Simulation Intern

Job Summary:

We are looking for a motivated engineering intern to assist in developing and testing power system models for real-time simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing. The intern will contribute towards creating dynamic models of electrical networks, integrating protection and control schemes, and performing Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing. This role provides hands-on experience with advanced simulation tools and real-time testing methodologies used in modern power systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Learn basic usage of the RTDS Simulator.


• Assist in creating a real-time power system models and controls in the RTDS.


• Support the integration of either simulated or physical protection and control systems


• Participate in executing test scenarios to validate control strategies and system behavior.


• Document test cases and prepare example simulations for demonstration purposes.


• Other duties as may be assigned. 

Qualifications 

• Completed at least two years of study in Electrical engineering


• Basic understanding of electrical circuits is required.


• Completed coursework in power systems, electrical machines, or control systems is an asset.  


• Experience with programs such as PSCAD, RSCAD, and/or Simulink preferred.


• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.


• Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn.
