POSITION SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION

The Senior Quant role is the senior-most individual contributor responsible for the mathematical and computational integrity of the trade floor’s grid and congestion models. The Senior Quant owns the most complex modeling problems linking physical grid behavior, ISO dispatch logic, congestion-driven price formation, and FTR/ARR auction modeling mechanisms, ensuring these models are quantified, scalable, and applicable for decision support.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Advanced Power Systems & Market Modeling

• Design, implement, and validate DC/AC power flow and contingency models that reflect real ISO dispatch, contingency logic, and constraint management practices; real-world experience in PJM or ERCOT is a plus.
• Build and maintain high-fidelity representations of flowgates, interface constraints, thermal and voltage limits impacting DA/RT markets and FTR/CRR/ARR outcomes.
• Develop analytical frameworks that connect: (1) grid topology and outages; (2) security-constraint economic dispatch/unit commitment; (3) binding constraints and shadow prices; (4) DA/RT price separation and FTR/CRR/ARR outcomes.
• Serve as technical authority on ARR/FTR/CRR auction modeling assumptions, sensitivities, and failure modes.

Simulation, Back-Testing & Model Risk

• Architect and maintain market simulation engines that replicate ISO clearing logic under numerous topology, load, generation, and outage scenarios.
• Perform rigorous back-testing against historical DA/RT outcomes, identifying where models break, why, and how to correct the model or bias decisions.
• Quantify model risk and uncertainty: sensitivity to topology errors or forced outages, limiting assumptions, forecast noise, and rule interpretations.
• Design stress scenarios for extreme congestion, renewable saturation, transmission expansion/degradation, policy or tariff changes.

Data, Algorithms & Implementation

• Own the transformation of ISO and other internal data feeds into model-ready representations.
• Write production-quality analytical code that scales across years of historical data, supports scenario analysis, and integrates cleanly into current trading systems.
• Define modeling standards, numerical methods, and validation tests with documentation so that results are explainable and defensible.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree (Master’s or PhD preferred) in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Applied Math, Physics, Computer Science, or related field.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in ISO/RTO market modeling, congestion analytics, or power systems analysis.
• Deep, practical understanding of DC/AC power flow and contingency analysis, ISO/RTO market mechanics, nodal pricing, congestion, and FTR/CRR/ARR mechanics.
• Proficiency with industry tools (e.g., PSS/E, PowerWorld, Dayzer, Enelytix/TARA, Enverus Mosaic/Panorama, YES Energy or similar) and strong programming skills (Python, SQL, etc.).
• Exceptional programming and numerical modeling skills; strong ownership mindset and ability to work independently.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Operational experience in ERCOT and/or PJM markets.
• Experience collaborating with congestion trade desks.

JOB OVERVIEW

Employees in this role perform complex studies and forecast power prices for a period of 30 years. This position works closely with internal and external technical and engineering teams to develop forecasts to support existing and new projects and/or technologies.

JOB DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Establishes and maintains working relationships with internal and external contacts in support of the development of data describing the key market factors.
• Formulates inputs to electric sector modeling tools and assists in modeling efforts.
• Maintains electric sector models and proprietary tools with up-to-date market intelligence.
• Performs market simulations and develops long-term power market forecasts in support of development, Mergers and Acquisitions, and management of existing assets.
• Develops proprietary modeling tools and methodologies to analyze evolving markets and the impact on company businesses.
• Analyzes market, historical, and fundamental data to draw inferences and present results in a clear and understandable format to management and external customers.
• Provides training to junior modeling staff.
• Performs other job-related duties as assigned.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s Degree
• Experience: 4+ years

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
