Power Grid Engineer information

What is the difference between Power Grid Engineer vs Power Systems Engineer?

AspectPower Grid EngineerPower Systems Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, PE license often preferredBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, PE license beneficial
Work EnvironmentFieldwork, substations, power plants, grid infrastructureDesign, analysis, simulation, and planning of electrical systems
Industry UsageUtility companies, transmission operators, grid infrastructure firmsConsulting firms, utilities, engineering firms, research institutions

Power Grid Engineers focus on the physical infrastructure, maintenance, and operation of electrical transmission and distribution networks. Power Systems Engineers primarily work on designing, analyzing, and optimizing electrical systems and power flow. While both roles require electrical engineering expertise and similar credentials, their daily tasks and work environments differ, with Power Grid Engineers more involved in fieldwork and infrastructure, and Power Systems Engineers concentrating on system design and analysis.

What does a power grid engineer do?

A power grid engineer designs, maintains, and improves electrical power transmission and distribution systems to ensure reliable and efficient delivery of electricity. They analyze grid performance, develop solutions for system upgrades, and often use specialized software and tools, requiring knowledge of electrical engineering principles and safety standards.

Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you've come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced EM/IR Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, simulating, and verifying high-performance digital, analog and RF integrated circuits for applications such as 5G, IoT, and satellite communications. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, develop innovative design solutions, and ensure that products meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

Lead EM/IR drop analysis for complex SoC designs at block and full-chip levels across all process corners

Define and implement power delivery network (PDN) strategy to meet EM/IR sign-off requirements

Perform static and dynamic IR-drop analysis and work with physical design teams to implement power grid improvements

Analyze electromigration violations and develop mitigation strategies for metal and via connections

Collaborate with physical design engineers to optimize power grid density, via stacking, and decap placement

Develop and maintain EM/IR analysis flows, scripts, and automation infrastructure

Work with foundry design rules and reliability specifications to ensure sign-off compliance

Define power intent (UPF/CPF) requirements and validate implementation against power management intent

Provide power analysis results and recommendations to design leadership and cross-functional teams

Document EM/IR methodology guidelines, best practices, and sign-off reports

WHAT YOU BRING TO THIS ROLE:

Minimum 8+ years of experience in EM/IR analysis and power integrity for complex ASICs or SoCs

Hands-on proficiency with industry-standard EM/IR tools such as Cadence Voltus, Synopsys RedHawk, or equivalent

Deep understanding of power delivery network design, power grid analysis, and IR-drop mitigation techniques

Strong knowledge of electromigration physics, EM rules, and reliability analysis methodologies

Experience with both static and dynamic power analysis including vectorless and vector-based approaches

Solid understanding of low-power design techniques and their interaction with power integrity

Proficiency in scripting (Tcl, Python) for EM/IR flow development and result automation

Familiarity with advanced process node design rules and foundry reliability specifications

Excellent ability to communicate complex analysis results clearly to cross-functional teams

BONUS POINTS:

Experience with 7nm or sub-7nm EM/IR sign-off requirements

Exposure to thermal analysis and electro-thermal co-simulation

Familiarity with package-level power integrity and chip-package co-design

Experience with advanced power management architectures (DVFS, multiple voltage domains, retention)

Background in satellite communication, 5G, or high-reliability IoT chip design

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office.  The target base pay for this position is $120,000 - $220,000 annually.  The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. 
 
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used-so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that's your experience - then we'll be immediately wow-ed.
 
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.

Why E-Space is right for you:

As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success.  Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals.  In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.  

We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That's why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:

An opportunity to really make a difference
Sustainability at our core
Fair and honest workplace
Innovative thinking is encouraged
Competitive salaries
Continuous learning and development
Health and wellness care options
Financial solutions for the future
Optional legal services (US only)
Paid holidays
Paid time off

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
