You will design, implement and run the calculations needed to model new connections, and perform the statistical analysis needed to assess their impacts.  Your solutions will allow electricity utilities to efficiently manage grid constraints and resources, to forecast grid state into the future, and to assess connection applications for new renewables projects in record time.</span><br><br></p><p style='font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.38;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:12pt 0px;padding:0px;'><b><strong
