About the Job

Responsibilities

  • Design and own the evaluation framework for the foundation model, including metrics, baselines, backtesting protocols, and acceptance criteria aligned with customer needs.
  • Build and maintain a trustworthy, reproducible evaluation harness with automated comparison against baselines.
  • Design and run data and modelling experiments that inform training decisions, including data mixtures, context and horizon sizing, normalisation strategy, and training recipe choices.
  • Design experiments that quantify the business value of the model for pilot use cases.
  • Report model performance by asset class, original equipment manufacturer, and rated-capacity bucket, and investigate failure modes through shadow validation.
  • Develop a deep understanding of renewable asset data, including signal behaviour, operational events, and the distinction between true anomalies and normal operation such as curtailment.
  • Partner with the software/data engineer to define data quality standards and the interface between the data platform and training pipeline.
  • Identify, characterise, and address data quality issues across the fleet.
  • Build on the existing architecture as it scales, ensuring each scale-up decision is backed by evidence.
  • Contribute to the planning and execution of large-scale GPU training runs alongside the engineering team.
  • Ensure every trained model is linked to its configuration, dataset version, code version, and evaluation results.
  • Help evaluate integration of new data types, such as drone imagery reports and inspection reports, into the model.
  • Design evaluation approaches for expanded LLM-based use cases.
  • Work closely with the internal data science lead and the software/data engineer.
  • Write concise decision memos covering what was tested, what was found, and what changed as a result.
  • Document evaluation procedures and experimental results to a standard that allows the broader team to operate and iterate independently.

About the Company

Power Factors

Cloud-based asset performance management for renewables

Power Factors provides a cloud-based SaaS platform for the renewable energy sector that helps asset owners, operators, and independent power producers optimize large portfolios of wind, solar, and energy storage assets. Its Unity energy management suite unifies monitoring, analytics, field service management, and commercial asset management into one platform that collects data from many sources to support remote asset management. The platform uses SCADA data, AI-based predictive analytics, and automated workflows built on OSIsoft PI and Microsoft Azure to improve revenue and reduce manual tasks. It differentiates itself by merging multiple capabilities from a series of acquisitions into a single integrated system at scale, and its goal is to maximize financial and physical performance while expanding global adoption.
