Engineer I/II/III - Engineering Analytics & Modeling: Data Analysis & Data Visualization

Job Summary

We Strive to Drive Power Innovation Through Data

The nature of the grid is in flux – we on the Engineering Analytics & Modeling team see this challenge and aim to rise to the occasion. Our team mandate is simple: we aim to bridge the gap between real-world system data and provide consumable business intelligence to help steer the future of how we monitor and manage the grid. Our fast-growing team is responsible for the capture, utilization, and application of time-series data, including Synchrophasors and SCADA. Our work is to steward this data and ensure its analysis and outputs influence our business and the industry to adapt and meet the demands of shifting energy landscape. We seek the curious, the self-motivated, and those driven by the pursuit of driving change.
 
Job Summary: We Seek Joint Expertise in Power Systems & Data Storytelling 
Our Engineering Analytics & Modeling team is seeking a Data Analysis & Data Visualization expert with Engineering background to support our growing and developing electric transmission analytics capabilities. An ideal candidate is driven by the pursuit of excellence – this is not a job for wrench-turning, but rather for those compelled to identify problems and solve them with critical thinking abilities and working with a multi-faceted team. Candidates must bring an ability to identify gaps in knowledge and organizational capability and pinpoint uses for data and storytelling techniques to ensure we serve the business with improved data-decision making technology. A successful candidate will focus on:
 

• Forging new relationships across the organization in search for applicable use cases and opportunities to use time series data as a backbone for analysis and decision-making.
• Ongoing account management – tending to existing relationships to meet established project requirements and ensure any analytic/application outputs meet the stated objective from our captured requirements.
• Trial and error through agile methods with the established stakeholder group; in the pursuit of lightweight applications and capabilities, we operate through constant contact and focus on results and proving value, not through over-engineered top-down solutioning.:
• Continuous learning: whether it’s new technologies or more about our company vertical, our most successful team members are those who have an insatiable desire to learn.
• Exploring new visualization tools and modeling for time-series analysis in power systems -- whether from industry or parallel industries – we aim to stay plugged into the latest offered through technology and professional practice.

This position will be filled at the level commensurate with the selected candidates’ skills and abilities.  

• Must be able to meet NERC qualifications. 
• Relocation assistance may be offered to the successful candidate. 
• Sponsorship assistance may be offered to the successful candidate.

Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Experience

The knowledge, skills, abilities and experience required for entry into this job include the following:

 
Engineer I:  0-2+ years of engineering experience
Engineer II: 3+ years of engineering experience
Engineer III: 5+ years of engineering experience

• Engineering principles: We prefer candidates bring a power systems background to this role, but it is not required. Alternative engineering skills and a desire to learn about our operating vertical will also be accepted provided a candidate shows strong data analysis and storytelling skills and demonstrates an affinity for learning and growth.
• Data Analysis: Interrogating data and carefully posing the right questions to produce insightful and high impact outputs and outcomes. Candidates should possess strong analytic skills and have a history of using programmatic languages to create data analyses and visualizations that answer specific and properly posed questions. Candidates must demonstrate a high degree of proficiency in developing tools and performing analysis using Python, MATLAB, or an equivalent data analysis language. Advanced Excel, and SQL skills are not mandatory, but strongly preferred.
• Data Visualization: More accurately, data storytelling. Graphing data has become a low-code/no-code capability – telling the right story with data to ensure end users feel empowered and assured of how they approach their work is the elevated and specialized skill we’re after. We encourage candidates with background in Power BI, Tableau, Google Data Studio, or SAS to apply for the role.
• Autonomy and self-starting: We are spearheading a brand-new industry capability; we are seeking candidates with the ability to operate independently while aligning to the joint mission of our team. 
• Strong Communication Skills: Our work will support customers across the organization, strong oral and written communication skills will be a key part of our ability to succeed and penetrate the organization.
