• Define KPIs and document calculation procedures, including data collection, data cleaning, analysis method, analysis automation, and visualization.

• Create automated data processing scripts to extract and track relevant KPIs across deployed projects.

• Run gap analysis between in-field, in-lab, and modeled battery performance and contribute to gap root cause hypothesis and required testing for conclusions.

• Support the development and validation of models that predict the performance of our battery systems in various operating conditions

• Collaborate with software and firmware engineers to inform data collection and data storage solutions for our battery deployments at multi-hundred MW scale projects.

• Use field data to identify and predict problems, and to inform root cause analyses in collaboration with O&M and Project Engineering teams.

• Collaborate with user interface design and technical support engineers to define tailored performance views for internal use via our Network Operating Center and separately for external reporting to our customers.

• 5+ years experience with signal processing, data analysis, and/or performance engineering; experience in solar or battery system performance analysis is a plus

• Bachelor's degree or greater in engineering or mathematics

• Demonstrated experience developing robust and documented analysis procedures, cross-functional collaboration to define KPIs.
