Turntide Technologies is helping turn the tide on climate change with a revolutionary Platform for Sustainable Operations that drives down energy consumption and operating costs in buildings, agriculture, and electric transport. Our patented hardware and intelligent software are revolutionizing the $100 billion electric motor industry with a new platform so efficient, reliable, and adaptable that it reduces energy use by more than half. Our larger mission is to replace all the world’s motors with intelligent, optimal-efficiency systems so every watt is worthwhile for humanity. We’re looking for curious, intelligent, collaborative people from diverse backgrounds who want to make a real impact on the sustainability of our planet.

The Job

As the Data Scientist, Building Automation Systems, you will apply state of the art machine learning techniques to gain insights into Turntide devices and other relevant connected IoT devices. Your goal will be to reduce downtime and improve the life expectancy of building systems (ie HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, process equipment) through automated and remote adjustments and alerting, as well as expanded utility of the collective devices. You will implement and deploy end-to-end pipelines to deliver direct value to the business. This role will require a hands-on Data Scientist with experience in modeling challenging Data Science use cases. 

You will be in a visible position that requires direct interaction and collaboration with peers and leaders across businesses and functions. You will work on innovative edge devices and push the limits of data science by using subject matter expertise. You are a quick starter and able to adapt quickly to a complex, rapidly growing and ever-changing environment. You will be encouraged to think like an owner and be accountable for all of the phases of a complex production deployment. You are experienced in predictive maintenance and presenting machine learning technologies to non-Data Scientists. You will leverage a variety of data including device sensor data as well as publicly available data like weather or geospatial data.

Job Responsibilities
