As a result, generation developers, large load developers, and electric utilities are forced to plan and build with imperfect data and slow study workflows, making interconnection and long-term planning slower, riskier, and more uncertain.\nPiq Energy accelerates the energy transition with an automated network model management system and autonomous grid planning and interconnection software. Our products and technology supercharge technical analysis around transmission and distribution grids for generation, storage, and load developers, as well as utilities and system operators across North America and Europe.\nRole\nPiq Energy is looking for a talented transmission planning engineer with coding experience to expand our US team! You will design, build, test, and iterate on our core autonomous grid planning product. In addition, you will be managing grid data and models, support our power system analytics team and our users!\nMinimum Requirements\nNote: candidates that do not meet the minimum requirements may still be considered for a more junior role.\nDegree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Power Systems.\nAt least 5 years of industry experience in roles at a utility, system operator, engineering consultancy or similar.\nHigh interconnection fluency (cluster processes, study phases, upgrades/costs, queue dynamics)\nGood understanding of technical standards and regulations related to electricity grid planning, development, operation, and interconnection.\nHands-on experience with commercial power system analysis tools for steady-state and dynamic studies and plant model building (e.g., PSSE, TARA, PowerWorld).\nProven ability to manage and maintain detailed electricity network models.\nWorking knowledge in Python, particularly for automating grid studies, performing data analysis, and generating reports.\nSelf-motivated with the ability to work autonomously and manage time effectively.\nExcellent collaboration and communication skills with a strong customer-focused mindset.\nBonus\nExperience with open source power system simulation software (e.g. PowSyBl, pandapower, PyPSA).\nExperience with advanced analysis techniques, such as stability, EMT, or real-time simulations\nExperience with version control systems (e.g., Git), modern software development tools and frameworks, containerization (e.g., Docker), and cloud computing platforms.\nWorking knowledge of the CIM (Common Information Model) standard for power systems.\nCompensation\nThe base pay range for this role is $180,000 - $200,000 per year, plus equity.\nAbout Piq Energy\nPiq Energy’s mission is to accelerate the energy transition by automating power grid simulation and analysis for project developers and utilities.\nOur values\nKindness: Be kind and candid to yourself and others.\nExcellence: Aim high and continuously improve.\nSustainability: Consider your capacity to maintain yourself, your communities, and the environment.\nHumility: Serve a greater goal, stay curious and open to learning.\nFreedom and Responsibility: You have the freedom to make decisions and the responsibility to take ownership of those decisions.\nWhy join us\nShape the future of the power grid.\nWork with a passionate, mission-driven team.\nCollaborate in a global, remote-friendly environment.\nBe part of the early team and contribute to shaping the company’s direction.\nAccessibility\nPiq Energy encourages individuals of all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds and all gender and sexual identities to apply for this position.
