Microgrid Validation Engineer

• Build validation frameworks and test automation for microgrid control software, including simulation environments and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
• Define test cases and performance criteria in partnership with controls engineers, power systems engineers, utilities, and external stakeholders.
• Integrate field learnings into validation by analyzing operating data and improving simulation fidelity.
• Maintain validation assets, including HIL environments, test infrastructure, and technical documentation.

This role directly accelerates the clean energy transition by ensuring microgrid control software operates safely and reliably at scale, enabling more renewable energy and data center capacity to come online faster.

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 2–5+ years of experience in real-time system HIL validation, SIL testing, or power system model verification.
• Hands-on experience with real-time simulators (SIL, HIL) and simulation tools like Simulink or Modelica.
• Familiarity with industrial control programming languages (C++, IEC 61131-3, Structured Text, etc.) and modern software development practices.
