What is an electric grid?

An Electric Grid job involves managing, maintaining, and optimizing the infrastructure that delivers electricity from power plants to consumers. Professionals in this field work on transmission and distribution networks, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and security. Roles can include grid operators, engineers, and technicians who monitor systems, perform maintenance, and implement new technologies. These jobs are critical for preventing outages and integrating renewable energy sources.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the electric grid position?

To thrive in an Electric Grid operations or engineering role, you need a strong background in electrical engineering, systems analysis, and grid management—typically with a relevant degree and practical experience. Familiarity with SCADA systems, grid simulation software, power flow analysis tools, and certifications like NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) are highly valuable. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and clear communication skills distinguish top performers, especially when coordinating with field teams and external partners. These skills are vital for ensuring grid stability, minimizing outages, and maintaining the safe, efficient delivery of electricity to customers.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working on the electric grid?

Professionals working on the electric grid frequently deal with challenges such as quickly responding to outages, integrating renewable energy sources, and managing grid reliability during peak demand. This role often requires rapid decision-making and collaboration with field crews, engineers, and dispatchers to address equipment failures or unexpected system fluctuations. Continual learning is important, as new technologies and regulatory standards are regularly introduced in the industry. Although the work can be demanding, especially during severe weather events, it is highly rewarding and offers clear paths for growth into supervisory or specialized grid management roles.

Software Engineering Mountain View, CA (HQ)
About the team:
Tapestry is a group within Google working to build the AI-powered electric grid. We are tackling one of the world's most important infrastructure challenges: helping the energy system become more visible, understandable, reliable, affordable, abundant, and clean.
Originally born at X, Alphabet's moonshot factory, Tapestry brings together experts in energy, AI, software engineering, and products to build tools that help the electricity ecosystem plan smarter, move faster, and operate more efficiently.
This is a global effort. Tapestry supports partners across the U.S., U.K., Chile, New Zealand, Australia, and Brazil as they work toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
Joining Tapestry means doing high-impact work with a multidisciplinary team tackling a problem that matters at global scale. Learn more about our team and our mission here.
About the role
We are seeking a talented grid simulations and computational specialist to join Tapestry and help expand our high-performance grid computation capabilities. In this role, you will bridge power system physics with modern software architecture, designing simulation algorithms and optimization tools capable of handling complex, large-scale electrical networks.
You will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of AI researchers, software engineers, power systems domain experts, and product managers to turn complex technical challenges into production-ready solutions. By building advanced computational capabilities, you will empower global energy partners to accelerate the transition to clean energy, improve grid reliability, and unlock transformative 10x impact across the global energy ecosystem.
How you'll make 10x impact:
In this role you will...
  • Work with power system and software engineering experts on the design and creation of advanced simulation and optimization tools.
  • Develop codes and algorithms to take full advantage of powerful, modern computer hardware.

What you should have:
  • Master or PhD in Electrical Engineering.
  • Solid expertise and a deep understanding of core power systems and power electronics principles.
  • 6+ years of experience in power systems or power electronics modeling and simulations.
  • Experience in one or more general-purpose programming languages such as Python, Java, or C/C++.
  • Understanding of numerical methods, including solving nonlinear/linear differential equations, differentiation and integration, and time discretization.

It'd be great if you had these:
  • Experience conducting power system planning and interconnection studies.
  • Are a skilled and efficient programmer in scientific programming languages (e.g, JAX, C++, Julia, etc.) with a desire to expand into new areas of coding languages and processes.
  • Familiar with Machine Learning concepts.

Our values
  • Take charge: We take initiative and own outcomes that move the mission forward.
  • Transform with purpose: We build solutions that solve real problems and create meaningful impact.
  • Be a Tapestry, not a thread: We collaborate across diverse skills and perspectives to achieve more than we can individually.
  • Always fine-tune: We stay curious, seek feedback, and refine our understanding as we learn.
  • Stay grounded: We listen openly, value different perspectives, and stay focused on what matters most.

What we offer
A culture that supports growth, ownership, and meaningful impact, along with:
  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous PTO and flexible hybrid work model
  • 401(k) with employer contribution
  • Professional development
  • The ability to work on important real-world problems within an Alphabet-backed environment
