About the role
- We pioneered a groundbreaking new class of grid management called active grid response (AGR), focused on monitoring the electrical, physical, and environmental aspects of the grid that affect reliability and safety.
Responsibilities
- Develop analysis pipelines and tooling - using Python, SQL, and related tools - that connect sensor outputs to physical metadata and develop narratives about where our measurements are and are not effective.
- Instrument test articles (e.g., strain gauges, load cells, IMUs), implement data acquisition systems, and prepare comparison datasets to characterize measurement error.
- Scientific computing: comfortable building analysis pipelines in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent to investigate and report system performance across large datasets.
Requirements
- Experience with exploratory data analysis-identifying patterns, anomalies, and cohort-level behavior in noisy real-world data.
- Statistical analysis of physical systems: experience with extreme value statistics, reliability analysis, survival analysis, or probabilistic methods applied to structural or mechanical systems.
- Experience with wood mechanics, timber engineering, or natural/biological materials.
- Experience with geotechnical or foundation mechanics (soil-structure interaction).
- Familiarity with GIS tools or spatial analysis for infrastructure data.
- Experience operationalizing analytical workflows into production systems (dashboards, automated reporting, alerting).
- This describes the ideal candidate
- many of us have picked up this expertise along the way.
