A Snapshot of Your Day
As the principal AI research scientist in our Grid Technologies AI Lab, you’ll lead cutting edge research that makes our vision of an autonomous power grid possible. In this role, you’ll combine your experience in cutting-edge AI research for power systems with our next generation hardware and global power system expertise and data to push the envelope of what is possible in the power system of the future. In the morning, you meet with thermal engineers about the physics of a transformer you will model. In the afternoon, you and your team run model training experiments on cutting edge hardware, logging your research results. Later, you meet with domain experts again to get more information that you can use to improve the model.
Passionate about the environment and climate change? Ready to be part of the future of the energy transition? The Siemens Energy Grid Technologies AI Lab is pioneering next generation AI tools for driving the energy transition.
Our team is looking for innovative, enthusiastic, and versatile data, digital, and AI professionals that will drive us forward on this exciting venture.
