This is a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment where you'll take ownership of projects and client relationships early in your career.

Lead projects end-to-end — from scoping and design through execution and delivery, taking ownership of project direction and client outcomes
Design experiments for new technologies in both the laboratory and field
Solve systems integration challenges with utilities, manufacturers, and other research organizations
Apply the latest techniques in data analytics, machine learning, and advanced visualization to communicate results to a wide range of audiences
Engage directly with EPRI members — support business development efforts and build lasting client relationships
Present research findings to members and the broader scientific and engineering community through meetings, conferences, and publications
Periodic travel to member locations, meetings, and conferences for research and technology transfer
What We're Looking For:
Project leadership — ability to lead projects in new and unfamiliar spaces, think critically about what comes next, and get up to speed quickly
Technical background in power systems, power electronics, or emerging energy technologies
Versatility and adaptability — comfort working across a wide range of technical domains
Strong communication skills and a client-service mindset
Interest or aptitude in business development and client engagement
Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, R, MATLAB, etc.) for data analytics, automation, or simulation
Consulting-type experience (designing studies, managing client deliverables) is a plus
Education & Experience:
Bachelor's degree in a technical field with 4-6 years of relevant professional experience
Master's degree in a technical field with 2-5 years of relevant professional experience
PhD in a technical field with 0-3 years of relevant professional experience
Final level and compensation will be determined based on education and experience
Location:
Position open to candidates based in the US or Canada; preferred placement in an EPRI office (relocation benefits available)
Remote work considered for the right candidate
Why EPRI Applications?
Take on senior-level project responsibility early in your career
High autonomy in determining project direction and strategy
Collegial, supportive team environment focused on growth and mentorship
Exposure to a broad range of cutting-edge energy technologies and utility challenges
