The posting

🌎 The Opportunity In the next 30 years, the world will transform every part of the built environment to be climate positive green infrastructure. But today’s renewable energy development process can’t move fast enough to meet global goals. Paces exists to change that. We are providing software and services to accelerate power development and unlocking one of the greatest opportunities of our time: transforming how infrastructure gets built and ensuring it’s built with renewable energy.

🛠️ Our Solution Paces is building the development engine for renewable infrastructure and power projects. Our Agentic AI automates early-stage due diligence and combines it with in-house exWe have built Agentic AI that automates early-stage due diligence and pairs it with in-house expertise to accelerate late-stage diligence. The result: projects move from siting to construction-ready in a fraction of the time. Our platform streamlines siting, interconnection, and permitting for renewable energy and data center developers, real estate firms, EV charging companies, and more.

🧑‍🎨 Our Team We are building a team where people can proudly say their time at Paces is the most impactful, meaningful work of their career. Our amazing team in Brooklyn, New York includes incredible team members from tech companies like Meta AI, DeepMind, and Tesla; various high growth startups; as well as industry leaders from TotalEnergies, Con Edison and GE. Paces is growing rapidly and looking for exceptional people to join who want to have a massive positive climate impact while building a great culture! We are looking for a Transmission Planning Director to join our Solutions team, reporting directly to the Head of Solutions.

🏆 What You’ll Achieve Lead a team of transmission planning engineers and own the technical methodology; study assumptions, dispatch logic, contingency criteria, analytical scope. Expand the platform from transmission planning into market economics; define how congestion analysis, dispatch dynamics, curtailment forecasting, and production cost modeling integrate with our existing power flow infrastructure. Evaluate and manage vendor relationships for market data and simulation tools. Make build-vs-buy-vs-partner decisions on analytical capabilities. Own external credibility. When a developer or utility questions our methodology, defend it. When a customer needs confidence that Paces’ analysis will hold up against the utility's formal study, provide it. Work directly with Product to shape the power product roadmap; translating developer needs, regulatory developments, and technical feasibility into prioritized product investments. Represent Paces externally as a domain expert; in customer conversations, at conferences, and in industry working groups. Hire, develop, and mentor transmission planning engineers and market analysts. Build a high-agency team culture where engineering rigor and startup speed coexist. Partner with engineering leadership to define what gets automated and what stays human-in-the-loop. Set the standard for delivering in days what consultants deliver in weeks; without compromising quality.

📈 Requirements 10+ years of experience spanning transmission planning and power markets; with meaningful depth on both sides. Proven leadership experience; you've managed engineers, set methodology standards, and been accountable for the quality of analytical deliverables at an RTO/ISO, utility, consultancy, developer, or IPP. Deep expertise in steady-state power flow analysis, contingency analysis, and transmission planning criteria (NERC TPL standards). Proficiency in PSS/E, TARA, PowerWorld, PSLF, or equivalent. Strong understanding of nodal market mechanics: SCUC/SCED, LMP formation, transmission constraint pricing. You can connect a thermal violation in a planning model to a congestion event in the market. Experience across multiple RTO/ISO markets. Track record of translating technical analysis into business decisions; site selection, interconnection strategy, investment cases, or regulatory proceedings.

✨ About You Operate at the intersection of grid physics and grid economics, and have spent your career building expertise on both sides of that boundary. Have strong opinions and are genuinely excited about how automation and AI can be applied to transmission planning and market analysis; what should be systematized, what requires engineering judgment, and where the industry is getting it wrong. Are motivated by building new things. You'd rather define the methodology for a product that doesn't exist yet than optimize an established process at a large organization. Lead by raising the bar; you care about technical quality, but you also invest in developing the people around you and creating an environment where engineers take ownership and do their best work. Are engaged with where the industry is headed. The data center load boom, FERC interconnection reform, flexible load frameworks, the generation queue crisis; these aren't policy abstractions, they're the problems you think about daily.

🚀 Bonus Points Experience in data center interconnection; large load studies, co-location analysis, or curtailable/flexible load frameworks. BESS or solar interconnection, deliverability analysis, or generation curtailment forecasting experience. Involvement in FERC proceedings, RTO stakeholder processes, or transmission planning working groups. Master's Degree or Ph.D. in engineering or other related field Experience at a high-growth startup or building a technical team from an early stage. We move quick at Paces — looking for folks to help us move even faster!

💰 Compensation and Benefits $180,000 - $250,000 annual compensation Competitive equity compensation 401(k) match Health, dental and vision insurance Paid company holidays & PTO Hybrid work in the office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn ~3x per week

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
