ENCOURAGED TO APPLY At Lonestar Integrated Solutions, our passion
to MAKE IT HAPPEN drives everything we do. We are seeking an
experienced and licensed Power System Studies Engineer to join our
engineering team. The ideal candidate will have a deep
understanding of power systems analysis, electrical engineering
principles, and experience in conducting system studies to support
the design, operation, and optimization of power grids and
electrical infrastructure. This role requires proficiency in
advanced power system software, strong analytical skills, and the
ability to deliver high-quality engineering solutions in a
fast-paced environment. Responsibilities Conduct detailed power
system studies, including load flow, short-circuit, transient
stability, arc flash, and protection coordination analyses. Develop
relay settings files. Develop, modify, and validate electrical
system models using industry-standard software tools (e.g., PSS/E,
ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSCAD, SKM). Build accurate models of
power systems to simulate and assess the behavior of electrical
grids under both normal and fault conditions. Provide technical
expertise in the design and optimization of power distribution
networks, substations, and protective relaying systems. Collaborate
with multidisciplinary teams to ensure system designs meet
operational and safety standards, codes, and regulations. Ensure
that power system designs and studies comply with applicable
national and international standards (e.g., IEEE, ANSI, NERC, NEC).
Prepare reports and documentation for regulatory compliance and
permit submissions. Investigate and resolve power system issues,
such as voltage fluctuations, system reliability problems, and
protective relay maloperations. Work closely with operations and
maintenance teams to troubleshoot and optimize system performance.
Manage and execute engineering studies within specified project
timelines and budgets. Prepare technical reports, presentations,
and recommendations for internal and external stakeholders. Provide
guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and support staff. Stay
current with emerging technologies, industry trends, and best
practices in power system engineering. Participate in professional
development opportunities and maintain a Professional Engineer (PE)
license. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering,
Power Systems, or a related field. A Master’s degree is a plus.
Must possess a valid Professional Engineer (PE) license in
[State/Country], or the ability to obtain licensure within a
specified time period. Minimum 5-7 years of experience in power
system studies and analysis. Proven expertise in using power system
analysis software (e.g., PSS/E, ETAP, PowerWorld, SKM, PSCAD).
Experience in utility-scale power systems, transmission, and
distribution networks. Strong knowledge of power system analysis
techniques (e.g., load flow, fault analysis, transient stability,
etc.). Familiarity with grid modeling, control strategies, and
optimization methods. Solid understanding of protective relaying,
fault current analysis, and coordination. Experience in conducting
arc flash hazard analysis and protection system studies. Strong
problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and attention to
detail. Excellent written and verbal communication skills,
including the ability to present technical findings to both
technical and non-technical audiences. Ability to work
independently and in teams, managing multiple projects
simultaneously. Willingness to travel as needed for field
investigations, client meetings, or project coordination. Knowledge
of relevant industry codes and standards (e.g., IEEE, NEC, NERC,
etc.). Preferred Qualifications Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD)
in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or related field.
Familiarity with emerging technologies in renewable energy
integration, smart grids, and energy storage systems. Certification
in power systems analysis or related technical fields is a plus.
Physical Requirements Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and
working on a computer. May occasionally need to lift up to 15 lbs.
Benefits Medical, dental, life, and vision insurance. 401(k)
