Aurora Energy Research Consulting

Grid Research Associate

Gurugram, India In person Full-time

About the role: Aurora is seeking an Associate to join our India Grid Research team in Gurugram. This is a quantitative and client-facing role at the intersection of power systems, electricity markets and investment analysis. You will play a central role in the continued rollout and development of Aurora’s India Grid product, helping developers, investors and lenders understand how transmission build-out, grid congestion, connectivity and curtailment affect renewable projects and investment decisions.

You will take ownership of analytical workstreams and the delivery of Grid coverage across individual Indian states and regions. This will include analysing transmission infrastructure and connection queues, developing and quality-assuring forward-looking grid and curtailment analysis, and translating complex technical outputs into clear commercial insights. We are looking for someone who combines four core strengths: Engineering and grid understanding – a strong understanding of power systems, transmission networks and the physical drivers of congestion and curtailment.

Quantitative modelling – the ability to work confidently with complex datasets and modelling frameworks to develop robust forward-looking analysis. Market understanding – an understanding of how generation, demand, storage, transmission and electricity-market dynamics interact, and what these changes mean commercially. Communication – the ability to turn sophisticated technical analysis into clear, compelling insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.

You will work closely with Aurora’s India Research, Grid modelling and Software teams and have the opportunity to develop deep expertise in India’s rapidly evolving power system.
