Senior Data Scientist, Fleet Health
About the role
Data Scientist focused on building fleet health predictive models, thresholds, and optimization frameworks to ensure 99% uptime across Gridware's IoT device network. Collaborates with engineering, operations, and product teams to forecast device health, predict installation performance, and detect/remediate device degradation.
Responsibilities
- Develop predictive and forecasting models to anticipate device health issues, solar availability, and connectivity performance, driving proactive interventions and deployment planning.
- Define, test, and refine health thresholds to classify degradations, detect regressions, and optimize fleet performance across diverse operating conditions.
- Design and evaluate statistical tests and simulations to measure impact, uncover downtime drivers, and identify optimization opportunities.
- Collaborate with engineering, fleet operations, and software teams to embed intelligence into automated monitoring and remediation pipelines at scale.
- Communicate insights and contribute to scalable fleet intelligence frameworks that support growth from tens of thousands to millions of devices.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s, Master’s degree, or PhD in Engineering, Statistics, Data Science, or a related quantitative field.
- 5+ years of applied experience in data science with large-scale, real-world systems (IoT, clean tech, connectivity, or related domains).
- Expertise in forecasting, anomaly detection, and predictive modeling, with experience handling time-series, sensor, or geospatial datasets.
- Proficiency in Python with scientific and ML libraries (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, scikit-learn, Keras, PyTorch) and familiarity with data platforms (SQL, Spark, etc.).
- Strong communicator with the ability to design experiments, validate models, and translate technical findings into actionable insights for cross-functional teams.

About Gridware
Protecting the grid today, preparing the grid for tomorrow
Gridware exists to enhance and protect the mother of all networks: the electrical grid. The grid touches everyone and makes our modern economy possible. But it’s also fragile. When the grid is compromised, everything grinds to a halt, and the consequences can be dire: wildfires burn, land is destroyed, property is damaged, progress stops, and lives are lost. Our team builds smart sensors that help utility companies to immediately detect, find, and fix outages and take steps to prevent new outages, and other related disasters, from happening at all. The need for power will only increase. We protect the grid of today while we build the grid of tomorrow. Gridware is privately held and backed by the best climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors. We are headquartered in the Bay Area in northern California.
