This role is intended for an early-career engineer with two to three years of experience who is excited to work at the intersection of transmission planning, large load interconnection, data analytics, and automation.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The primary focus of this position is&nbsp;data&nbsp;center and large load interconnection studies, rather than traditional generator interconnection work. The engineer will support analysis of how large electrical loads connect to the transmission system,&nbsp;identify&nbsp;likely network&nbsp;upgrade risks, evaluate mitigation options, and help guide projects through market and utility processes. The role will also support technical engagement with grid operators, consultants, utilities, and internal development teams.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The ideal candidate combines strong fundamentals in power systems with a data-driven mindset, comfort working in ambiguous and fast-evolving market environments, and the ability to automate repetitive analytical workflows using Python and modern AI-enabled tools.&nbsp;They will bring a practical understanding of how transmission constraints, utility processes, ISO/RTO procedures, and stakeholder developments affect the viability of large load projects. They will be comfortable moving between detailed technical analysis and broader market process discussions.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Key Responsibilities</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:120,&quot;335559739&quot;:160}">&nbsp;</span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Conduct steady-state transmission system analysis using TARA or related software to evaluate large load and data center interconnection opportunities,&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">identify</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">&nbsp;network upgrade risks, and assess mitigation pathways.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Support technical analysis associated with large load interconnection and transmission service requests across U.S. markets, with emphasis on ERCOT, MISO, SPP, and PJM.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Review utility, ISO, and consultant study results to&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">determine</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">&nbsp;feasibility, upgrade exposure, and schedule risk for prospective projects.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Develop data-driven tools, screening methods, and dashboards to improve interconnection evaluation, portfolio prioritization, and decision-making.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Use Python to automate data processing, study workflows, case management, and repetitive analytical tasks.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Leverage AI-driven tools such as Perplexity and GitHub Copilot,&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">where</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">appropriate</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">, to improve workflow speed, document review, research efficiency, code development, data organization, and technical screening.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Participate in interconnection scoping meetings and other technical discussions with utilities, consultants, and grid authorities.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Monitor and assess transmission planning, queue reform, and large load integration developments that affect project strategy in key markets.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Support technical due diligence on transmission and interconnection constraints for prospective development opportunities.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Provide</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">&nbsp;technical guidance to internal teams on transmission and interconnection considerations, including upgrade risk, study assumptions, and market-specific process requirements.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Attend and contribute to stakeholder meetings and calls in ERCOT, MISO, SPP, and PJM, especially those related to data centers, large load integration, interconnection policy, queue management, and transmission planning.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Track stakeholder initiatives, tariff changes, and policy developments related to large load interconnection and communicate key implications to internal stakeholders.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Skills &amp;
