The role will be responsible for defining the end-to-end architecture, system integration strategy, and technology roadmap to support a modern, scalable, and resilient transmission grid operations platform. The architect will work closely with grid operations stakeholders, IT teams, vendors, and implementation partners to ensure the successful delivery of a reliable and secure EMS ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

• Architecture & Solution Design
  • Define the target architecture for the new EMS platform leveraging AspenTech EMS capabilities.
  • Lead the technical migration strategy from Hitachi EMS, including system coexistence, phased cutover, and data transition approaches.
  • Design high availability, disaster recovery, and redundancy architectures aligned with utility operational requirements.
  • Establish integration architecture between EMS and adjacent systems such as:
  • SCADA
  • ICCP/TASE.2 external control center interfaces
  • Market systems
  • Outage Management Systems (OMS)
  • Distribution Management Systems (DMS)
  • Data historians and analytics platforms.
• System Integration & Data Architecture
  • Define architecture for real-time data ingestion and telemetry processing.
  • Design data flows between substations, control centers, and enterprise systems.
  • Ensure integration with industry protocols such as:
  • ICCP / TASE.2
  • DNP3
  • IEC 61850
  • CIM (Common Information Model).
• Platform Modernization
  • Guide modernization of control center infrastructure, including virtualization, hybrid cloud considerations, and containerized services where applicable.
  • Define architecture standards for cybersecurity, identity management, and network segmentation aligned with North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) CIP requirements.
• Technical Leadership
  • Act as the primary architecture authority across design, build, testing, and deployment phases.
  • Provide technical leadership to engineering teams, vendors, and implementation partners.
  • Review solution designs, interface specifications, and technical documentation.
  • Support system factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and cutover planning.
• Stakeholder Collaboration
  • Work with Transmission Operations, Grid Reliability, and Market Operations teams to ensure operational requirements are reflected in the architecture.
  • Coordinate with vendor architects from AspenTech and Hitachi during transition phases.
  • Communicate architecture decisions to executive stakeholders and program leadership.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 12+ years of experience in utility IT/OT systems architecture.
• Hands-on experience with EMS platforms, preferably AspenTech EMS or other major vendors.
• Experience with control center technologies, SCADA systems, and real-time grid operations.
• Strong knowledge of utility integration standards (ICCP, IEC 61850, CIM, DNP3).
• Experience delivering large-scale EMS / SCADA implementations or migrations.

• Experience working with Transmission System Operators (TSO) or Independent System Operators (ISO).
• Prior involvement in EMS vendor migration programs.
• Familiarity with grid analytics, contingency analysis, and state estimation functions.
• Knowledge of cloud-enabled OT architectures and modern data platforms.
• Certifications such as TOGAF, PMP, or cloud architecture certifications.

• Strategic architecture thinking
• Utility grid operations knowledge
• Vendor coordination and technical governance
• Large-scale system migration leadership
• Risk management and operational resilience
