Probabilistic Risk and Reliability R&D Scientist

ISO New England is the not-for-profit, independent system operator responsible for ensuring the safe and reliable flow of electricity in our region and planning for the future of the electric grid. We are at the forefront of New England’s ongoing transition to clean energy.

The clean energy transition will fundamentally change the way we operate our power grid today. Due to uncertainties and faster changes in generating and consuming electric power, the current deterministic way of planning and operating our grid with hard reliability criteria will eventually prove not to be economical or even feasible. A new risk-based, probabilistic planning and operation methodology will need to be developed and adopted to achieve a healthy balance. This position will take on this exciting, forward-looking task to help ISO New England and the industry transition to a new planning and operating paradigm.

This role will be an integral part of the Emerging Technologies team within the Advanced Technology Solutions department. This dynamic group consists of highly intellectual, high-performance R&D engineers, each recognized as an industry subject matter expert in their fields. Internally and externally, the group is known as the "Think Tank" and "Innovation Engine", dedicated to solving real-world problems through innovation.
