Power System Studies Engineer (up to Principal) - PJM (REMOTE US OR CANADA)

Job summary

Perform hands-on PSS®E work for PJM and MISO interconnection studies, including load flow, short circuit, and stability analysis. Coordinate with Transmission Owners and advise developers on model tuning and mitigation strategies.

Job details

PJM's queue reform has triggered the largest wave of interconnection studies the market has seen in over a decade — and engineers who can actually do this work are in short supply. root/edge is retained by a growing energy technology firm that pairs power systems expertise with purpose-built software platforms to help utilities and developers run interconnection and grid studies faster and at scale. You'll join a small, focused team and report directly to the Director — no layers, no waiting your turn. Responsibility lands fast: you'll be building things that matter within months, not shadowing for years. It's hands-on from day one, and you're backed by real tooling and an established firm, not figuring it out alone. What you'll own :Hands-on PSS®E work across the full spectrum of PJM and MISO interconnection studies — stand-alone, clustered, as-built, surplus, expedited, and necessar yData review and validation for short circuit, load flow, and stability studies through PJM's Queue Point platfor mDynamic model development, including generic and user-defined models (UDMs )Troubleshooting, validation, and fine-tuning of load flow and dynamic models to PJM's Dynamic Modeling Design Guide (DMDG) requirement sMFO and reactive power capability assessments for PJM complianc eScope of Work (SOW) development, contingency definition, and dispatch list creation across PJM/MISO areas including AEP, ComEd, DVP, DPL, PECO, PEPCO, and PSE GBuilding study base cases and clustering queue projects across PJM study cycle sCoordinating directly with Transmission Owners to resolve comments and finalize deliverable sStability analysis under stressed system conditions and contingency scenario sAdvising developers on deficiencies, model tuning, and mitigation strategie sWhat you bring :3+ years of power systems engineering experience, including at least 9–12 months working directly on PJM studie sHands-on proficiency with PSS® EComfort operating anywhere from Senior to Principal level — we'll calibrate the seat to your experienc e Why now: PJM's queue reform means an unprecedented, sustained volume of interconnection work.
