About the Role

Lead the design and development of scientifically rigorous analytics solutions leveraging extensive operational data, focusing on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This role involves hands-on work with Python and modern AI frameworks to develop production-grade analytical models addressing complex BESS problems, directly informing core platform capabilities.

Responsibilities

  • Identify, evaluate, and prioritize high-impact advanced analytics opportunities focused on BESS performance, health, and revenue optimization.
  • Lead the development of advanced data science solutions from concept through production deployment.
  • Leverage Power Factors' large-scale operational BESS database to build analytically rigorous, scalable models used across global storage fleets.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to ensure analytical solutions are robust, interpretable, and operationally actionable.
  • Apply deep BESS domain knowledge to define analytically sound problem formulations, feature engineering strategies, and model validation approaches.
  • Engage directly with technically sophisticated customers to explain analytical methods, assumptions, and results with clarity and precision.
  • Serve as an internal BESS subject matter expert, supporting product, sales, and customer success teams with domain guidance.
  • Stay current with advances in battery science, electrochemical modeling, grid storage economics, and ML for energy systems.
  • Propose and lead experiments to improve model quality, expand analytical coverage, and deliver new product capabilities.
  • Contribute to the external scientific and technical community through publications, conference presentations, or open-source contributions where appropriate.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in the energy industry, with a strong emphasis on utility-scale battery energy storage systems.
  • Deep, hands-on understanding of BESS operation, performance, state-of-charge and state-of-health estimation, thermal management, degradation mechanisms, and lifecycle management.
  • Demonstrated experience working with large-scale operational BESS datasets, including BMS telemetry, SCADA, event logs, cycle data, and high-frequency time series.
  • Proven experience developing analytical solutions used by asset owners, operators, integrators, or OEM-adjacent organizations to support operational and strategic decision-making.
  • Proficiency in Python and modern data science libraries (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow / PyTorch, etc.).
  • Strong grounding in statistics, machine learning, and applied AI, with demonstrated real-world deployment experience.
  • Experience with time-series analysis, signal processing, anomaly detection, forecasting, and predictive modeling in industrial or electrochemical contexts.
  • Experience with version control (Git) and collaborative software development practices.
  • Ability to clearly communicate complex analytical concepts, assumptions, and results to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience working closely with software engineering teams in production environments (APIs, services, deployment pipelines).
  • Proven ability to translate operational challenges and customer needs into analytically sound and implementable solutions.
  • High degree of autonomy and ownership in complex, technically ambiguous problem spaces.
  • Strong scientific rigor, intellectual curiosity, and attention to detail.
  • Comfort working on long-horizon, technically demanding problems where analytical quality and robustness are critical.
