Power Systems Engineer - EMT Modeling/Simulation & Test Validation

Exowatt is revolutionizing the energy landscape for the AI era with our groundbreaking P3 system that captures solar energy, stores it as heat, and generates electricity on demand.

Founded in 2023 and backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Sam Altman, and Felicis, we're committed to providing clean, modular, and scalable power that meets the rapidly growing demands of AI infrastructure.

Our mission is to make sustainable renewable energy always available and almost free, enabling technological advancement while protecting our planet.

We are looking for a technically curious Power Systems Electrical Engineer to join our systems study team.

You will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and analyzing complex power system models, as well as designing and executing test and validation strategies for advanced power conversion systems.

Whether you are a seasoned expert or a recent graduate with a strong academic foundation in power electronics and transients, you will play a key role in simulating the "invisible" dynamics of the modern electrical grid and validating real-world hardware behavior against those models.

• Build and execute system-level power system simulations using PSCAD/EMTDC or MATLAB/Simulink to analyze transient, steady-state, and dynamic phenomena
• Perform impact studies for Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) such as generators, solar, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
• Conduct Sub-Synchronous Oscillation (SSO) studies, Control Interaction (CI) analysis, and Transient Overvoltage (TOV) assessments
• Develop and maintain simulation environments for power electronics, energy storage, power conversion, and grid-interactive systems

• Create and execute test plans, test procedures, and validation protocols for electrical and power system components and integrated systems
• Perform model-in-the-loop (MIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and lab-based power converter testing as appropriate
