The Role

We are looking for an R&D Engineer to join our R&D and discovery team. You will design the next generation of algorithms that assess power assets' health, predict failures, and recommend prescriptive actions for utilities.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, data science, and applied research. You will work closely with domain experts to translate knowledge of electric grid assets operations and diagnostics into algorithms that produce health indexes, risk assessments, and diagnostics.

If you enjoy diving into how electric grid assets work and transforming that understanding into actionable insights, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and validate algorithms for the automated assessment of asset health, for failure mode identification and for condition-based maintenance.
• Translate expert domain knowledge into structured logic and models.
• Build health indexes, failure mode models, and prescriptive maintenance actions.
• Analyse time-series and condition-monitoring data (DGA, thermal, load, etc.).
• Evaluate algorithm performance for continuous improvement.
• Keep up with industry standards advancements in analytics for asset condition monitoring.

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Data Science or related field.
• Strong programming skills in Python (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn).
• Hands‑on expertise in DSP, time series analysis and modelling.
• Experience in data modelling, feature engineering, and performance evaluation techniques.
• A blend of data science and engineering skills.
• Ability to work through R&D ambiguity and iterate toward incremental product value.
• Curious mindset, willingness to deeply understand how assets work.

Nice to have

• Hands‑on expertise in modelling and simulation, including physical models and digital twins for electric grid assets.
• Hands‑on experience in designing, deploying and maintaining rule‑based expert systems.
• Background in condition monitoring and predictive maintenance or reliability engineering.

Benefits

• Daily food vouchers: for days worked in person in the premises.
• Training Support: We offer financial assistance for your training and development, based on company discretion. We also have an internal training platform to support your professional and personal development.
• Discounted Gym Membership: Stay fit with our discounted gym membership program.
• Wellness Programs: We prioritise your well‑being through our wellness initiatives.
• Internal Reward & Recognition Tool Kudos: This streamlines and automates the process of acknowledging and appreciating employees and helps contribute to our positive workplace culture.

Our Values

• We work together
• We believe in people
• We won’t accept the ‘way it has always been done’
• We listen to learn
• We’re trying to do the right thing
