About the position
National Grid is hiring a Digital Product Manager- ADMS. This is a hybrid position located in Waltham, MA, Syracuse, or Brooklyn, NY. The ADMS Product Manager is primarily responsible for leading the design, deployment, and maintenance of the new Electric Advanced Management Distribution System (ADMS). The ADMS system will control field devices such as line reclosers and capacitor banks, and gather information from all SCADA-enabled assets. This ability will enable our Advanced Distribution Management (ADMS) to estimate real-time situation awareness and automatically operate the distribution system. The ability to automate operations in real-time is a stepping stone to centralized Grid Automation transition. The ADMS product will integrate with many other grid modernization platforms to manage the utilization of our distribution system. Solar generation, energy storage, and electrification of transportation are some technologies that ADMS will centrally manage to maximize their dispatch utilization in real-time. DSCADA will increasingly become a mission-critical system for the future of the electric grid.
