Remote Power Systems Engineer Jobs in Buford, GA

Position Overview
We are seeking a highly accomplished, technical Principal Power Systems Engineer with a minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in complex industrial power systems and/or utility-scale renewable generation infrastructure. This is a fully remote role designed for an independent, elite technical authority who can drive high-level engineering decisions from anywhere in the country, with minimal travel (approximately 10%) reserved only for critical project milestones.
In this role, you will serve as the final technical authority and engineer in responsible charge for comprehensive power systems analysis, protective relaying design, and infrastructure specification. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise in low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) switchgear configurations, advanced power system modeling, and complex overcurrent and differential protective coordination schemes.
Pay: $140,000 - $ 165,000
The pay listed is the salary range for this position. Any specific offer will vary based on the successful applicant’s education, experience, skills, abilities, geographic location, and alignment with market data.
Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from an ABET-accredited institution. A Master’s degree with a power systems focus is a plus.
• Experience: 10+ years of direct, hands-on experience performing power systems engineering for heavy industrial facilities or utility-scale renewable energy installations.
• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license in good standing. Ability to secure multi-state licensure via NCEES comity is highly preferred.
• Software Proficiency: Power user capabilities in SKM Power*Tools and/or ETAP. Proficiency with AutoCAD for remote collaboration, review, and development of single-lines, three-lines, and physical layouts.
• Technical Mastery:
  • Deep understanding of MV/LV switchgear, circuit breaker ratings, bus bar designs, and instrument transformer scaling (CT/PT metrics).
  • Comprehensive grasp of selective coordination principles, time-current curves (TCCs), cable damage curves, and transformer damage curves.
  • Familiarity with utility interconnection handbooks and industrial codes (NEC/NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, IEEE Color Books series, NESC).
• Remote Work Capabilities: Self-motivated and highly organized. Proven ability to work independently, manage deliverables across multiple time zones, and maintain strong communication using digital collaboration tools (Teams, Slack, etc.).

Key Responsibilities

• Power System Modeling & Analysis: Lead and execute advanced power system studies—including short-circuit, load flow, motor starting, transient stability, and arc flash hazard evaluations—utilizing industry-standard analytical software (e.g., SKM Power*Tools, ETAP) in a remote collaborative environment.
• Protection & Coordination Design: Design, model, and calculate settings for complex selective protective coordination and equipment protection schemes. Formulate and implement settings for modern microprocessor-based relays, ensuring proper handling of ungrounded delta configurations (overvoltage detection), impedance-grounded, and solidly grounded systems.
• Equipment Specification & Engineering: Author detailed technical procurement specifications and single-line/three-line drawings for LV/MV switchgear, power transformers, motor control centers (MCCs), and utility interconnect equipment. Review and approve vendor drawings, submittals, and factory acceptance testing (FAT) protocols.
• Renewables & Industrial Integration: Lead electrical engineering design strategies for integrating utility-scale renewables (Solar PV, BESS, microgrids) or major industrial infrastructure. Navigate interconnect requirements, utility regulations, and multi-breaker protection challenges (e.g., complex lockout/86 relay topology).
• Technical Authority & Mentorship: Act as the primary corporate engineering authority during project inception, feasibility studies, and detailed design phases. Provide remote mentorship to mid-level and junior electrical engineers, refining engineering standards and design templates across the department.
• Focused Site Support (Up to 10% Travel): Travel occasionally to participate in critical face-to-face milestones, such as major equipment Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), critical site commissioning, or essential physical field validations.
