What this job asks for AI summary
A senior-level transmission planning role focused on bulk power system studies — including load flow, short circuit, dynamic stability, and sub-synchronous resonance analyses — using tools such as PSS/E, PSCAD, and Aspen. The position involves leading and mentoring engineers, developing study methodologies, managing client relationships, and supporting business development. It suits an experienced power systems engineer comfortable owning complex grid studies end to end.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
This role is a power systems engineering position (transmission planning studies, bulk power system analysis) — not a software/IT occupation. No SOC code in the 15-12xx range cleanly fits; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code, though this role is really an electrical/power systems engineering specialty. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is listed as the runner-up given the analytical and study-methodology focus, but neither is a strong match.
PSS/E, PSCAD, Aspen, and TARA are listed together as a group in both the responsibilities and qualifications sections. They are treated as a family of interchangeable power system software tools (the JD uses 'such as'), with PSS/E as the primary named tool and the others captured as alternatives.
Python (automation/programming) is explicitly marked 'preferred' in the qualifications section.
The role is open to Remote US with occasional travel (≤10%). No specific metro or state is identified.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): power system steady state analysis, short circuit analysis, dynamic stability analysis.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
