About DESRI DESRI (formerly D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments) is a market-leading owner and operator of renewable energy projects throughout the United States. We have acquired or developed approximately 11.9 gigawatts of contracted capacity across a portfolio of over 80 renewable energy projects in 24 states. DESRI is run by a dynamic team with offices located at New York, Denver, and Hyderabad (India). We are looking for a resourceful candidate to join the India office of DESRI, i.e., DESRI India Private Limited, based in Hyderabad, India. About the role We are looking for a resourceful candidate to join DESRI based at the firm’s office in Hyderabad, India and will regularly interact with U.S. and Hyderabad-based teams, as well as external parties. What you'll do Build and validate network models and perform analytical studies for utilityscale solar, wind, and storage projects: steady-state (power flow, reactive power/load flow), short-circuit/arc-flash, dynamic/transient stability, preliminary harmonics, and ampacity/thermal assessments. Support interconnection requests and study processes by preparing inputs, reviewing study results from ISOs/RTOs and Engineers of Record (EOR), and crafting clear, decision-ready summaries. Establish and maintain study templates, methods, and best practices for repeatable, high-quality delivery; peer-review IFC-level electrical studies and vendor submissions. Interface with detailed-design counterparts on topics such as protection & controls, grounding, cable sizing/routing, SCADA/control schematics, and equipment specifications to ensure gridcode-compliant, constructible designs. The candidate will be working closely with development team, project management and external consultants; contribute to schedules, risk registers, and technical exhibits for financing and permitting. Qualifications B.Tech in Electrical Engineering with 1-4 years, or M.Tech in Power Systems/Renewables with 1-2 years of relevant experience in utilityscale power projects. Proficiency with power-system analysis tools (e.g., PSS®E/PSLF, PSCAD), short-circuit/arc-flash and protection tools (e.g., ETAP/SKM), grounding analysis (e.g., WinIGS/CDEGS), and cable ampacity tools (e.g., CYMCAP). Familiarity with U.S. codes/standards (e.g., NEC 70) and utility/ISO study conventions; strong written communication for bottom-line, executive-ready reporting. Training/coursework in protective relaying, symmetrical components, transmission-line theory, power-system transients, dynamic stability, and electromagnetics. Experience reviewing EOR studies, contributing to interconnection applications, and coordinating across multiple technical disciplines and external stakeholders. Candidate with knowledge of substation, HV transmission line design and calculations will be preferred. Locations: Hybrid (Hyderabad, Telangana, IN)
