Energy Data Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

Our team at KODE Labs is looking for a Staff Data Engineer - Energy Data to build the systems that turn raw energy and meter data into trusted, calculation-ready datasets.

In this role, you'll combine strong data and software engineering skills with an understanding of time-series and energy data. You'll define validation and cleaning logic, build production-grade pipelines, and partner with software engineers to turn these capabilities into scalable, reusable parts of KODE OS.

• Define and implement energy meter validation rules across integrations, meter types, units, reporting frequencies, and building configurations.
• Build production-grade validation, cleaning, and normalization pipelines that transform raw meter data into trusted, calculation-ready datasets.
• Validate incoming integration data for completeness, freshness, schema consistency, timestamps, units, and expected behavior.
• Use Digital Twin context to validate meter identity, units, hierarchy, equipment relationships, and expected reporting frequency.
• Develop detection and handling logic for spikes, outliers, gaps, duplicates, stale values, and missing data.
• Build robust logic for cumulative-to-interval conversion, including meter resets, rollovers, replacements, negative deltas, and invalid drops.
• Establish quality flags, confidence indicators, and clear lineage between raw, cleaned, and corrected values.
• Develop reusable validation patterns that can scale across customers, buildings, integrations, and different types of meters.
• Build monitoring and observability around energy data quality so issues can be identified before they impact downstream calculations or customer‑facing products.
• Partner with Energy, Integrations, Digital Twin, and Data teams to understand upstream data behavior and downstream calculation requirements.
• Work closely with software engineers to productize validation logic into reusable tooling, APIs, monitoring workflows, and automated validation systems.
• Continuously improve validation and cleaning approaches as new integrations, meter types, and data‑quality scenarios emerge.

• Strong data engineering experience working with IoT, meter, operational, or high‑volume time‑series data.
• Strong SQL and Python skills, with the software engineering experience to build reliable production systems.
• Experience building data validation, cleaning, anomaly detection, and data‑quality pipelines.
• Strong understanding of time‑series data challenges, including gaps, irregular intervals, duplicates, timestamps, stale data, and outliers.
• Understanding of energy concepts such as consumption, demand, cumulative and interval meters, cost, EUI, and unit normalization.
• Experience building scalable data pipelines and working with modern data processing and storage technologies.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to translate complex data‑quality scenarios into reusable engineering solutions.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across data, software engineering, product, and domain teams.

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Discretionary Bonus Program
• Career Development Program and opportunities to grow within the company
• Flexible Paid Time Off
• Dynamic team and challenging projectsCustom‑tailored onboarding experience
• Welcoming and friendly work environment
• Social events and team activities
