- Apply time-series, regression, and AI/ML techniques to improve forecast accuracy and reliability.
- Implement advanced forecasting approaches such as LSTM networks and attention mechanisms where appropriate.
- Process and analyze smart-meter data, including data cleaning, missing-data handling, outlier detection, and aggregation.
- Map load data spatially across relevant network assets, including substations and feeders.
- Incorporate external demand drivers such as temperature, humidity, holidays, weekends, and economic indicators.
- Develop probabilistic forecasts and stochastic scenarios to assess forecasting uncertainty and future demand risks.
- Evaluate the impact of solar, EVs, energy storage, and other DERs on load patterns and network demand.
- Establish appropriate forecasting benchmarks and validation methods to assess model performance.
- Collaborate with engineering, data science, and software teams to integrate forecasting models into distribution-grid planning and analytical applications.
- Translate engineering requirements into forecasting methodologies and computational models.

Required Qualifications
