Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Advanced feature engineering, uncertainty quantification, and probabilistic forecasting methods
• Energy markets and renewable generation forecasting domain expertise
• Agile project management (Jira, Confluence)

Technical Competencies:

• Feature engineering with weather variables and domain-specific signals
• Model evaluation metrics (MAE, RMSE, MAPE)
• Automated data pipelines and version control (Git)

Job Duties & Responsibilities
Model Development & Production:

• Lead end-to-end forecasting model development for Load, Solar, and Wind from conception through production deployment
• Build automated retraining and evaluation frameworks with monitoring dashboards

Data & Infrastructure:

• Develop data connectors for weather APIs and data warehouse systems
• Design scalable pipelines for real-time and batch forecasting operations
• Create interactive dashboards (Streamlit) and present insights to stakeholders
