Senior Consultant (f/m/d) Network Studies and Real-Time Simulation

Senior Consultant (f/m/d) Network Studies and Real-Time Simulation

A Snapshot of Your Day

In your new role as a Senior Consultant (f/m/d) Grid Integration and Real-Time Simulation, you will lead advanced power system studies that carry a project from conceptual modelling through to real-time validation. You will build and validate detailed simulation models for the integration of converter-based generation, storage, and electrolysis into modern grids, moving fluently between phasor-domain, electromagnetic-transient, and real-time hardware-in-the-loop environments. Between customer engagements you will present our simulation capabilities to prospective customers, coordinate with transmission system operators and research partners, and review the progress of the studies you oversee against the agreed workplan. To grow our business, you will be actively involved in pre-acquisition and sales activities. You will enlighten the Siemens Energy customer about our products benefits in grid stability and developing the grid of the future.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Executing, leading and engaging with customers to deliver grid integration studies for renewable generation, storage systems, electrolyzes, and power-from-shore installations, from feasibility and tender phases through to detailed project execution
• Developing and validating power system models across the full simulation workflow in system dynamics, covering RMS domain stability studies, electromagnetic-transient domain analysis, and real-time digital simulation of converter-based resources and their integration into AC grids
• Supporting the development of detailed RTDS models for power electronic devices, HVDC converters, renewable generation, storage devices, and their integration into AC grids (from conceptual modeling to real-time validation)
• Designing and executing real-time and hardware-in-the-loop test workflows, including power-hardware-in-the-loop configurations, to validate converter controls and simulation results against physical hardware
• Coordinating and aligning with technical experts from intra and inter industry and university stakeholders, within a multi-cultural environment, and interfacing directly with transmission /distribution system operators, research institutes, and customers
• Supporting business development by preparing technical proposals and effort estimates, presenting the capabilities of our products and solutions, and supporting the global execution teams for new engagements
• Developing automation scripts and reusable modelling frameworks that improve the quality, repeatability, and efficiency of our study delivery
• Presenting simulation results and technical findings to customers, working groups, and regulatory authorities, and mentoring junior team members in modelling and real-time simulation methodologies
• Coordination of external partners and sub suppliers

What You Bring

• University degree in electrical power engineering (M.Sc. or Ph.D.), with a minimum of six years of combined professional and research experience in power system modelling, grid integration and consulting
• Project based expertise across the full simulation workflow, including RMS tools (DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSS®E), electromagnetic-transient tools (PSCAD), and real-time digital simulators (RTDS/RSCAD, OPAL-RT/RT-LAB)
• Demonstrated experience in the development, testing, and validation of grid-forming and grid-following converters, and a strong understanding of their effect on power system stability
• Proven experience with hardware-in-the-loop and power-hardware-in-the-loop testing, including the integration of real-time simulators with power system simulators and converter hardware for closed-loop validation
• Practical experience in the grid integration of renewable generation, storage, and electrolysis or power-to-X installations, including offshore and power-from-shore applications
• Demonstrated successful track record of consulting projects in various simulation domains including Real-time, stakeholder management and business development activities in the power systems simulation market
• Good understanding of German and European grid codes, including fault-ride-through requirements, and reactive power and short-circuit studies, together with proficiency in automation and scripting
• Superior ability to communicate complex technical concepts and business strategies orally and in writing, with proven skills in customer relationship management
• Initiative, analytic, and strategic thinking, customer orientation, and a preference for working within intercultural teams
• Proficient communication skills in German and English
