DERMS Engineer / Analyst

Responsibilities

• Support integration between DERMS, ADMS, GIS, SCADA, AMI, CIS, DER registration/interconnection systems, customer program systems, and vendor applications.
• Test and troubleshoot DERMS results for Forecasting, Optimization, and aggregated monitoring and controls by validating model inputs, topology, telemetry, DER attributes, constraints, and business-rule assumptions.
• Create model test cases, user acceptance test scripts, regression checks, issue logs, and defect documentation for vendor and internal team resolution.
• Partner with distribution planning, distribution operations, engineering, IT/OT, DER program teams, and vendors to resolve model defects and improve operational outcomes.
• Support DERMS model build processes that convert data files and source-system extracts, including CIM, XML, JSON, GIS exports, SCADA point data, asset data, customer data, DER attributes, and program parameters into the network operations model.
• Maintain and improve DERMS model readiness by identifying missing equipment, topology issues, phase/connectivity errors, stale attributes, telemetry mismatches, DER attribution gaps, and customer/program data discrepancies.
• Coordinate model improvements in GIS, SCADA, ADMS, DERMS Model Manager, asset management systems, customer systems, and other systems that supply or consume the operational model.
• Query databases and source-system repositories to validate model data, reconcile mismatches, investigate defects, support reporting, and document the lineage of model attributes used by DERMS. Develop and maintain repeatable workflows for model quality checks, data cleansing, version control, model promotion, exception tracking, and operational handoff.
• Support ADMS and DERMS Model Manager integration, model governance, process documentation, and long-term network operations modeling support.
• Provide subject matter expertise and recommendations for model data standards, model maintenance procedures, interface improvements, and operational reporting.
• Participate in storm restoration support, application support rotation as needed, and post-event model or application troubleshooting.
