With more than 90 million field hours and counting, Gridware is already detecting the small changes that lead to big problems.Together with utility companies, we’re preventing hazards from causing harm. We’re helping crews restore power quickly and safely.... Backed by Sequoia and Y Combinator.
About the role
We are seeking a creative, hands-on Research Engineer with a strong electrical engineering foundation to join our R&D team and solve challenging sensing and measurement problems with real-world impact. You will combine physics, experimentation, and data analysis to understand how our grid sensor signals behave in the real world, identify opportunities to improve sensing performance, and develop new sensing capabilities. This role focuses on measurement and applied research rather than traditional product design.
What they're looking for
- MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant industry experience, or PhD with relevant research or industry experience
- Strong fundamentals in electromagnetics, sensing, and electrical measurement
- Experience investigating ambiguous sensing, signal-quality, or measurement problems through data analysis and experimentation
- Comfortable using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools to analyze scientific or engineering data
- Hands-on experience collecting and interpreting electrical measurements using lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes and DAQs
- Strong technical judgment, communication, and ability to work across disciplines
