About the role
- We're looking for an engineer in the early stages of their career who has demonstrated the ability to solve difficult technical problems in a professional or research setting to work on hard computational problems in the electric grid.
Responsibilities
- Build optimization and simulation software for large-scale electric grid planning and operations problems.
- Develop models and algorithms for resource scheduling, network constraints, system reliability, and large-scale operational planning.
- Collaborate across software engineering, applied AI, and power systems.
- Access to leading academic, industry, and government partners in the AI-energy ecosystem.
- Partner with hyperscalers, developers, and utilities on high-impact, real-world deployments.
Requirements
- A Master's degree or equivalent experience in a quantitative field such as engineering, computer science, applied math, physics, or operations research.
- Experience writing production-quality code in a language such as Python or Julia.
- Experience with optimization solvers, simulation tools, and large-scale numerical workflows.
- Ability to reason from first principles and learn unfamiliar technical areas quickly.
- 1-5 years of industry experience, or equivalent applied research experience, in optimization, modeling, simulation, or scientific software development.
Nice to have
- Exposure to power systems, energy markets, or the utility industry.
- Exposure to optimization, operations research, numerical methods, scientific computing, or large-scale infrastructure systems.
- Interest in electricity infrastructure, climate, energy, or industrial AI.
- Lunch provided three days a week in office.
Compensation
- $140,000-$220,000
Benefits
- Competitive salary, performance bonus, and equity.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
