Power Systems Engineer (EMEA)
Description
Join Tesla in building the power grid of the future with clean, sustainable energy. We're looking for a skilled Power Systems Engineer to help design, model, and integrate our battery storage solutions, accelerating the green-energy transformation.
Tesla is looking for a Power Systems Engineer to develop in-house models and support our energy storage, solar, and electric charging projects. You will interface with utilities, independent power providers, and system operators in technical power systems discussions, and influence our systems design to facilitate scaling on the grid. You will be responsible for supporting utility-scale projects in the EMEA region. The role is diverse, fast-paced, and spans multiple levels of electrical, controls, firmware design, and grid operations.
Responsibilities
- Act as the technical representative for power flow, short circuit, and dynamic modelling discussions with customers and AHJs, showcasing the ability to articulate power systems analyses and results, as well as the interaction of Tesla's technology with the grid
- Continue to increase our in-house capability to model Tesla's product in commercial power systems simulation platforms
- Work with the product design team to feed power systems requirements into the product specification to influence system architecture
- Influence and shape industry requirements for the benefit of the grid
Requirements
- Expert-level knowledge of at least three power system modelling tools: PSCAD, PSS/E, PSLF, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PowerWorld, ETAP, SKM, CYMCAP, or CDEGS
- Experience with modelling and simulations of inverter-based generation
- Demonstrated experience with performance of interconnection and engineering studies, such as stability, protection coordination, harmonics, insulation coordination, arc flash, and ground grid analyses
- Strong working knowledge of control theory and the ability to implement PID control
- Degree in electrical engineering with a power systems focus
- Ability to work cross-functionally with customers, engineering, business development, and deployment personnel
- Direct experience with EMEA utilities and ISOs is a plus
- Prior experience with HIL tools (RTDS, Typhoon, OPAL-RT) is preferred
- Fluency in one or more official EU languages (apart from English) is a plus
