About The Position

MISO is hiring an AI Engineer to build innovative AI-powered solutions that directly influence how the power grid is planned, operated, and optimized. In this role, you’ll apply artificial intelligence and cloud-native technologies to predict grid conditions, enhance real-time reliability, and enable smarter decisions across one of North America’s most complex energy systems. You’ll join our Emerging Technology team, collaborating with curious, forward-thinking engineers and data professionals to design, test, and deploy innovative prototypes. This team explores cutting-edge technologies and turns concepts into solutions with real potential for industry-wide impact. If you’re excited to experiment, learn, and make a tangible difference for millions of people who rely on the grid every day, this role puts your work where it truly matters.

Requirements

A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Data Analytics or related field.
Proficiency with AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) for real-time prototyping from natural language inputs.
Hands-on experience working with prompt engineering - building Retrieval-Augmented Generations (RAG) pipelines or experimenting with agent frameworks.
Strong programming skills in Python and R (including libraries like scikit-learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow for machine learning development).
Hands-on experience developing and building scalable APIs (REST; gRPC).
Experience integrating AI/LLM tools such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or Anthropic APIs into applications
Familiarity with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and deploying applications in containerized environments (Docker; Kubernetes awareness).

Responsibilities

Prototyping and developing AI driven and intelligent agent solutions that directly support grid reliability and smarter decision-making.
Testing emerging tools, frameworks, and APIs (like OpenAI and Vertex AI), and helping to shape recommendations for how AI is used across MISO.
Collaborating in fast-paced ideation sessions to create prototypes, minimum viable products (MVPs), and scalable solutions that move from concept to production.
Staying current on the latest advancements in AI and share insights with teammates and stakeholders, influencing how emerging technologies are adopted across the organization.
Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of data scientists, data engineers, and software engineers to produce AI solutions, helping bring emerging technologies into a mission-critical energy environment.
