The successful candidate will be a subject matter expert in the Machine Learning space, who is able to adapt quickly to new data and analytical requests from across the First Solar organization. This may include engineering statistical analysis, contract analysis, policy analysis and project management tasks. The Machine Learning Engineer will also be responsible for orchestrating continuous integration of model artifacts to assist data scientists in generating detailed energy predictions for prospective and operating sites.
The ideal candidate will build relationships with internal and external groups to research state of the art meteorological analysis, statistical analysis, energy prediction methods & tools, and recommendations for PV power plant design in support of their work. He/she will identify outstanding bottlenecks in the data infrastructure, support and enhance existing systems and productionize AI environments for modeling and forecasting.
Education/Experience:
Bachelor's degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Statistics, or Physics required. Advanced degree is a plus.
At least 10 years in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning algorithm development.
At least 5 years in building ML pipelines and prior experience with MLOps.
Required Skills/Competencies:
Proficient with programming languages (Python, Matlab, R, or similar), relational databases (SQL Server), data analysis and visualization software's (preferably JMP, Power BI, SAS).
Have solid understanding of the machine learning model stack (regression, classification, neural networks, time series) and ML Frameworks and libraries (Scikit learn, Xgboost, Keras, Pytorch, Tensorflow, statsmodels)
Proficiency in managing and analyzing extensive sets of data, coupled with expertise in data scrubbing, ETL, feature extraction, and data visualization.
Familiarity with renewables energy prediction modeling (preferably solar) and processing meteorological data and understanding of power engineering is preferred.
