Full job description

Description

As MISO’s Senior Advisor, Systems Engineering, you will serve as the technical advisor for MISO’s Energy Market Management product. This role combines deep energy-market domain knowledge with systems-engineering discipline to ensure complex product capabilities are clearly defined, feasible, traceable, verifiable, and aligned with regulatory obligations, business outcomes, customer needs, and MISO requirements.

The Senior Advisor leads ambiguous, high-consequence engineering work; establishes direction across multidisciplinary teams; and provides independent technical judgment on product context, requirements, functional and logical design, interfaces, dependencies, engineering decisions, technical risks, verification evidence, and readiness. The role influences solution architecture and delivery through clear product intent, objective evidence, and trusted domain expertise.

Some of the impactful contributions you’ll make as MISO’s Senior Advisor Systems Engineering include:

  • Lead product context and analysis for complex Energy Market Management capabilities, including operational scenarios, scope, boundaries, current-state baselines, assumptions, constraints, dependencies, and affected capabilities.

  • Translate business objectives, customer needs, regulatory obligations, operational outcomes, and enterprise constraints into clear, feasible, verifiable, and traceable product requirements.

  • Lead product requirement decomposition and allocation while preserving upstream intent, rationale, acceptance expectations, and alignment across related products, applications, processes, and external interfaces.

  • Lead technology-independent product functional and logical design, defining expected behavior, functions, interactions, information flows, boundaries, responsibility allocation, alternate paths, and failure conditions.

  • Establish and maintain end-to-end traceability across requirements, functional and logical models, solution design, implementation, tests, defects, decisions, risks, and verification evidence.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define product interfaces, information needs, dependencies, integration expectations, and quality attributes.

  • Lead product-level trade studies, technical-risk and failure-mode analyses, and change-impact assessments; frame alternatives, criteria, evidence, assumptions, consequences, and recommendations for accountable decision-makers.

  • Define product verification and validation strategy, methods, coverage and evidence expectations, acceptance criteria, and readiness inputs; assess objective evidence, unresolved gaps, and residual technical risk.

  • Provide trusted technical recommendations to leaders and cross-functional stakeholders; mentor engineers; resolve complex ambiguity; and advance Systems Engineering methods, standards, tools, reusable assets, training, and adoption.

You’ll need the following skills to be successful as our Senior Advisor Systems Engineering :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

  • At least 8 years of relevant engineering experience applying systems-engineering practices across product or system lifecycle activities such as context definition, requirements, design, integration, verification, validation, operations, and change management.

  • Significant experience in systems engineering, product engineering, technical leadership, or a related engineering discipline within complex, regulated, or operationally critical environments.

  • Strong understanding of organized energy markets, including the business, operational, regulatory, data, and technology considerations that support market operations.

  • Experience leading requirements development, decomposition, allocation, traceability, functional analysis, interface management, and change-impact assessments.

  • Proven ability to evaluate technical risks, lead trade-off analyses, and make sound, evidence-based engineering decisions.

  • Experience developing verification and validation strategies, assessing readiness, and evaluating objective evidence to support product quality and delivery.

  • Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical challenges, influence stakeholders across disciplines, communicate effectively with technical and business audiences, and guide teams through ambiguity while fostering collaboration and continuous improvement.

Appropriate level will be determined based upon experience and knowledge.
