Develop and maintain high-fidelity power system models to support grid analysis, requirements definition, and product development.
Perform power system simulations and EMT simulations including load flow, short-circuit and fault analysis, transient stability, fault-ride through, and harmonic propagation studies.
Conduct detailed data analysis to evaluate network behaviour, power quality, dynamic performance, and overall system reliability.
Lead technical design reviews and provide engineering guidance across cross-functional teams.
Contribute to IONATE’s product architecture definition and the integration of our solution into electrical networks, ensuring compliance with applicable grid codes and regulatory standards.
Collaborate closely with hardware, software, transformer, and control engineers to validate system-level performance from simulation through to field deployment.
Provide technical input to business development activities, including feasibility assessment, technical proposals, and customer engagements.
Produce clear, structured technical documentation of methodologies, assumptions, analysis, and results to support internal governance and external certification processes.

A degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or related discipline.
Hands-on experience in electrical power system design, modelling and simulation, including power electronics dominated networks (e.g., HVDC, STATCOM, FACTS, grid-forming/grid-following converters)
Strong Proficiency in power system simulation tools such as PSCAD or DIgSILENT PowerFactory
Solid understanding of power system fundamentals, including protection principles, stability, fault behaviour, harmonics, and grid code compliance.
Experience translating customer or system-level requirements into simulation models and technical specifications.
Strong problem-solving capability, with the ability to tackle unfamiliar and complex technical challenges independently.
High level of ownership and delivery focus, with experience managing work packages or projects end-to-end.
Clear and structured technical communication skills (written and verbal), including the ability to present complex analysis to both technical and non-technical stakeholders or customers.
