What this job asks for AI summary
A power systems engineering role focused on bulk transmission planning studies — including load flow, short circuit, dynamic stability, and sub-synchronous resonance analyses — using tools such as PSS/E, PSCAD, and TARA. The position also involves mentoring junior engineers, developing study methodologies, and supporting client engagements. It suits an experienced power systems engineer comfortable leading technical work and contributing to process improvement.

Why we read it this way (6)
This role is a Power Systems / Transmission Planning engineering position, not a software development role. SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code; the role's primary work is power system simulation and grid studies, which does not map cleanly to any standard software-developer or IT SOC. Confidence is Low for this reason.
PSS/E, PSCAD, Aspen, and TARA are all listed together in the qualifications section as a group requirement for power systems software experience. They are distinct tools used for different study types (e.g., PSCAD for electromagnetic transients, Aspen for short circuit), so they are emitted as separate required skills rather than alternatives.
AI and automation tools are mentioned in the qualifications section but with no specific tool named, so no skill entry was created.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
The role is explicitly open to Remote US with only occasional travel (≤10%).
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
