Power Systems Software Engineer

Camus Energy builds software solutions that facilitate the connection of new load and generation to the grid. They are seeking a Power Systems Software Engineer to develop and validate power systems modeling capabilities, working directly with utility customers and collaborating with the Engineering team to deploy models in a cloud-native architecture.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain high-fidelity power flow & optimal power flow models
• Write and maintain automated tests and validation pipelines that verify model accuracy, catch regressions and ensure solver reliability
• Drive the architecture of solvers that balance accuracy with computational performance
• Build tooling that visualizes and translates model outputs into actionable insights, for internal and client-facing applications
• Partner with our utility customers to understand their datasets and validate model outputs against their system measurements
• Collaborate with Camus’ internal teams to integrate utility models (GIS, ADMS, and time series data) into the Camus platform
• Identify and resolve computational bottlenecks in large-scale grid simulations

Requirements:

• Masters/Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline with 5+ years of industry experience deploying power systems models for real world applications
• Strong foundations in power systems concepts, methods and convex/non-convex optimization solvers for distribution grids
• Experience working with large utility datasets (GIS, SCADA, AMI, network models)
• Experience with OpenDSS or other open source or commercial power flow modeling software
• Ability to translate complex mathematical formulations into production-ready code
• Strong Python skills: you write clean, maintainable, production-ready code, not just analysis scripts
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills
• Comfortable operating with autonomy in a small team, balancing speed of delivery with the engineering discipline that production-grade software demands
• Experience with hosting capacity and interconnection studies
• Experience with transmission grid planning or operations software
• Experience with time-series forecasting, or other AI applications in grid analytics
• Experience with GCP or other cloud platforms
• Able to leverage AI code development tools to accelerate development
