Role Summary

You will own the deterministic logic for GOOSE messaging, load shedding, protection interfacing, islanding, mode transitions, V/f dispatch, and blackstart sequences. You will co-develop with partners during the partner phase and progressively insource Delta-specific apps.

• Develop and validate Real-time control applications (IEC 61131-3 / Python automation) for islanding, grid-forming, blackstart, and protection-coordinated load shedding

• Implement IEC 61850 GOOSE publish/subscribe maps; define the protection-to-control interface with relay engineers. • Design V/f and P/Q droop logic, mode transitions (grid-tied ↔ island ↔ blackstart), and resynchronization sequences with sub-100 ms response

• Co-own the RT Unit Controller SCADA data interface; document tag lists, scan rates, and failover behavior

• Run HIL validation on RTDS / OPAL-RT — develop test cases, automated regression scripts, and certification evidence for IEEE 1547-2018 and UL 1741-SB

• BS/MS in Electrical / Power Engineering; 5+ years (Staff: 8+) in real-time microgrid, substation automation, or protection-and-control development

• Hands-on experience with at least one commercial EMS platform

• Strong IEC 61850 (GOOSE, MMS, SCL/SCD), DNP3, and Modbus TCP experience.

• Working knowledge of IEEE 1547-2018, IEEE 2030.7/8, UL 1741-SB, and NERC PRC standards

• Grid-forming inverter controls, IEEE 2800 / FERC Order 2023 (IBR) familiarity

• Experience with BESS, PCS, and hybrid AC/DC microgrid architectures including SST-based DC grids

• Cybersecurity awareness for substation automation (IEC 62443, NERC CIP-005/007)
