Infrastructure Transition Specialist

Under the direction of the Supervisor of the Infrastructure Transition Unit, the Electric Generation System Specialist I (EGSS I) serves as part of interdisciplinary and interdivisional teams to plan and implement the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) programs. The EGSS I performs complex engineering, statistical, and economic analyses of advanced and emerging energy systems and technologies including energy storage technologies and their safety, performance, and integration with the energy system. The EGSS I performs independent, varied, and complex technical and analytical work focused on technologies and strategies for transitioning energy infrastructure; advancing energy storage and other emerging energy technologies; improving system safety, integrity, and reliability; decarbonizing the energy system; and advancing technologies and strategies that provide grid, ratepayer, and other public benefits. This work supports the development and implementation of the state’s energy policies and objectives, including decarbonization, electrification, energy affordability, safety, reliability, and equity. The EGSS I may serve as a project lead for other technical and analytical staff.
