Data Scientist-Jobs in United States

Our Mission

At encentive, we are building flexOn – an intelligent energy management system that uses AI to control industrial assets.

We collect real-time data from assets, forecast their behavior, and combine this with external factors such as weather conditions and energy prices. The result: optimized costs and reduced CO₂ emissions.

Today, flexOn is a tool built by engineers, for engineers.

Tomorrow – with you – it will become a product that excites customers, delivers real value, and redefines standards in the energy industry.

??? Your mission

In the future, it will not only be crucial to consume less energy, but also to consume it at the right time - this is the only way to optimally integrate volatile renewable energies from wind and solar into our electricity system.

With our AI-based flexOn platform, we help industrial electricity consumers to actively flexibilize their energy consumption - in other words, to use electricity when it is particularly green and cheap. Our goal: to drive forward the decarbonization of the energy system - and significantly reduce costs in the process.

At encentive, you will not only have the opportunity to be part of a fast-growing start-up, but you will also be an important part of accelerating the energy transition from day one.

Your Tasks

• Development of machine learning models to forecast important variables such as electrical energy generation and consumption, which we use to efficiently control and optimize energy flows
