Overview
Join to apply for the Power Systems Engineer, Megapack role at Tesla
In this role you will help the Tesla team to design, model, and integrate our utility scale batteries to the electricity network, enabling the green energy transformation. Tesla is looking for power systems engineers to build on our in-house modelling and grid connection study capability for our energy storage systems at mass scales. You will interface with utilities, independent power providers, and system operators in technical power systems discussions, and influence our systems design to facilitate scaling on the grid. You will be responsible for developing detailed models of our technology and controls strategies operating on the grid and forming microgrids of different sizes. The role is diverse, fast-paced, and spans multiple levels of electrical, controls, firmware design, and grid-operations. You will work at the cutting edge of technology and help to define the future of the electrical grid.
What You\'ll Do
- Act as the technical representative for power flow, short circuit, and dynamic modelling discussions with customers
- Ability to articulate power systems analyses/results and the interaction of Tesla\'s technology with the grid
- Work with both the product design team and the firmware/software teams to keep models current with the technology roadmap
- Work with the product design team to feed power systems requirement into the product specification to influence system architecture
- Work with customers and business development team to create models to represent the Tesla Energy system in power flow and agile modelling software tools
- Continue to increase our in-house capability to model Tesla\'s product in power systems analysis software, to include microgrid applications with various interconnected resources and larger "macro" grid applications
What You\'ll Bring
- Bachelor level study minimum in Electrical Engineering, with demonstrable knowledge of Power Systems Engineering
- Hands on experience with at least two power system modelling tools: PSCAD, PSS\E, DIgSILENT, SSAT
- Experience with modelling and simulations of inverter-based generation
- Experience with performance of interconnection and engineering studies like stability, protection coordination, harmonics, insulation coordination, arc flash, and ground grid analyses
- Strong working knowledge of control theory, ability to implement PID control
- Ability to work cross functionally with customers, engineering, business development, and deployment personnel
- Direct experience with AEMO is an advantage
