Manage deployment and updates following documented guidelines and installation manuals.
Configure and troubleshoot system interfaces with PQ data sources including COMTRADE, PQDIF, E Max, and SEL formats.
Administer server side components such as databases, web servers, and authentication systems.
Monitor system health, data quality, and identify faulty or incomplete data streams as part of regular operations.
Develop automation scripts, APIs, or tools to improve system reliability and data throughput.
Collaborate with software development teams on enhancements, bug fixes, and feature extensions through GitHub workflows.
Participate in PQ Dashboard user groups or community development efforts.
Work with engineering teams to interpret PQ data and support operational decision making.
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
3-5 years of professional experience developing software programs.
Proficiency in software development (e.g., JavaScript, C#, Python) and GitHub based development workflows.
Experience administering web applications, Linux/Windows servers, and networked systems.
Strong background in database technologies (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or similar).
Familiarity with system deployment, logging, and monitoring technologies.
Experience managing open source or enterprise applications in production environments.
Preferred Qualifications:
Knowledge of power quality, electrical disturbance data, or openXDA ecosystem.
Experience with geospatial visualization tools or map based dashboards.
Experience contributing to or supporting GPA (Grid Protection Alliance) tools.
Background in utility operations, power system monitoring, or electric grid analytics.
