You will provide scientific support to a growing number of operational hubs in various countries as we expand beyond the United States. You will help create an integrated technical system which prevents potential disasters, ensures fleet reliability, and safeguards communities.

Responsibilities:

  1. Develop an advanced operations alerting system to efficiently respond to real-time events on the electrical grid.
  2. Leverage intelligent processing of high-frequency data across multiple sensor modalities to generate informative features for both human and machine learning models.
  3. Advance research and development efforts for characterization and detection of faults on the electrical grid.
  4. Expand monitoring capabilities to identify long-term risks to the electrical grid and explore new markets for safety and reliability improvement.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Has an advanced degree in engineering or a physical science.
  • Has a track record of delivering multiple projects using diverse and distributed sensor data to classify or detect natural phenomena.
  • Has experience in preparing real-time data and tools for operations centers, such as security monitoring, weather, pipeline, wind turbine, or utility management.
  • Proven experience in presenting data to diverse audiences through dashboards and user-facing software tools.

Minimal Qualifications:

  • 3 years of experience in analyzing and interpreting sensor or instrumentation data within a scientific or engineering context.
  • Demonstrated ownership and delivery of at least two scientific projects involving event detection or classification based on sensor data.
  • Working knowledge of signal processing and time-series analysis.
  • Proficiency with Python, Git, and SQL.
  • Familiarity with C++ and Spark.
  • Ability to work in a Linux environment.
Benefits
