• Develop automated approaches to predictive maintenance by leveraging artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML).  
• Gather and analyze data to optimize and improve existing products, to guide business strategies, and to discover potential new digital solutions.   
• Build key components of ETL and analytics pipelines and deploy them into an operational analytics environment.  
• Collaborate with data management and engineering on data quality and data governance issues.  
• Proactively perform analyses and develop proofs-of-concept to unlock insights that can be further developed into customer products and service offerings.  
• Collaborate with data engineers, other technology teams, and with business analysts from functional teams across all project phases from ideation to design, development, and product deployment.  

What you will need on this journey: 

• 2+ years of experience in data science/machine learning, with a proven track record in developing data-driven analytical services and products. 
• Master’s or PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Power Systems Engineering, Physics, or a related quantitative field. 
• Strong knowledge of data science, machine learning, and statistics; proficiency in Python, SQL, and standard data science libraries (scikit-learn, pandas, torch/tensorflow). 
• Experience with the full analytics lifecycle: data gathering, analysis, testing, implementation, and communication of results. 
• Additional skills and knowledge in time series analysis, power systems, cloud computing (AWS, Databricks, Spark), and a founder's mentality for problem-solving and adaptability. 

You feel we are a match? Apply now and help us to shape the energy transition together. We look forward to welcoming you to #teamsonnen!
