EPRI's Applications team is looking for a versatile, collaborative engineer to join our group. You will help lead EPRI's efforts to apply cutting-edge technology and subject matter expertise to client-specific challenges in grid planning and operations, distributed energy resources, electric transportation, and other end-use technologies.

Our team develops actionable insights regarding the impact and capabilities of new technologies through utility-driven demonstrations and cross-cutting projects. We collaborate with experts across EPRI to produce deliverables focused on individual member needs — executed within shorter time frames and aimed at answering nearer-term research questions. This is a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment where you'll take ownership of projects and client relationships early in your career.

What You'll Do:

• 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
