Job Title: Data Scientist – Power Systems
Job Description:
We are seeking a Data Scientist with deep expertise in power systems
to support utility operations, grid modernization initiatives, and data-driven engineering efforts. The ideal candidate combines strong data science skills with a solid understanding of electric transmission and distribution systems, enabling them to derive actionable insights that enhance reliability, efficiency, and resiliency.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Develop and implement advanced analytics, machine learning, and statistical models to solve complex problems in power system operations, asset management, and grid planning.
-
Analyze large volumes of operational and engineering data ( SCADA, AMI, outage, DER, GIS) to detect patterns, forecast performance, and optimize system behavior.
-
Collaborate with engineering, operations, and IT teams to identify high-value use cases and deliver practical, data-driven solutions.
-
Leverage domain knowledge in power systems to inform data feature engineering, model interpretation, and stakeholder communication.
-
Support the development of digital twins, grid simulations, and predictive maintenance models.
-
Contribute to the design and implementation of scalable analytics pipelines and cloud-based solutions.
-
Present findings to both technical and non-technical audiences, translating insights into business recommendations.
-
Stay up to date on emerging technologies, tools, and trends in utility analytics and the energy sector.
Required Qualifications:
-
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related field(Master’s or Ph.D. preferred).
-
7+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or applied research roles, with at least 3 years in a utility or power systems context.
-
Strong understanding of electric power systems, grid operations, or utility engineering(e.g., load flow, protection, reliability, DER integration).
-
Proficiency in Python, R, or similar tools for data analysis and modeling.
-
Experience with data visualization tools(e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Plotly).
-
Familiarity with SQL and cloud platforms(e.g., Azure, AWS).
-
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
-
Experience working with utility-specific datasets such as SCADA, OMS, AMI, or GIS.
-
Knowledge of utility industry standards, regulatory frameworks, and planning practices.
-
Familiarity with tools like PSS/E, CYME, OpenDSS, or PSCAD.
-
Exposure to real-time analytics, edge computing, or IoT in grid environments.
What We Offer:
-
Competitive compensation and benefits.
-
A mission-driven culture focused on safety, sustainability, and innovation.
-
Opportunities to work on impactful projects shaping the future of the grid.
-
Professional development and training support.
-
Flexible and hybrid work arrangements.
