Renewable Energy Performance Lead Engineer
Job description
We’re looking for an experienced renewable energy engineer to lead our Service Delivery/Customer Success team composed of electrical engineers with experience in renewables energy sources. You will use your managerial skills to lead and coach the team members and guarantee that the team output is at its peak performance.
You will use your engineering skills and experience to ensure that Jungle's solutions have the maximum impact in the operations of our customers, as well as serve as the technical expert and become a go-to when it comes to understand electrical assets.
As our Service Delivery team lead, your mission is to guide the implementation and adoption of Jungle’s flagship product Canopy with our customers.
You will work directly with our customers to help them solve their challenges with Jungle’s products, and get the most value from our AI-based solutions. With the help of Jungle’s in-house tools, you will train, test and deploy Machine Learning models to our customers and help them understand the possibilities and limitations of our products.
Using your technical knowledge, you will help customers understand the results and translate them to hypotheses and actions, ensuring their machines work to the best of their ability, now and in the future.
Who we are
Jungle develops and applies Artificial Intelligence to increase the uptime and performance of renewable energy sources. Built on existing sensors and data streams, the company’s technology enables solar and wind energy owners to squeeze more out of their assets, accelerating the world’s transition to renewable energy sources.
We have productised our services into a web application and are continuously improving it to ensure that our best analyses and visualisations help our users get the maximum energy out of their assets. We operate at a large scale - millions of data points per day - providing always-on predictive models, alarms and metrics visualisations for some of the largest and most sophisticated customers in the global renewable energy space. This is not your average dashboard, we’re talking about intelligently visualising handling large quantities of data to drive performant visualisations and functionality.
Why do we need you?

- You will act as a cross-functional liaison between our customers and both our Product and Applied ML teams, ensuring that our roadmap is aligned with our customers' needs.
- We are building technology to remove as much manual work from our activities as possible. By leading our Service Delivery team you will be providing feedback about our tools to enable Jungle engineers to work more efficiently.
- You will use your analytics skills to develop new KPIs (based on sensor data) that help us track and monitor the impact of our solutions for our customers.
