Senior Software Engineer - Edge Intelligence & Decentralized Grid Operations

Senior Software Engineer – Edge Intelligence & Decentralized Grid Operations We’re building the foundation for next-generation decentralized grid operations—distributing intelligence to the resilient edge to enable autonomous, self‑healing, and adaptive grid management. As a Full‑Stack Software Engineer, you will design and deliver edge intelligence, federated data pipelines, and digital twin components that drive real‑time reliability, autonomy, and security for critical energy systems. Key Responsibilities Design and deploy edge‑native software components for decentralized sensing, control, and autonomous grid operations. Engineer fault‑tolerant data synchronization and concurrency control across distributed edge environments. Build federated data pipelines enabling distributed nodes to collaborate securely without central coordination. Integrate field data sources including SCADA, PMUs, and DER controllers. Implement IoT protocols and networks such as LoRa, MQTT, DNP3, and Modbus. Bridge the gap between simulation environments and live grid operations. Integrate AI/ML capabilities and federated control frameworks into next‑generation grid platforms. Contribute to digital twin design using graph‑based and physics‑informed modeling. Support experimentation and prototyping at customer test sites and simulation environments. Work closely with data scientists, control engineers, infrastructure specialists, and customers. Collaborate with systems engineers to align software with physical grid systems. Partner with product teams to rapidly turn ideas into validated, scalable solutions. Critical Technical Skills and Experience Strong scripting skills in MATLAB, Go, Rust, and Python (backend/edge). Front‑end expertise with HTML, CSS, TypeScript/React or Angular. Deep experience with Kubernetes/K3s, Kafka/NATS, MQTT, gRPC, Pulsar, InfluxDB/TimescaleDB, and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana). Experience with digital twin/simulation modeling: OpenFMB, Modelica, graph‑based modeling. Hands‑on work with AI/ML models in production environments. Experience with federated architectures and resilient edge software for transmission and distribution applications. Preferred Background Master’s degree in electrical engineering or computer science with a minimum of 5 years’ experience in the power industry. Minimum 3+ years of hands‑on experience building real‑time simulation platforms. Deep knowledge in software engineering with experience in advanced automation and federated data processing. Experience with power system modeling and simulation tools such as PSCAD, RTDS, or Opal‑RT. Track record of building, shipping, and scaling complex software systems. Exposure to grid operations, DER management, and industrial IoT environments. Experience with real‑time or cyber‑physical systems where latency and reliability are key. Familiarity with grid standards or protocols (e.g., IEEE2030.5, IEC61850, OpenFMB) is a strong plus. Experience with digital twin modeling frameworks (Modelica, OpenFMB, graph‑based). Behavioral Skills Innovation in practice delivers measurable, customer‑validated outcomes. Entrepreneurial mindset: bias for action, curiosity for what’s possible, and cross‑functional collaboration. Cross‑functional collaboration across software, controls, and hardware. Comfortable working in agile, mission‑oriented teams. Effective communication: explains complex concepts clearly; welcomes feedback and alternative viewpoints. Compensation and Benefits Pay range: $98,400.00 – $164,000.00, with a geographic differential of 110%–130% in certain areas. Bonus eligibility: discretionary annual bonus. Relocation assistance is provided. Benefits include medical, dental, vision, prescription drug coverage, health coaching, employee assistance program, 401(k) savings plan with company matching, tuition assistance, adoption assistance, paid parental leave, disability benefits, life insurance, 12 paid holidays, and permissive time off.
