Form of work
SalaryAre you an experienced Data Scientist looking to join an industry-leading team? We’re looking to add expertise in our Applied Meteorology area and are considering levels II through IV in seniority.
E Source develops groundbreaking data science applications that change the way utilities understand and manage their networks. We tackle challenging projects like forecasting the impact of severe weather on utility networks and optimizing vegetation management strategies. To conduct these projects, we leverage a combination of machine-learning models, inference-based statistics, and remote-sensing applications. Each project or product is collaboratively developed in-house by a data science team of diverse professional backgrounds and domain expertise. Ultimately, our work helps utilities enhance their electric reliability and prepare to adopt and deploy cutting-edge green energy technology.
What you’ll do
- Fit and assess predictive models leveraging numerical weather forecasts and other data sources in Python
- Analyze retrospective and forward-looking impact of weather on the utility grid
- Collaborate with a broader data science and engineering team to take projects and products from inception to client delivery
What will make you a good fit:
Required qualifications:
- MS in atmospheric science, meteorology, or similar field of study, plus one year of applied experience or PhD with applied analysis in aforementioned field of study
- Minimum three years of experience conducting data science projects using spatial-temporal weather datasets in industry or applied research, including analytical design, managing schedules, and communicating results to stakeholders
- Extensive experience fitting and assessing predictive models leveraging numerical weather forecasts in Python
- Experience conducting all phases of analysis, including data compilation, EDA, feature engineering, and generating deliverables
- Experience working as part of a larger data science team, collaborating with technical and nontechnical peers and stakeholders
Preferred qualifications:
- Domain expertise using remotely sensed weather observations

A little about E Source
Utilities across the US and Canada face the same fundamental, day-to-day challenges: to ensure reliable service for every customer while maintaining and modernizing aging distribution networks and meeting regulatory requirements—all while keeping rates affordable. At the same time, climate change has created a common, universal call to action: to reduce our carbon impact, improve our environment, and ensure the prosperity of future generations.
At E Source, we’re dedicated to helping every utility become a Sustainable Utility. That means doing the hard work it takes to achieve goals that often seem at odds with one another:
Environmental responsibility: Decarbonizing operations, reducing emissions, eliminating water leaks, and finding efficiencies- Reliability: Providing safe, continuous, and consistent service in the face of increasing volatility caused by climate change, including extreme weather, drought, and fire
- Equity: Making services and programs truly available to all, especially low- and moderate-income residential customers and small and midsize businesses who are often disproportionately impacted by societal events
- Financial stability: Ensuring a bottom line that affords capital and operational expenditures while enabling innovation and giving back to our communities
E Source blends industry-leading research, predictive data science, and solution services to help utilities make better decisions to serve their customers, their bottom line, and our planet. With a commitment to practical innovation, we use more than three decades of utility-focused experience and our unique solution set to help our clients become a Sustainable Utility.
