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 Process Engineer Job Search
Show async documentation skills upfront
Remote r&d process engineer roles depend on written clarity. Include examples of process protocols, experimental summaries, or change control documentation you've authored, since distributed teams judge your ability to communicate technical decisions without real-time back-and-forth.
Highlight remote-compatible process engineering tools
Call out PLM platforms, DOE software, statistical analysis tools like JMP or Minitab, and cloud-based lab data systems you've used. Remote hiring managers need confidence you can contribute to their tech stack from day one without on-site onboarding.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote r&d process engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly. Remote postings at distributed firms often close fast, so checking regularly and applying as soon as a good fit appears improves your chances.
Prepare for async technical screens
Many distributed engineering teams use take-home process improvement case studies or asynchronous video interviews before any live call. Practice walking through a process gap, your analytical approach, and your proposed solution in writing or recorded format, since remote employers weight independent reasoning heavily.
Remote R&D Process Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote r&d process engineer job?
Target companies with established distributed engineering teams, particularly remote-first biotech, chemical, medical device, and consumer goods firms that have built async workflows into their R&D process. Remote employers screen hard for self-direction, clear written communication, and the ability to run experiments and document findings without daily in-person oversight. Proficiency with PLM software, DOE methods, and collaborative documentation tools like Confluence or Notion gives candidates a clear edge in remote hiring.
Which companies hire remote r&d process engineers?
Remote r&d process engineer roles are posted by True Zero Technologies, TE Connectivity, and Amgen and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These include remote-first consumer goods companies, distributed biotech and medical device firms, and specialty materials businesses that run R&D functions across multiple time zones without requiring engineers to be on-site.
Can you get a remote r&d process engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level r&d process engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to troubleshoot independently and communicate findings clearly without in-person mentorship. Entry paths that work include remote co-ops or internships at distributed companies, open-source or academic process improvement projects you can share, and demonstrated fluency with lab data analysis tools and DOE software that remote teams rely on daily.
Do you need a degree for remote r&d process engineer jobs?
Usually, but the degree requirement is flexible for candidates who can show hands-on process engineering results. Most remote employers expect at least a bachelor's in chemical, mechanical, or materials engineering, but distributed teams increasingly weigh portfolio work, documented process improvement outcomes, and proficiency with CAD, statistical analysis tools, or specific industry software alongside or instead of formal credentials.
Which industries hire the most remote r&d process engineers?
Most remote r&d process 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 process engineers remotely because their product development cycles rely on data analysis, documentation, and cross-functional coordination that distributed teams can run effectively without requiring engineers to be physically present in a lab every day.
