Power Systems Engineer - AI Research (Canada)

What You'll Do6

• Write expert-level power engineering problems and scenarios that come from real design, analysis, testing, commissioning, operations, and field work.
• Create prompts for AI models that reflect your power systems specialty.
• Check AI-generated answers for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, safety, and alignment with industry standards and engineering practice.
• Review calculations, assumptions, methods, and recommendations tied to power flow, short-circuit analysis, protection, grid stability, equipment selection, and related topics.
• Send structured written feedback that helps AI models improve.
• Set your own hours and work in a remote, async setting with no required minimum.

Requirements7

• Live in Canada.
• Bring at least 2 years of hands-on power systems engineering experience in industry.
• Hold an MS or PhD in electrical engineering, power engineering, or a related field. A BS in electrical engineering also qualifies with strong industry experience.
• Show depth in one or more areas: transmission or distribution systems; microgrids and distributed energy resources; high-voltage equipment and substations; protection, control, and relay coordination; power-flow, short-circuit, stability, or contingency analysis; grid integration of renewable energy and battery storage; power quality, grounding, or arc-flash analysis; utility operations, commissioning, or field engineering.
• Write with care and precision about complex power engineering concepts.
• Work on your own in a remote, async environment.
• Show strong writing and attention to detail.

Who Should Apply

Practicing power engineers with 2 or more years in transmission, distribution, microgrids, high-voltage substations, protection and control, or grid operations will fit this fellowship well. The strongest applicants hold an MS or PhD, or a BS paired with deep industry work, and can explain relay coordination, short-circuit studies, or arc-flash analysis in plain language. A PE license, work with IEEE, IEC, NERC, or NFPA standards, and tool experience in ETAP, PSS/E, PSCAD, or Python add weight. This fellowship fits people who want flexible, project-based side work rather than a full-time engineering post. Candidates outside Canada cannot proceed, and those who need a fixed schedule or guaranteed hours should look elsewhere. Candidates often score low when they list academic power systems coursework without hands-on industry projects, or when their writing samples stay vague about calculations, assumptions, and standards.
