This is an individual contributor role with real technical depth and product influence; you'll be responsible for the full stack of power systems work, from developing and validating high-fidelity models to driving the architecture that makes these models run reliably at scale.</span></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9.84pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-align:start;"><br></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9.84pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-align:start;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This is not a role where the product requirements are handed to you. You will work directly with utility customers to understand their data and validate model outputs against real system measurements, bringing that ground-truth perspective back into product decisions. You'll also work closely within the Engineering team to deploy power flow models in our cloud-native architecture, and unlock large-scale planning studies and real-time orchestration of DERs. </span></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9.84pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-align:start;"><br></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9.84pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-align:start;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The problems we're solving don't have off-the-shelf answers. We work as a tight, technical team that moves with urgency but builds with the discipline that production-grade software demands. If you want to do the most technically interesting power systems modeling work in the industry while directly shaping how it becomes a product, this is the role.</span></p><p style="font-family:"Basel
