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 Senior Research Engineer with deep expertise in solid mechanics to build the theoretical foundation of Gridware’s new sensing capabilities. You will be the team’s subject matter expert on the mechanics of structures, and your work will directly shape how we measure, validate, and improve our physics-based measurement systems.
You will develop performant measurement algorithms, lead sensitivity analyses that quantify how physical assumptions and algorithm inputs propagate into measurement error and run field validation studies. You will bridge the gap between structural mechanics theory and deployed sensing products.
This position focuses on mechanics modeling, algorithm design, validation study design, and technical leadership rather than fleet-scale data operations or software implementation.
