Solution Engineer Power Systems
Smart Grid Technology
Remote USA
Are you passionate about addressing the most pressing technical challenges facing the US grid, from low inertia and oscillations to large-scale renewable integration and NERC reliability requirements?
Do you thrive at the intersection of engineering expertise, customer collaboration, and real-world impact? If so, this could be your next big move.
The Company A Global Leader in Grid Innovation
Our client is reshaping how grids are planned and operated across North America and beyond. Their mission: deliver stable, resilient, low-carbon power systems that enable utilities and operators to meet Net Zero goals while maintaining compliance with stringent US reliability and interconnection standards.
With advanced analytics and dynamic stability solutions, including oscillation detection, PMU/WAMS-based monitoring, and inertia management, they are at the forefront of grid modernization.
The Role Solution Engineer (Power Systems)
As a Solution Engineer, youll work closely with utilities, ISOs/RTOs, and grid operators across the US, applying advanced simulations and monitoring tools to help them solve stability and compliance challenges.
This is an ideal role for an engineer ready to step into a customer-facing, solution-driven position, with a clear career pathway toward senior technical leadership.
Key Responsibilities
- Customer Engagement: Partner with utilities, ISOs, and transmission operators to align solutions with technical and regulatory requirements.
- Dynamic Stability Expertise: Deliver presentations and demonstrations showing how to address oscillations, ROCOF, reduced inertia, and weak-grid issues.
- PMU/WAMS Analytics: Showcase how wide-area monitoring data can support compliance, oscillation detection, and real-time situational awareness.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for CleanTech Talent. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
