ON.energy is setting the standard for large load interconnection. ON's patented AI UPS™ is a medium-voltage UPS that serves as a firewall, protecting the data center from the grid, and the grid from the data center. With multiple gigawatts currently under construction, we are enabling grid-safe data centers.
The Principal Power Systems Modeling Engineer is ON.energy's technical owner for power system modeling, model validation, and grid performance assessment. This role sets modeling standards, leads high-impact simulation work, and ensures models accurately represent ON.energy hardware, controls, firmware, protection settings, and plant-level operating modes.
The position supports product development, interconnection studies, grid requirements demonstrations, customer projects, and emerging large-load applications. It serves as a key technical bridge across R&D, Controls, Test, Product, Project Engineering, external consultants, customers, utilities, ISOs, and standards organizations.
Key focus areas include EMT and dynamic modeling, ERCOT Model Quality Testing, evolving large-load ride-through requirements, hardware-to-model matching, Hardware-in-the-Loop and real-time simulation, and project-specific modeling support for ON.energy deployments.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Technical Modeling Leadership
- Define modeling standards: Establish ON.energy's modeling philosophy, validation methods, governance processes, and quality expectations across EMT, RMS, transient, steady-state, HIL, and real-time simulation environments.
- Own model lifecycle management: Ensure models remain aligned with released hardware, firmware, controls algorithms, protection settings, plant controls, and project-specific configurations.
- Serve as technical authority: Provide expert judgment on model fidelity, validation evidence, simulation assumptions, and external model submissions.
Project and Product Support
- Lead technical execution: Develop, review, and approve EMT and dynamic models supporting interconnection studies, customer applications, product qualification, and grid requirements.
- Support project modeling: Partner with Project Engineering on study assumptions, equivalent models, SLD representation, equipment settings, operating conditions, and data requirements.
- Assess system performance: Evaluate ride-through behavior, weak-grid performance, harmonics, generator interations, startup behavior, control response, and large-disturbance response.
Validation, HIL, and Hardware Matching
- Ensure hardware-to-model alignment: Confirm models represent inverter behavior, BESS response, EMS functionality, firmware, protection, controls, and fielded product configurations.
- Correlate models with evidence: Compare simulations against lab tests, HIL results, commissioning data, field measurements, disturbance records, and vendor model behavior.
Grid Requirements, Consultant Oversight, and Technical Leadership
- Lead grid requirements modeling: Serve as technical lead for ISO MQT, large-load ride-through evaluations, and evolving grid requirements.
- Oversee external studies: Direct and review work performed by consultants and study partners, ensuring technical quality, traceability, and consistency with ON.energy standards.
- Influence product and engineering direction: Translate modeling insights into recommendations for controls, firmware, hardware design, validation investments, customer applications, and roadmap priorities.
- Mentor and represent: Guide engineers across modeling, controls, test, and project teams, and represent ON.energy in technical discussions with utilities, ISOs, consultants, customers, and industry groups.
EXPERIENCE AND REQUIREMENTS
- Education: Masters Degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Experience: 12+ years of advanced power systems modeling experience, including EMT, RMS, dynamic modeling, inverter-based resources, BESS, large loads, or transmission-connected facilities.
- Tools: Expertise with PSCAD, PSSE, PSLF, MATLAB/Simulink, and related simulation platforms; experience with HIL or real-time simulation platforms strongly preferred.
- Grid requirements: Strong understanding of ISO and Utility interconnection requirements, MQT, NERC reliability standards, inverter-based resource requirements, and evolving large-load expectations.
- Technical breadth: Fluency in inverter controls, protection settings, firmware behavior, EMS functions, UPS/BESS architectures, and hardware/software integration.
- Leadership: Demonstrated ability to set technical direction, influence across engineering disciplines, review complex deliverables, communicate with external stakeholders, and create scalable engineering processes.

Tips for Your Remote R&D Electrical Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote r&d electrical engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly. Remote postings often close faster than on-site ones, so moving quickly on a strong fit matters.
Build a portfolio designed for async review
Remote hiring managers evaluate your work before they meet you. Package your schematics, PCB layouts, and firmware samples in a shared repository or PDF portfolio with clear written context, so reviewers can assess your depth without a walk-through call.
Signal async communication skills in your application
Distributed r&d teams rely on written updates, documented design decisions, and clear Slack or Confluence threads. Call out specific examples in your cover letter or resume where you communicated technical progress or resolved a design issue entirely through written channels.
Target remote-first hardware and embedded teams
Defense contractors, medical device firms, and semiconductor companies with distributed engineering organizations are your most consistent source of remote r&d electrical engineer openings. Search specifically for remote-first or fully distributed team descriptions in job postings to avoid hybrid roles marketed as remote.
Remote R&D Electrical Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote r&d electrical engineer job?
Remote r&d electrical engineer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction and communicate technical progress clearly without in-person check-ins. Distributed hardware and embedded systems teams screen heavily for async written communication, comfort with version-controlled design files, and experience using collaborative tools like Confluence or Jira for documentation. Candidates who show hands-on project work, a clean GitHub presence with hardware schematics or firmware, and the ability to scope and deliver independently stand out from the pool.
Which companies hire remote r&d electrical engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote r&d electrical engineers include True Zero Technologies, TE Connectivity, and Amgen, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology companies, distributed defense contractors, and medical device firms with geographically spread engineering teams are among the most consistent sources of remote r&d electrical engineer openings.
Can you get a remote r&d electrical engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level r&d electrical engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal in-person mentorship. Companies most likely to hire remote entry candidates include startups with lean teams and remote-first culture. A strong portfolio of personal or academic hardware projects, documented firmware work, and clear written communication skills can substitute for professional experience when applying to those roles.
Do you need a degree for remote r&d electrical engineer jobs?
Usually, but a formal degree in electrical engineering or a closely related field is not always required if you can demonstrate equivalent skills through project work and results. Remote employers in this role typically look at your ability to design circuits, write firmware, and document your work clearly. Certifications, open-source hardware contributions, and a detailed project portfolio can carry significant weight alongside or instead of a traditional credential.
Which industries hire the most remote r&d electrical engineers?
Most remote r&d electrical engineer openings sit in Electronics & Hardware, Technology & Software, and Non-Profit & Social Services, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire r&d electrical engineers remotely because their engineering teams are distributed across time zones, and the design, simulation, and documentation workflows translate well to async collaboration.
