc.), motor starting, AC interference (transmission line interaction with railroads and pipelines). Applicable Software: CDEGS, ATP-EMTP, PSCAD
Networking and Communications: design and configure network and communication paths for Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), protective relays, meters, Human Machine Interface (HMIs), PLCs and other SCADA system equipment; develop basic specifications for fiber optic, microwave, power line carrier, or radio communication paths; travel to project sites to troubleshoot and commission network and communication systems. Applicable network and communication protocols: DNP, Modbus, SEL Communication Protocol, Goose Messaging, IEC 61850
Logic and Control Systems: develop and implement logic and control schemes for remote and local operation of power system equipment; develop programs on various platforms for implementation of these schemes; travel to project sites to test and commission the control schemes. Applicable Logic and Control Platforms: SEL RTAC, Orion, Cooper SMP, GE-D20
Data Acquisition: Prepare points lists of all data to be transferred between control centers and controlled apparatus, assign and program data addressing and routing information, develop Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens, travel to project sites to test and commission data transfer schemes. Applicable Software: Wonderware, Clearview, AcSELerator RTAC, Visual Basic, OSIPI, Python scripting, etc.
The successful applicant must demonstrate aptitude in the following:
+ Integrity
+ Initiative and self sufficiency
+ Spoken and written communication
+ Troubleshooting and problem solving
+ Interpersonal relations
+ Organization
**Required Education/Experience**
+ Must be a recent engineering graduate, or enrolled in a university pursuing a degree in engineering
+ Must have completed a circuits course covering AC and DC systems
+ Must have strong troubleshooting skillsand work successfully in a customer-focused, project-oriented environment
+ Must be willing to travel on occasion
+ Must be able to work in the office at least 3 days or more per week
+ Must be legally authorized to work permanently in the U.S. without the need for work sponsorship
**Desired Education/Experience**
Preference is given to applicants with any of the following:
+ Pursuit of a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science
+ Within six (6) months of graduation
+ GPA above 3.0
+ Power system courses covering topics such as three-phase power, load flow and reactive compensation, protective relaying, symmetrical components, transmission line theory, power system transients, dynamic stability, and power system electromagnetics
+ Internships and experience in the technical areas and software listed in the Job Description section
+ Engineer In Training (EIT) certification, with the expectation to work toward professional engineering registration (PE)
