Position Overview
LGES-Vertech is seeking a highly motivated Senior Data Scientist to join our AI & Data Science team. This role will be a key driver in the research, design, and deployment of our Battery State Estimation algorithms. You will act as a subject matter expert, applying advanced ML/Data Science and statistical techniques to estimate the state of the BESS assets.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role for a technically deep and creative problem-solver. You will directly influence how data science enhances the commercial value, availability, and performance of our BESS(Battery Energy Storage System) fleet.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive the end-to-end development of battery state estimation algorithms, such as State of Energy/Charge/Power/Health, all the way from initial R&D and prototyping to production deployment.
• Utilize a deep understanding of BESS, from individual cell level physics to system level topology and state estimation metrics.
• Design, build, and deploy AI/ML State estimation models for predicting energy availability, critical for optimal BESS trading strategies.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including product, energy market analysts, engineering, and DevOps, to define requirements, integrate models into production pipelines, and deliver scalable, cloud-integrated data products. 
• Stay abreast of state-of-the-art AI/ML and deep learning techniques published in literature.
• Lead the transition of AI/ML models from research to production, ensuring robust, scalable, and efficient software development practices.
• Leverage expertise in efficiently handling large-scale, noisy battery data.
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor for junior team members, contributing to the strategic technical roadmap for the AI/Data Science team.
