Job Title: Data Scientist

Duration: 12+ Months

Location: Remote

Rate: $75-$80/hr on W2

Key points:

Developing computer vision models that improve, accelerate, and automate asset inspections processes

Strong Python programing

Department Overview

The Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Department consists of a "Delivery" team that develop data science and machine learning solutions and a "Center of Excellence" team that supports other practitioners in an enterprise-wide Hub & Spoke analytics adoption model.

As a Delivery team, this Department uses industry leading data science and change management practices to drive transition to the sustainable grid of the future. The Department works cross-functionally across the company to enable data driven decisions applying analytics, as well as improvements to relevant business processes. Deployed to some of the client's highest priority arenas, the Department does not specialize in a traditional utility domain, such as asset management or program administration, but instead specializes in extracting useful insights from disparate data sets and facilitating actions informed by these insights.

This team works on a wide variety of difficult problems, offering great variety in the work, and constant opportunity to explore and learn. Current and past engagements include:

Creating wildfire risk models that are used by regulators and the utility to prioritize asset management

Developing computer vision models that improve, accelerate, and automate asset inspections processes

Predicting electric distribution equipment failure before it occurs, allowing for proactive maintenance

Forming the analytical framework behind Transmission Public Safety Power Shutoff

Optimizing non-wires alternative resource portfolios, like the Oakland Clean Energy Initiative, including location and resource adequacy considerations

Analyzing customer demographic, program participation, and SmartMeter interval data to build program targeted propensity models, e.g. for customer owned distributed energy resource technologies

Identifying and investigating anomalous customer natural gas usage, in order to resolve dangerous customer side leaks
