About the Company
Founded in December 2019 and incorporated in August 2020, ElectricFish Energy, Inc. (“ElectricFish”) is dedicated to bringing energy resilience to transportation. Our turnkey energy storage solutions provide flexible energy resources at sites to help electrify transportation and decarbonize without compromising the grid’s stability. At scale, our network of energy storage will serve as a decentralized ‘utility of the future’ prepared to meet the energy needs of EVs and a renewable powered grid.
Our product provides equitable access to public, ultrafast electric vehicle charging, thus enabling accessible transportation electrification while also providing electricity reliability-as-a-service with the network capacity to offset additional fossil fuel electricity generation in high demand hours. At scale, our network of distributed energy storage stores clean, low-cost electricity that mitigates marginal emissions associated with fossil fuel generation dispatched to match loads.
Why we need you
To continue to build out our vision and grow, we need someone like you to lead the development and testing of algorithms for the operation of our system optimization and grid management intelligence products. We’re looking for a passionate, exceptional, and highly motivated candidate with strong engineering, research, and leadership experience to take on one of the most important roles within our organization. You’ll be helping us bring smart, distributed ultrafast EV charging-integrated energy storage to the mainstream, eliminating EV range anxiety, and accelerating vehicle fleet electrification.
About the Role
In your role, you will own the product roadmap and strategy, as well as the definition of requirements. Functions such as managing iterations, feature development and feature improvement integral to your role. Your core functions also include:
Lead the designing, developing, and deploying of the team’s core algorithms for Energy Storage application for serving EV DC fast charging, behind-the-meter and front-of-the-meter energy services.
Write optimization models using GAMS, OPL and CPLEX to compute dispatch schedules of energy storage system.
