As part of RTE International's Digital & Engineering Business Line, you will contribute to the deployment and innovation of digital substations and centralized protection architectures. Your role involves: - Actively participate in IEC 61850-based digital substation projects (specification, configuration, and architecture). - Contribute to R&D initiatives on virtualized protection schemes, in close coordination with Transmission System Operators (TSOs). - Support technical feasibility assessments for innovative substations (e.g., HV-connected batteries, centralized protection, virtualization). - Provide high-value engineering input to ongoing international projects. Required Profile Education: - Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering (mandatory). Professional Experience: - Minimum 3 years of experience in substation design and protection systems. - Proven experience with: o IEC 61850 engineering (System Configuration, SCL files: SSD, SCD, ICD, etc.). o Virtual or centralized protection schemes. o Substation automation architecture and digital engineering tools. - Prior experience in a Transmission System Operator (TSO) or equivalent grid operator (mandatory). - Exposure to integration of new grid technologies (e.g., grid-connected batteries, DER). Languages: - Fluency in English (mandatory). - French or other European language is a plus. ________________________________________ Expected Skills and Competencies - Strong technical knowledge in digital substation architectures, protection studies, and IEC 61850. - Experience coordinating multi-disciplinary engineering teams. - Capacity to challenge traditional design assumptions and propose innovative alternatives. - Autonomous and solution-oriented mindset.
