Company Description
EdgeTunePower Inc. (ETP) specializes in advanced Power Management Systems (PMS) and Power Plant Controllers (PPC) for data centers, power plants, microgrids, and large industrial facilities.
In addition, ETP provides advanced real-time simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing services, enabling clients to validate control strategies, de-risk integration, and ensure grid compliance prior to deployment.
The company serves utilities, ISOs, data center developers, independent power producers (IPPs), OEMs, EPC firms, and large industrial clients seeking high-performance and resilient power system solutions.
About the Role
EdgeTunePower is seeking an experienced Senior Protection & Control Engineer to support the design, analysis, validation, and implementation of protection systems for complex power systems.
The successful candidate will work across projects involving data centers, conventional generation, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), inverter-based resources (IBRs), microgrids, and grid-connected and islanded power systems. This role requires strong technical expertise in protection philosophy, coordination, relay settings, and protection system studies.
Key Responsibilities
- Protection philosophy, design, and development
- Protection coordination for conventional generation, BESS, IBRs, and large loads
- Relay settings, coordination, and protection system studies
- Data center protection - UPS, BESS, cooling systems, backup generation, MV/LV distribution, and critical loads
- Grid-connected and off-grid/islanded systems
- Generator, transformer, bus, feeder, and motor protection
- Grounding and ground-fault protection
- Protection challenges associated with inverter-limited fault current
- Arc-flash, short-circuit, and equipment duty assessments
- Experience with SEL and other major protection platforms
- Protection validation, commissioning, and HIL testing experience is a strong asset
Why Join EdgeTunePower?
At EdgeTunePower, you will have the opportunity to work on technically challenging projects involving AI data centers, BESS, renewable energy, microgrids, advanced power system controls, and real-time/HIL validation. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary engineering team working on the next generation of reliable and resilient power systems.
