The driving force behind our success has always been the people of AspenTech. What drives us, is our aspiration, our desire and ambition to keep pushing the envelope, overcoming any hurdle, challenging the status quo to continually find a better way. You will experience these qualities of passion, pride and aspiration in many ways — from a rich set of career development programs to support of community service projects to social events that foster fun and relationship building across our global community.

The RoleAs a Senior Power Systems Engineer, you will lead key technical elements of customer projects focused on Energy Management Systems (EMS) and Generation Management Systems (GMS). Using AspenTech OSI’s Monarch platform, you’ll work closely with global utility customers to configure, model, and implement complex real-time power system control solutions. This role combines deep power systems knowledge, customer interaction, and hands-on system integration.

Your Impact

• Work directly with customers to define requirements for advanced control systems for utilities, including Energy Management Systems (EMS) / Generation Management Systems (GMS) / Distributed Energy Resources Management system (DERMS).
• Understand project requirements through interactions with project engineering and other stakeholders, and design solutions to meet these requirements.
• Carry out power system modelling, Analysis, and electrical design aspects of projects from the feasibility stage through implementation and operations.
• Design and development of custom applications to meet project requirements.
• Create test plans and procedures and perform testing (FAT / SAT / Availability testing) for product releases including unit (module by module) and algorithm proof testing.
• Perform tuning of power system model to ensure power system applications will meet customer and industry requirements.
• Consult on power system applications to ensure the effective use and maintenance of a customer's power system application.
• Assist in creating project and product documentation as needed, and provide training and support for end users
• Stay up-to-date with the latest industry standards and trends.

What You'll Need
