Teams at Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO)

Performs transmission and generation power-flow, contingency, voltage, and transient stability analyses for the Bulk Electric System. Builds EMS/PSSE models, evaluates outage-driven congestion, recommends grid reliability mitigations, and approves or reschedules outages. Coordinates with stakeholders and internal operations, markets, and planning teams while leading automation and process-improvement initiatives.

Assess long-term regulatory, economic, and industry trends affecting generation and transmission infrastructure. Evaluate grid reliability and adequacy, analyze gas-electric interdependencies, identify emerging risks, and develop strategic recommendations. Prepare reports and presentations for internal teams, regulators, and industry leaders while collaborating across teams and engaging external stakeholders to support policy alignment and long-term energy system planning.

Lead applied power-system planning R&D for MISO by evaluating emerging grid technologies, developing analytical methods and stability-analysis workflows, and integrating findings into planning standards and operational processes. The role covers power-flow and dynamic-stability studies, system monitoring and validation, long-range planning, interconnection workflows, reliability, markets, and large-load impacts. It requires a master’s degree, at least 10 years of relevant electric-energy experience, and strong power-system modeling expertise.
