Requisition ID# 166099 Job Category: Engineering / Science Job Level: Manager/Principal Business Unit: Electric Engineering Work Type: Hybrid Job Location: Oakland Department Overview The System Performance, Reliability and Resiliency Strategy team within the overall Electric Transmission and Distribution Engineering organization is responsible for planning, organizing, and managing the resources necessary to successfully execute PG&E's Electric Reliability Strategy and initiatives. This team of forward-thinking individuals is tasked with deploying the technology and infrastructure to achieve the company's reliability goals. The team is responsible for implementing programs required to modernize the electric grid, allowing for safe, resilient, and efficient operations. Position Summary The role will be part of a technically focused, cross-functional team of engineers and data scientists to design and deploy advanced models that measure and predict the resilience and reliability of PG&E's electric grid. This role sits at the convergence of grid planning, real-time operations, and applied data science, leveraging high-resolution data from sources such as synchro phasors, SCADA, load flow studies, stability analyses, and asset health systems. This position will build and leverage statistical and machine learning models-such as probabilistic risk models, time series forecasting, anomaly detection, and graph-based system analytics-leveraging data from synchro phasors (PMUs), SCADA, load flow simulations, dynamic stability studies, and asset condition monitoring. These tools will assess outage risks at both the grid-wide and individual critical customer level, delivering real-time and long-horizon insights into system vulnerabilities and performance under climate stressors and high-impact events. This is a rare opportunity to lead a founding team that fuses domain expertise, big data, and AI/ML methods to help architect the climate-resilient, intelligent electric grid of the future. This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and your assigned location based on business need. PG&E is providing the salary range that the company in good faith believes it might pay for this position at the time of the job posting. This compensation range is specific to the locality of the job. The actual salary paid to an individual will be based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to, specific skills, education, licenses or certifications, experience, market value, geographic location, and internal equity. Although we estimate the successful candidate hired into this role will be placed towards the middle or entry point of the range, the decision will be made on a case-by-case basis related to these factors. Bay Minimum: $151,000 This job is also eligible to participate in PG&E's discretionary incentive compensation programs. Job Responsibilities
