Sense’s mission is to reduce global carbon emissions by making homes smart and efficient.

We make it easier for people to care for their homes and create a cleaner, more resilient future. We’re serious about having an impact on climate change.

To accomplish this mission, we are building a platform for both home and grid energy infrastructure.

Come join the Data Science team and ship a great product built with machine learning technology.

We have a wide range of interesting technical challenges that span rich time-series data analysis; supervised and unsupervised machine learning; grid topology inference and fault localization; running code on embedded devices; and cloud computing.

We are a team of curious, collaborative data scientists and engineers who enjoy solving hard problems together.

If the idea of having a significant positive impact on our product (and climate) sounds exciting to you, let's talk!

The ideal candidate will be:

• Curious to inspect and explain power signals in a novel, high-frequency domain
• Excited by computational challenges
• Eager to contribute to cross-team development
  

What you’ll do:

• Own the roadmap for fault detection
  • Understand how both grid and appliance faults manifest in electrical signals
  • Develop algorithms to detect and classify faults
  • Manage datasets of confirmed faults and standard signals

• Develop computational techniques to process 1 MHz signals in low resource environments, ultimately improving detection of faults and appliances
• Collaborate on integrating algorithms with machine learning frameworks
• Drive successful processes to production
• Contribute to the technical vision of Sense

Requirements

Who you are:

• Masters or higher in Electrical Engineering, Communications, Physics or Mathematics
• Expert understanding of signal processing, time-series / frequency analysis, algorithms, and data structures
• Professional development experience with C/C++
• Experience with software development in Python
  • Jupyter notebooks, numpy, pandas, and scikit-learn
• Experience with the software development lifecycle: version control; peer reviews; defect tracking; reading and writing documentation; and debugging
• Experience with unsupervised clustering and supervised classification techniques

Why Sense:
