Dynamic Systems Engineer for Power Generation Simulation

3 days ago

Menlo Park, California, United States Mainspring Energy, Inc. Full time

We are revolutionizing power generation with the world's most flexible and adaptable onsite power generator, the Mainspring Linear Generator. Our goal is to quickly and reliably deliver local power for EV charging, commercial facilities, data centers, and grid-scale operations.

Mainspring Energy designs, manufactures, and delivers its products to customers across the U.S., scaling for international expansion. We welcome a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and talents to bring fresh perspectives and ongoing innovation to our customers.

Our vision of an affordable, reliable, net-zero carbon grid drives us to build relationships with people who share our values:

  • Pragmatic Optimism: Building a new category of world-class power generation requires optimism, creativity, and practicality to solve problems efficiently.
  • Excellence without Ego: We strive for excellence in creating the best customer experience, from sales to deployment and service, with humility to acknowledge challenges as individual contributors.
  • Proactive Collaboration: Our culture of inclusion and respect extends beyond our team to interactions with partners and customers.

We are looking for a Control Systems Modeling and Simulation Engineer to join our team. As a key member of our controls engineering team, you will design and implement simulation models that replicate both normal operations and potential hardware failures. You will work closely with the team to validate control algorithms, providing a virtual testbed where software can be rigorously regression tested on a simulation of every field unit before deployment.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will:

  • Develop and maintain simulation models that replicate the behavior of Linear Generators, including normal operation, site-specific load and use profiles, and potential hardware failures.
  • Track and eliminate deviations between field generator behavior and their non-real-time digital twins.
  • Create failure mode simulations to test the robustness of control software and ensure it can handle various fault conditions effectively.
  • Collaborate closely with controls engineers to integrate simulations with control algorithms, providing a virtual environment for testing and validation.
  • Analyze simulation results to identify potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities in control software, and work with the team to address them.
  • Continuously improve simulation tools and methodologies to increase the accuracy and reliability of the models, automating their use.
  • Optimize model execution appropriately to balance computation time and cost with product benefit.
  • Support the development of test cases and scenarios that stress control software under various operational conditions, including extreme edge cases.
  • Document simulation methodologies, test results, and recommendations for improving system resilience.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other team members on best practices in system simulation and fault modeling.

Salary: The estimated salary for this role is $123,000-$143,000 per year, depending on location and experience.

If you have a passion for developing simulations that rigorously test control software, especially in adverse hardware scenarios, we invite you to take on this pivotal role.
