Job Description

About Gridware
Gridware is a San Francisco-based technology company dedicated to protecting and enhancing the electrical grid. We pioneered a groundbreaking new class of grid management called active grid response (AGR), focused on monitoring the electrical, physical, and environmental aspects of the grid that affect reliability and safety. Gridware’s advanced Active Grid Response platform uses high-precision sensors to detect potential issues early, enabling proactive maintenance and fault mitigation. This comprehensive approach helps improve safety, reduce outages, and ensure the grid operates efficiently. The company is backed by climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors.

Role Description

We are seeking a creative, hands-on Senior Mechanical Research Engineer with significant vibration and dynamics experience to lead complex mechanical sensing problems on edge grid intelligence products with real-world impact.

You will become an expert in how our grid sensor signals — accelerometer, IMU, and other mechanical-measurement signals — behave in the real world across diverse infrastructure. You will investigate sensing performance via exploratory data analysis, dynamics modeling coupled with bench and full-scale testing. You will also support design improvements, and validate improvements using test infrastructure you develop. You will define mechanical sensing requirements, develop measurement-chain improvements, and help mature new mechanical sensing capabilities.

The focus is on understanding the mechanical phenomena that affect the grid, including measurement performance, validation, and technology transfer, rather than product design or implementation.
