Data Scientist (Fall 2024 Co-Op)

Job Type
Internship
Description
Do you love to use python code to make sense of research questions using large volumes of noisy real-world data? This job is for you.
We seek a Fall 2024 Co-Op Data Scientist to join our high performing Data Science team to discover and develop algorithmic improvements in the weather-based and LiDAR sensor inputs that power our core dynamic line rating models. This Co-Op role is perfect for students or academic scientists looking to break into the software industry and clean energy industry.
What will you do?

• Own an end-to-end research project to answer an important research question using LineVision's data, and present your results to colleagues.
• Improve, automate, and sharpen our algorithmic capabilities for detecting rare events such as conductor icing, wind-driven conductor galloping, and thermal anomalies.
• Derive statistical conclusions about the thermal performance of power line conductors and track the impacts of seasonal and environmental changes to our models over time.
• Field ad hoc analytics requests to answer customer questions as part of scoping new business, and generate analyses that build confidence in our data with existing clients.

Skills and experience required to succeed in this role

• A shared passion to accelerate the clean energy transition
• Pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in a scientific or engineering discipline (e.g. astronomy, physics, geology, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, atmospheric science, fluid dynamics, or boundary layer meteorology)
• Fluent with units of measurement: can you speak in milligauss, amps, m/s, °C, knots, pascals, and Newtons?
• Desired experience and programming languages:
  • Python experience preferred
  • Exposure to data science tools: pandas, numpy, SQL, matplotlib, Jupyter notebooks
  • Exposure to different data types: time series, IoT sensor data, or geospatial data

Work Schedule: The ideal candidate would be available for a minimum of 3 months, up to the full 6 month co-op term, working 40 hours a week. LineVision has a standard US holiday schedule, and up to a week of additional unpaid time off is permissible. Upon successful internship or co-op completion, you will be considered for a full-time position upon graduation.
Compensation: $25 - $30 per hour
