What they're looking for

  • Own domain quality for the Engineering AI Agent: review outputs, build test cases, find the edge cases, and define the assumptions the product makes when data is incomplete
  • Translate messy utility engineering workflows into well-scoped product requirements, and define what the “gold standard” process looks like for each one
  • Support the commercial team as the engineering expert in the room: lead discovery, present and demo to utility engineering leadership, and scope pilot programs that close
  • Support implementations end to end: onboard planning and asset management teams, encode their workflows as skills in the product, and run workshops to train them
  • Work directly with customers on real engineering problems, from asset health scores to capital plan defensibility, helping them use the product and feeding what you learn back into the roadmap
  • Build the institutional knowledge layer: reusable skills, worked examples, and manuals, so your expertise compounds into the product
