Power Systems and Control Engineer

eRoots is a Barcelona-based company on a mission to transform how power systems are planned, simulated, and operated. Our open-core software solutions, VeraGrid for power system analysis, and GSLV for high-performance computing, equip utilities, TSOs, DSOs, and developers with cutting-edge tools to tackle the challenges of renewable integration, HVDC, and modern grid stability.

By combining advanced algorithms with intuitive interfaces, we help engineers and operators move faster from data to decisions, ensuring more reliable, efficient, and sustainable grids.

After growing steadily through international projects and EU-funded innovation programmes, we are scaling our team and partnerships to bring our solutions to more markets worldwide.

       - Develop and validate dynamic models of converters, renewable plants, and control systems.

       - Run RMS and EMT simulations to evaluate system stability under faults, disturbances, and grid code scenarios.

       - Design and tune control strategies (PLL, droop, current control, FRT, etc.) to ensure compliance with international requirements.

       - Analyse results and propose improvements to enhance grid stability and reliability.

       - Collaborate with internal software teams to integrate new models and simulation features into VeraGrid and GSLV.

       - Contribute to R&D and international projects, working closely with TSOs, DSOs, and industrial partners.

🔎 Must-have:

        - Education and background: Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or related field.

       - Technical expertise: Solid knowledge of power system dynamics, RMS and EMT simulations, and converter/control modelling.

       - Software skills: Experience with tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD, or DIgSILENT PowerFactory.

        - Control systems: Understanding of dynamic control loops (e.g. PLLs, current controllers, droop control).

        - Analytical mindset: Ability to design, test, and tune control strategies to meet TSO/DSO grid code requirements.

        - Team spirit: Proactive, collaborative, and motivated to work in a fast-paced startup environment.

        - Language skills: Solid level of English.
