What this job asks for AI summary
A senior-level power systems engineering role focused on electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies — including subsynchronous resonance, overvoltage, harmonic, and insulation coordination analyses — alongside steady-state load flow and short circuit work. The position involves developing and benchmarking EMT models in tools such as PSCAD and EMTP, advising external clients in generation and transmission, and mentoring junior engineers. Suits an experienced power systems engineer with a strong EMT modelling background.

“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (8)
This role is fundamentally a power systems engineering consulting position — not a software/computer occupation. It was mapped to 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) as the closest available code, but non-technology may be more accurate; the primary day-to-day work is electrical engineering analysis and simulation, not software development or IT operations.
The posting lists PSCAD, EMTP, PSSE, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, and CYMCAP as a group of acceptable equivalents under the Technology section; PSCAD is named first and PSSE appears twice, suggesting both are central. These are captured as a single skill with alternatives reflecting the interchangeable options.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering (with power systems emphasis) or higher — a specific field of study is required, not just any bachelor's degree.
'Control system tuning' and 'HVDC system' experience are explicitly called out as 'a plus' in the Qualifications section.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Location is stated as remote US; occasional travel of 10% or less is noted.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): load flow analysis, short circuit analysis.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
