encoord is looking for a full-time Senior Transmission Planning Engineer to join its office in Edgewater (Denver), Colorado.

encoord is a small and growing software company that helps energy stakeholders plan for the future. encoord’s core solution is the Scenario Analysis Interface for Energy Systems (SAInt), an integrated modeling platform that enables coordination across planning domains. SAInt enables the integration of economic and reliability planning across electric generation, transmission, and distribution.

With offices in the United States and Germany, our team of twenty employees serves electric and gas utilities, system and market operators, and asset developers worldwide.

Utility planners and engineers can integrate planning across electric generation, transmission, and distribution domains by seamlessly transitioning between balanced and unbalanced AC power flow simulations and production cost optimizations. With SAInt, developers quantify the value and risks of new projects by running capacity expansion and production cost optimizations. In the same modeling platform, with the same model, they can also assess infrastructure impacts through physical simulations.

SAInt’s flexible and intuitive interface fosters collaboration between engineers, aligning different planning objectives, and transforming energy planning.

As a Senior Transmission Planning Engineer, you will be part of encoord’s Product Team, focused on developing integrated planning workflows and software solutions that intersect with traditional transmission planning practices. This role is ideal for someone with hands-on experience conducting transmission planning studies who is also motivated to rethink conventional approaches and contribute to innovative, next-generation solutions for grid planning.

In addition to product development responsibilities, you will contribute to a limited number of client-facing transmission planning projects. These engagements will help inform product direction and ensure that SAInt reflects real-world planning requirements.

You will work closely with the Software Development and Customer Success Teams to support the design, development, and application of SAInt’s transmission planning capabilities, ensuring the platform aligns with utility practices, regulatory standards, and emerging grid challenges.

You will have the opportunity to work with a culturally-diverse and multi-disciplinary team and be part of a growing company whose mission is to enable the energy transition and help utilities plan for the future.
