About OPAL-RT Technologies :

Imagine working for a company with customers including NASA, Bombardier, ABB, EMBRAER, MIT, GE, Ford, GM, NREL and Hydro-Québec! OPAL-RT’s ambitious challenge is to fully democratize simulation, making it affordable and accessible to every engineer and researcher. Joining the OPAL-RT family means you will be helping to develop the technology of the future.

OPAL-RT is a recognized leader in diverse and powerful applications. The company's tools are used in a wide variety of fields, including energy, automotive, aerospace, transportation and industrial manufacturing. Headquartered in Quebec and bolstered by a global presence, OPAL-RT is always looking to expanding its team in the US to focus on cutting edge R&D projects.

OPAL-RT accomplishes an important part of its mission by offering state-of-the-art products, with the contribution of its Application eXpertise and Electrical Simulation Division (AXES) division, developing and providing functionalities adapted to the different technical axes of its customers, as well as specialized services and training in innovative technical fields. The AXES Division covers various vertical markets including power systems and power electronics, electric transportation and intelligent controls and protections. Each vertical market is covered by a dedicated team of experts offering also expertise related to Real-Time Simulation, HIL or CHIL (Controller/protection Hardware-in-the-Loop) and PHIL (Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop) as well as advanced modeling and simulation and development of mathematical analysis tools.

The US Energy team is a part of the AXES Division and works mainly on various types of collaborative R&D projects with several research labs, universities, and industry participants that lead to development of proof-of-concepts and new technologies to deploy. The US Energy team also provides internal support to the AXES Division on the development of customized models and capabilities that are eventually transitioned to commercial deployment by core product teams. The US Energy team also plays an important role along with the Platform R&D at OPAL-RT in order to provide efficient technological watch, foster innovation, and develop state-of-the-art technology for various applications.

The US Energy team of the AXES Division covers topics related to Power System Generation, Transmission and Distribution, Protection and Control, Renewable Integration, Smart Grid applications, both in the Electromagnetic Transient Simulation and Phasor Simulation domains.
