One of the leading Renewable Energy System Integrator involved in Solar and Battery Storage is currently looking for a Simulation Engineer to join the Engineering Team! The ideal candidate should have experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop experience. The simulations will be used as a digital twin for the real system in the field by creating real-time electrical simulations of project sites and sub systems.
Simulation Engineer Primary Responsibilities:
- Design hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems that have the ability to simulate both electrical and communication systems
- Design, purchase, install, configure, and operate HIL systems to assist with both development and service teams
- Install wiring for Analog and Digital Signals
- Install power equipment (DC power supplies, uninterruptible power supplies, power distribution units etc)
- Experience installing networking and Programmable Logic Control (PLC) equipment
- Translate Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) from customers and sales into electrical schematics
- Create real-time simulation models by using electrical schematics
- Create SCADA panels to interact with running real-time electrical simulations
- Write python code so that it interacts with electrical simulations for automated testing
- Conduct simulations and automated tests to help validate and verify Energy Storage Systems (ESS) controls
- Create time series data to simulate signals that will vary over time such as
- Dynamic Load
- Solar Production
- Work alongside the field services and on-site technicians to reproduce field problems
Simulation Engineer Job Requirements:
- Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems, with Typhoon HIL preferred
- Communications/protocol experience with Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA, Ethernet/IP and CANbus is preferred
- Experience with automated testing
Simulation Engineer Preferred/Nice to Have Experience:
- Power Generation experience (ESS, Inverters, Converters etc..)
- Matlab/Simulink experience
- Python programming experience
- Experience with PLC based products
- Experience with protocol analyzers, tcpdump, Wireshark
- Experience with Atlassian Jira and Confluence
- Experience with GIT
- Experience with test case management such as Jira X-Ray
Simulation Engineer Qualifications:
- Bachelors Degree in Electrical, Electronics or Computer Engineering
- 5+ years of simulation experience
- Ability to work in Agile Methodologies
