Demand Response Team Engineer II

In this role, you won't just analyze data - you'll help design and improve the processes that allow emerging energy resources to support grid reliability and market performance. Working closely with operations, settlements, and cross-functional stakeholders, you'll turn insights into action that strengthens the resilience and efficiency of the bulk power system.

This is a high-impact opportunity to influence how the grid evolves while ensuring today's markets run smoothly and effectively.

What You'll Do:

• Lead the design and administration of end-to-end processes supporting DR, DER, and LMR participation in MISO capacity and energy markets
• Perform statistical, operational, and economic analyses on market performance, pricing, participant behavior, and supply-demand dynamics
• Identify market inefficiencies, anomalies, and improvement opportunities related to flexible and distributed resource participation
• Conduct measurement and verification of DR, DER, and LMR performance, including compliance with testing requirements
• Evaluate resource capabilities for accreditation, market offers, participation data, and response performance during grid events
• Support and engage with stakeholders in the development of new market design initiatives and participation models as the industry evolves
• Perform post-event and post-implementation assessments of new products, rule changes, and operational events
• Communicate analysis, insights, and recommendations to internal teams and stakeholders to build alignment and drive key initiatives forward

Why This Role Matters:

As the grid transforms, flexible and distributed resources are becoming essential to maintaining reliability and affordability. Your work will directly support the integration of these resources into wholesale markets - ensuring they perform when needed and deliver real value to the system.

If you're motivated by complex problem-solving, data-driven decision-making, and the opportunity to shape the future of energy, this role offers both challenge and purpose.
