Power System Studies Engineer - Pjm - Remote

PJM's queue reform has triggered the largest wave of interconnection studies the market has seen in over a decade — and engineers who can actually do this work are in short supply. root/edge is retained by a growing energy technology firm that pairs power systems expertise with purpose-built software platforms to help utilities and developers run interconnection and grid studies faster and at scale.
You'll join a small, focused team and report directly to the Director — no layers, no waiting your turn. Responsibility lands fast: you'll be building things that matter within months, not shadowing for years. It's hands‑on from day one, and you're backed by real tooling and an established firm, not figuring it out alone.
What you own:
Hands‑on PSS®E work across the full spectrum of PJM and MISO interconnection studies — stand‑alone, clustered, as‑built, surplus, expedited, and necessary
Data review and validation for short circuit, load flow, and stability studies through PJM's Queue Point platform
Dynamic model development, including generic and user‑defined models (UDMs)
Troubleshooting, validation, and fine‑tuning of load flow and dynamic models to PJM's Dynamic Modeling Design Guide (DMDG) requirements
MFO and reactive power capability assessments for PJM compliance
Scope of Work (SOW) development, contingency definition, and dispatch list creation across PJM/MISO areas including AEP, ComEd, DVP, DPL, PECO, PEPCO, and PSEG
Building study base cases and clustering queue projects across PJM study cycles
Coordinating directly with Transmission Owners to resolve comments and finalize deliverables
Stability analysis under stressed system conditions and contingency scenarios
Advising developers on deficiencies, model tuning, and mitigation strategies
What you bring:
3+ years of power systems engineering experience, including at least 9–12 months working directly on PJM studies
Hands‑on proficiency with PSS®E
Comfort operating anywhere from Senior to Principal level — we'll calibrate the seat to your experience
Why now:PJM's queue reform means an unprecedented, sustained volume of interconnection work. This is one of the most technically demanding and in‑demand corners of the grid right now — and a small‑team, direct‑to‑leadership seat is a rare way in.
Fully remote, open to candidates based anywhere in the US or Canada.
