Senior Signal Processing Scientist

Sense's mission is to reduce global carbon emissions by making homes smart and efficient. We make it easier for people to take care of their homes and to actively participate in a cleaner, more resilient future. We're serious about having a real impact on climate change.

To accomplish this mission, we are building an AI and automation platform for home energy infrastructure. Come join the Data Science team and ship a great consumer product built on our unique machine learning technology. We have a wide range of interesting technical challenges that span rich time-series data analysis, supervised and unsupervised machine learning, embedded and the cloud, and a team of highly curious, collaborative data scientists and engineers who enjoy solving hard problems together.

If the idea of having a significant positive impact on the product (and climate) sounds exciting to you, let's talk!

The ideal candidate will be:

• Curious to inspect and explain a signal in a novel high-frequency domain
• Excited by computational challenges
• Eager to contribute to cross-team development
  
  

What You'll Do

• Own the roadmap for appliance and power grid faults detection:

• Understand how the faults manifest in the electrical signal
• Develop algorithms to detect and classify them
• Develop computational techniques to process a 1MHz signal in low resource environments to improve appliance or fault detection.
• Collaborate to integrate algorithms to Machine Learning frameworks
• Drive successful algorithms to production
• Contribute to the technical vision of Sense
  
  

Requirements
