Staff or Principal, Generation Interconnection & Grid Engineering

8+ years of experience in power systems engineering, interconnection studies, or transmission planning, with direct experience managing interconnection applications through one or more RTOs/ISOs.

Demonstrated experience developing single-line diagrams and running or critically reviewing load flow, short-circuit, stability, and dynamic studies.

Working knowledge of commercial power system modeling tools (e.g., PSS/E, PSLF, PowerWorld, PSCAD, ASPEN, or equivalent).

Strong understanding of FERC, NERC, and RTO/ISO interconnection processes, tariffs, and cluster study frameworks, with direct experience in at least one of MISO, SPP, or ERCOT.

Experience managing or directing external engineering consultants on technical deliverables.

Proven ability to independently evaluate interconnection configuration and sizing tradeoffs and make sound technical recommendations under ambiguity.

Antora is seeking a Staff / Principal, Interconnection & Grid Engineering to lead the technical execution of generation interconnection processes for Antora's thermal energy storage projects across multiple RTOs/ISOs (MISO, SPP, ERCOT, and others as the portfolio expands).

This is a hands-on role: the person in this seat will own interconnection applications and studies end to end, direct the consultants who perform detailed modeling work, and bring independent technical judgment to configuration, sizing, and de-risking decisions long before a project reaches a formal queue.

The ideal candidate combines deep power systems engineering fundamentals (one-line diagrams, load flow, short circuit, stability, and dynamic modeling) with practical fluency in how interconnection actually works inside each RTO/ISO — the paperwork, the study milestones, the informal norms, and the levers available to move a project faster or cheaper.

This role partners closely with Antora's transmission strategy, project development, and policy teams, and is central to translating a proposed project site into a technically sound, de-risked interconnected project.

Interconnection Process Leadership

Lead and manage the end-to-end interconnection process for Antora projects across MISO, SPP, ERCOT, and other RTOs/ISOs as needed, including application preparation, queue entry, and milestone tracking through each required study phase.
