Power Systems Research Scientist

The Role

We are looking for a Power Systems Research Scientist to develop physics-based models of large-scale transmission systems and their impact on electricity markets.

You will work on large-scale optimization and simulation problems, including power flow, congestion, and security-constrained unit commitment and economic dispatch (SCUC/SCED). This role focuses on designing scalable algorithms and high-performance implementations for solving complex power system problems.

This role sits at the core of our research and trading stack, building models and computational tools that directly impact how we understand and operate in electricity markets.

We are particularly interested in rethinking power system optimization and simulation using modern computing (e.g., GPU acceleration).

 

What you'll do: 

• Develop and analyze power network models, including AC/DC power flow, contingency analysis, and security constraints
• Build and enhance large-scale optimization models (e.g., SCUC/SCED) with detailed transmission constraints
• Design and implement scalable algorithms and solver components for large-scale power system optimization
• Identify and address computational bottlenecks in network-const
