Job Description
The Continuous Monitoring team is responsible for piloting, validating, and deploying new technologies—including sensors, AI/ML tools, and advanced monitoring systems—to enhance operational visibility and grid reliability. The team develops solutions in house and collaborates closely with external vendors. A core focus of this team is analyzing real time data to identify issues on the electrical grid and help prevent equipment failures and wildfire risks.
We are seeking a motivated and flexible Engineer who is eager to learn, grow, and contribute to a high impact operational environment. In this role, you will analyze data from line sensors, electrical models, and field devices to detect faults, identify grid anomalies, and support rapid operational decision making. You will collaborate with analysts, engineers, and field teams to validate findings and issue investigation tags when necessary.
Note: Previous experience with RF technology is not required to be successful in this role.
