Full‑time employees are eligible to earn PTO hours. May be eligible for discretionary bonus as determined by the company.

Minimum Requirements:

• 5–10+ years of experience in power generation engineering focused on excitation systems, including design, programming, commissioning, and start‑up activities.
• Hands‑on experience with excitation system platforms such as Emerson, GE EX2100e, ABB, Siemens, Basler Electric, or comparable systems.
