• Partner with architects, systems engineers, and utility customers to define and deliver customer-centric, technically robust solutions that improve reliability, visibility, and flexibility of grid systems.
• Monitor emerging technologies (cloud-native services, model-driven engineering, AI / ML) for relevance to the T&D domain and contribute to technology roadmaps, product strategy, and IP generation through patents, whitepapers, and technical forums.
• Mentor and guide software engineers, promote a culture of technical excellence and innovation, and represent the organization in customer engagements, RFPs, and industry events.
