Role Summary
Own the design and in-house development of the real-time control software that runs on the Microgrid Controller (MGC). This role sits at the intersection of power-electronics control theory and deterministic embedded software, building the droop / grid-forming / grid-following, dispatch, mode-transition, and protection logic that coordinates PCS, BESS, PV, and genset assets. You will bring hands-on knowledge of industry-grade controllers and translate control laws into safe, bounded, real-time code verified on HIL.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop the MGC real-time control application on a deterministic RTOS/RT-Linux target — droop/VSG, PLL, GFM/GFL reference generation, P/Q dispatch, and bumpless mode transitions within 1 ms loops
- Implement secondary control (P-f and Q-V droop, virtual inertia, SOC-aware allocation, ramp-rate limiting, black-start sequencing, resynchronization) at the 1–100 ms layer
- Build protection coordination logic (50/51, 27/59, 81/81R, anti-islanding, interlock state machine, GOOSE fast trip/block) with hardware trip paths executing in 20 µs
- Design and tune power-electronics control loops interfacing to PCS/BESS unit controllers; validate stability, ride-through (LVRT/HVRT), and grid-fault behavior
- Configure and program industry controllers
- Implement deterministic comms and middleware — IEC 61850 GOOSE/MMS/SV, Modbus TCP, DNP3, PTP (IEEE 1588), lock-free IPC (DDS / shared-memory SPSC queues), with no dynamic allocation on the RT path
- Verify all functions on HIL (Typhoon HIL, OPAL-RT, RTDS, dSPACE) for grid-tied, islanded, black-start, failover, and fault-injection scenarios
- Support certification and release evidence — UL 1741 SB, IEEE 1547, IEC 61850 conformance, IEC 62443 / NERC CIP — with clear design and test documentation
Minimum Qualifications:
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Controls, or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience)
- Strong grasp of power-electronics control — inverter current/voltage loops, PLL, droop, grid-forming/grid-following, and inverter-based-resource dynamics
- Hands-on real-time embedded software in C/C++ on RTOS (FreeRTOS/SafeRTOS/ThreadX) or PREEMPT_RT Linux, with bounded WCET, ISR, and deterministic scheduling discipline
- Practical experience with industry controllers / IEDs
- Working knowledge of power-system protocols: IEC 61850 (GOOSE/MMS), Modbus, DNP3, and PTP time synchronization
- Experience with model-based design and HIL (MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, Typhoon HIL / OPAL-RT / RTDS) and test automation in Python
- Ability to read SLDs, I/O lists, protection settings, control narratives, and register maps; clear technical writing for specs, test plans, and release evidence
Pay Range: USD $140,000.00 - USD $180,000.00 /Yr.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Microgrid / BESS plant controller, PPC, or grid-forming inverter control development
- Familiarity with Azure DevOps, Git mono-repo workflows, CI/CD, and formal change control / release gates

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship in Business Development Representative
Frame your BDR duties as consultative
TN visa classification for BDR roles hinges on the Management Consultant category. Document how your work involves diagnosing client needs, recommending strategies, and advising on market entry, not just executing sales calls or hitting quotas.
Target employers experienced with visa sponsorship
Focus your search on companies with recent visa filings and experience sponsoring work visas. Larger enterprise software, SaaS, and professional services firms are more likely to have HR teams familiar with visa sponsorship and willing to provide the employer support letter required for your TN application at the port of entry or consulate.
Get your offer letter language right
The TN petition lives or dies on the job offer letter. Ask your employer to specify that the role requires a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field, and describe duties in consultative terms that align with USCIS's Management Consultant definition.
Use Migrate Mate to find sponsoring employers fast
Searching for BDR roles that include TN sponsorship takes time without the right filter. Migrate Mate surfaces employers actively open to TN candidates in business development, so you skip the back-and-forth with companies that won't sponsor.
Prepare your credential documentation before interviews
Canadian professionals entering at the border need their degree, transcripts, and the employer's offer letter ready on the day of crossing. Missing or ambiguous documents are the most common reason CBP officers defer or deny TN admission.
Understand how Mexican citizens handle the consular step
If you're Mexican, your TN application goes through a U.S. consulate, not the border. Schedule your consular appointment early and confirm your employer's willingness to provide a support letter before you accept the offer, since consular timelines vary by post.
Business Development Representative TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Business Development Representative role qualify for a TN visa?
It can, but the classification depends on how your duties are defined. BDR roles qualify under the Management Consultant category when the work involves advising clients, analyzing market conditions, and recommending business strategies. Roles framed purely around outbound calls or pipeline activity are harder to support under TN. Your offer letter needs to reflect the consultative nature of the work.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Business Development Representative jobs?
TN is significantly more practical for this role. H-1B visa requires entering a lottery with roughly a 25% selection rate, and you can wait years before getting a slot. TN has no lottery, no annual cap for Canadian citizens, and Canadians can be approved at the border the same day they apply. Mexican citizens use consular processing, which takes longer but still avoids the lottery entirely.
How do I find Business Development Representative jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Most job postings don't explicitly advertise TN sponsorship, so filtering by visa type manually is slow. Migrate Mate is built specifically to surface employers open to TN candidates in roles like Business Development Representative, letting you target your search without wasting time on companies that won't sponsor your status.
Can I switch BDR employers while on a TN visa?
Yes, but you need a new TN authorization before you start with the new employer. Your TN status is tied to the specific employer named in your petition. Canadians can get a new TN at a port of entry with the new employer's offer letter. Mexicans need to go back through consular processing. Working for a new employer before the new TN is approved puts you out of status.
What happens if my BDR role evolves into a people management position?
A significant shift in duties can invalidate your TN classification if the new responsibilities no longer fit the Management Consultant category. If your role expands into managing a sales team or takes on executive functions, you and your employer should reassess whether a new TN filing is needed to reflect the updated job scope. Migrate Mate can help you identify employers whose BDR tracks stay within qualifying TN categories.
