Machine Learning Engineer

Powertown • Boston, MA

9d • $190,000 - $200,000

About The Position

Build intelligence around peak shaving, load behavior, utility signals, and storage opportunities. Create agents that research, extract, compare, reason, and propose next steps. Turn grid data into decision systems. Use AI aggressively, then audit it ruthlessly. Invent workflows the industry does not yet have.

Requirements

• Superstar technical thinker who uses ML as one of many tools
• Very high agency. You do not wait for a clean dataset, a polished problem statement, or a perfect roadmap. You form hypotheses, build instruments, test ideas, and keep moving
• AI-first but not AI-reliant. You use agents, LLMs, automation, and modern tools to move faster, but your own judgment stays in charge
• Drawn to the grid because it is physical, messy, high-stakes, and full of hidden leverage

Nice To Haves

• Evidence of exceptional ability: original research, serious side projects, open-source work, startup building, competitions, technical writing, or shipped systems
• Experience with energy storage, utility data, tariffs, load analysis, peak shaving, grid infrastructure, electricity markets, forecasting, optimization, anomaly detection, agentic workflows, or AI-assisted research systems
• Exceptional ability exemplified through personal projects
