Why This Role Matters You will help TotalEnergies build a scalable, transmission‑focused analytics capability that directly informs major investment decisions, renewable deployment strategy, market positioning, and long‑term planning. Your work will become core to how the company understands grid behavior—now and decades into the future.
Turn Grid Complexity Into the Future of Clean Energy TotalEnergies is building a world‑class grid analytics capability to support its expanding multi‑energy ambitions across the U.S. and globally. We’re seeking a
Grid Analytics Researcher who thrives at the intersection of
power systems engineering, data science, transmission modeling, and electricity market analysis . If you’re passionate about understanding how the grid works—and how it’s rapidly evolving—this role puts you at the center of that transformation. You will develop models, build datasets, and turn noisy real‑world grid behavior into clear insights that shape decisions around nodal pricing, congestion, asset value, market forecasting, and long‑term grid evolution.
What You’ll Do Advanced Grid & Market Analytics
Build and run electric grid models to analyze transmission behavior, nodal pricing, congestion drivers, and long‑term grid dynamics.
Contribute across the entire modeling stack—including
power flow, production cost modeling (PCM), and capacity expansion modeling (CEM) .
Data Science & Applied Research
Ingest, clean, and analyze large and noisy datasets from APIs and structured markets data sources.
Apply machine learning and statistical modeling for forecasting, pattern detection, anomaly detection, and power market insights.
Validate results using engineering intuition, historical behavior, and known system constraints.
Model Development & Workflow Automation
Build curated datasets for grid topology, outages, line ratings, and operational assumptions.
Develop end‑to‑end modeling workflows as an internal “product”—from data ingestion to QA to delivering insights on congestion, basis risk, nodal price impacts, and asset value.
Translate macro‑grid trends—renewables growth, electrification, weather impacts—into quantitative metrics used by commercial and strategy teams.
Collaborate with national labs, startups, consulting partners, and internal global research teams.
Support testing and technology transfer for external tools and internal research platforms.
What You Bring Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Systems, Applied Math, Computer Science, or related field.
5+ years of experience
in transmission modeling, power system analysis, electricity markets, or similar analytical work (utility, ISO/RTO, consulting, analytics).
Hands‑on experience in major U.S. ISO/RTO nodal markets (ERCOT, PJM, CAISO).
Strong proficiency in
Python
and data science libraries.
Demonstrated experience using data analytics or ML to extract market insights from large datasets.
Preferred
Graduate degree (M.S./Ph.D.) in Power Systems or related field.
Familiarity with production cost modeling (e.g.,
PLEXOS ).
Experience linking power flow, congestion analysis, PCM, or CEM models.
Ability to convert market and grid trends into quantitative metrics (congestion, nodal pricing, load curves).
Interest in U.S. grid research and policy.
French proficiency is a plus.
