Job description

As a Power System Protection Engineer, you will be responsible for providing expert technical support and solutions for power system protection schemes. Your role will involve teaching, advising, and supporting customers to ensure the reliability and safety of power grids.

At Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL), our mission is to make electric power safer, more reliable, and more economical. Our company prides itself on embracing the values of quality, reliability, integrity, and excellent customer service. We were named as one of Fortune Magazine's 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials and among the top Best Workplaces for Baby Boomers. Working at SEL means having the opportunity to explore different career options – from customer service, sales, technical support, to management. We encourage professional development because when you are your best, that is when we are our best. So, what do you say? Ready to take the next step?

As a Power System Protection Engineer, a typical day might include:

  • Working with customers to apply new technologies or solutions to their power systems.
  • Designing models and/or demonstrations of new technologies or solutions to teach customers how we can enhance their system(s).
  • Supporting SEL products and solution troubleshooting to get to root cause of a problem.
  • Analyzing responses of protective relays to power system faults.
  • Teaching customers how to use SEL products or how protective relays protect primary electrical equipment.
  • Contributing to and reviewing white papers, application guides, industry journals, and technical papers.

This role might be for you if you:

  • Desire to learn how the power system responds to system faults and how protective relays detect that.
  • Desire to be involved in the cutting-edge technology of protective relaying.
  • Have a passion for teaching others for their growth and for yours.
  • Enjoy applying creativity to your engineering solutions every day.
  • Enjoy every day being different versus everyday being predictable.

Required Qualifications and Abilities:

  • A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. A master’s degree is preferred.
  • 2+ years of experience with power system protection and relays (preferred)
  • Relevant work experience and knowledge of utility and/or industrial power systems with an emphasis on protection, control, and operations (preferred)
  • Ability to build and maintain strong relationships with customers
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a desire to learn new technologies
  • The ability to work both independently and in a team environment
