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. For more information, please visit www.Gridware.io .

About the Role

We are seeking a creative, fast-paced experimentalist to join our growing Physical R&D team. You will be responsible for leading early-stage research of novel sensing technologies to expand our product offerings. The ideal candidate will be an expert in electromagnetic theory, experimental design, and hands-on development of novel experimental methods involving kW-level power electronics.

This is not a product development role. All project work is focused on early-stage research to de-risk potential, future products. The work focuses on iterative physical experimentation to discover novel technology.
