Job Description Summary
Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of sys-tems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of al-ternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and imple-mentation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and ex-ecuted. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.
Impacts quality of own work and the work of others on the team. Executes standard opera-tional/technical tasks typically subject to instructions and work routines. There is latitude to rearrange the sequence to complete task/duties based on changing work situations.
Job Description
Essential Responsibilities
• Insulation Coordination Studies: Determination (by simulation) of temporary and transient overvoltage stresses on equipment and surge arrester energy ratings.
• Network studies: Confirmation of the correct interaction between the equipment, its control system and the rest of the network.
