This role focuses on the development, modelling, and validation of control algorithms for grid-connected converters, including weak-grid stability, synchronization, and grid-code-related performance.\nKey Responsibilities\n1. Grid-Side Converter Control Development\nDevelop and refine grid-forming control strategies, including VSM-type control, droop control, and other voltage-forming algorithms.\nDesign grid-following control loops, covering active/reactive power control, current regulation, and sequence-component-based controllers.\nEnsure converter stability and robustness under weak-grid conditions, grid disturbances, and low short-circuit-ratio operation.\n2. Synchronization & PLL Development\nDevelop and validate advanced PLL architectures (e.g., SOGI-PLL, CDSC-PLL, adaptive PLLs) for disturbed or weak grids.\nEvaluate synchronization performance across various grid conditions including dips, unbalance, harmonics, and dynamic frequency changes.\n3. MATLAB/Simulink Modeling & Simulation\nBuild and maintain detailed converter, network, and controller models in MATLAB/Simulink and related toolchains.\nConduct small-signal stability analysis, impedance-based assessments, harmonic studies, and transient simulations.\nUse MIL/SIL/HIL workflows to ensure accuracy from model to implementation and support system-level optimization.\n4. Real-Time Validation & Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing\nValidate control algorithms using real-time simulators such as Typhoon HIL, dSPACE, OPAL-RT, or RTDS.\nReproduce grid-disturbance scenarios including islanding, fault ride-through, harmonic distortions, frequency deviations, and resonance issues.\nVerify robustness and compliance across a wide range of operating conditions.\n5. Weak-Grid Engineering & Stability\nAnalyze converter-grid interactions, resonance behavior, and control-loop sensitivity under weak-grid conditions.\nDevelop mitigation strategies such as adaptive current control, virtual impedance, damping algorithms, and enhanced synchronization filters.\nSupport design decisions related to filter tuning, grid-compliance behavior, and multi-converter interoperability.\n6. System Integration & Cross-Functional Support\nCollaborate with electrical, software, and system-engineering teams on grid-converter interfaces.\nSupport commissioning activities, troubleshooting, parameter tuning, and compliance-driven testing.\nPrepare high-quality documentation, simulation reports, stability assessments, and validation packages for internal and external stakeholders.\nRequired Skills & Experience\nStrong background in power electronics, grid-connected converters, and renewable-energy integration.\nExpertise in grid-forming and grid-following control concepts, including dq0-based current control and voltage-forming control structures.\nProficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, model-based development, and converter-grid interaction modelling.\nExperience using HIL/CHIL platforms for real-time testing (e.g., dSPACE, RTDS, Typhoon HIL, OPAL-RT).\nSolid understanding of PLL systems, harmonic behavior, weak-grid dynamics, and grid-code-related control functions.\nMinimum 3 years of industry experience in converter control, power electronics, or grid-integration engineering.\nSummary of Core Competencies\nThe ideal candidate brings:\nStrong knowledge of grid-forming and grid-following converter control strategies.\nExpertise in MATLAB/Simulink modelling, analysis, and control-algorithm development.\nExperience with real-time testing\nRobust understanding of power electronics, control loops, and dynamic grid behavior.\nAt least 3 years of relevant industry experience.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3879,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T09:28:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.797,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":22,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:6","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ltts-lscmsc-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ltts-lscmsc-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T15:58:56Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16034,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7191},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7191"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fltts-lscmsc-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fltts-lscmsc-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fltts-lscmsc-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ltts-lscmsc-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fltts-lscmsc-engineer"}]}
