Antora Energy is electrifying heavy industry with zero-carbon heat and power. We make it possible and profitable to fully rely on renewable energy for industrial processes. Antora Energy's thermal energy storage absorbs excess solar and wind electricity and uses it to heat blocks of carbon, which then produce high-temperature thermal energy delivered as electricity or industrial process heat up to 1500°C. This technology eliminates the need to burn fossil fuels for industrial heat and power, addressing one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases.

📋 Description

• 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 • Serve as Antora's primary technical point of contact with RTO/ISO interconnection staff, transmission owners, and utilities on study scope, assumptions, and results • Navigate the distinct interconnection rules, tariffs, cluster study cycles, and procedural requirements unique to each RTO/ISO, and translate those differences into practical guidance for internal teams • Track and manage financial postings, security deposits, milestone deliverables, and agreement obligations (e.g., GIA/LGIA/ISA) across the interconnection portfolio • Develop and maintain single-line diagrams (SLDs) for proposed interconnection configurations, from early feasibility concepts through formal application submittals • Run and/or critically review stability, dynamic, load flow, and short-circuit studies to evaluate system impacts of proposed interconnections and to stress-test third-party study results • Evaluate sizing and configuration options (e.g., point of interconnection, voltage level, equipment arrangement) to identify the optimal technical and commercial path for each project • Interpret utility and RTO study results (system impact studies, facilities studies, deliverability analyses) and translate findings into clear implications for cost, schedule, and project viability • Direct and manage external engineering consultants performing interconnection studies, modeling, and SLD development, ensuring technical rigor, schedule adherence, and cost discipline • Scope consultant engagements, review deliverables for quality and completeness, and hold vendors accountable to Antora's technical standards • Partner with site selection and project development teams to assess interconnection feasibility and technical risk before sites are committed, using hosting capacity data, prior study history, and engineering judgment • Identify and flag interconnection risks (e.g., restudy exposure, network upgrade cost drivers, deliverability constraints) early enough to influence site selection, project sequencing, and commercial terms • Build and maintain repeatable frameworks, checklists, and tools to standardize how Antora screens and de-risks new interconnection opportunities across RTOs • Work closely with the transmission strategy, project development, policy, and commercial teams to align interconnection execution with broader tariff and siting strategy • Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations clearly to non-technical internal stakeholders and senior leadership

🎯 Requirements

• 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 • Experience interconnecting storage, generation, or large flexible loads, particularly co-located or hybrid configurations • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems focus) or related field

🏖️ Benefits

• equity compensation in the form of stock options • premium health benefits package with life and disability insurance • 401K plan with employer contributions • flexible spending accounts • industry leading paid-time-off policy that features flexible and inclusive holiday observance • paid volunteer time off
