* Establish clear validation frameworks to ensure models meet required performance standards and business objectives.
* Establish test procedures to validate models with real and simulated grid data.
* Analyze model performance against real-world data to ensure accuracy, reliability, and scalability.
* Identify and address discrepancies between expected and actual model behavior, providing actionable insights to improve model performance.
* Implement automated testing strategies and pipelines to streamline model validation processes.
* Collaborate with Data Engineers and ML Engineers to improve data quality, enhance model performance, and ensure efficient deployment of validated models.
* Ensure that validation processes adhere to data governance policies and industry standards.
* Communicate validation results, insights, and recommendations clearly to stakeholders, including product managers and leadership teams.
Must-Have Requirements
* PhD, Master’s, or Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with hands-on experience in model validation.
* Proven experience in the energy, smart infrastructure, or industrial automation sectors, with deep expertise in system protection, automation, monitoring, and diagnostics, typically acquired through a minimum of 5 years within a multinational manufacturing company. Solid experience in validating AI/ML models, ensuring they meet business and technical requirements.
* Strong knowledge of statistical techniques, model performance metrics, and validation methodologies for AI/ML models.
* Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, or MATLAB.
* Experience with data wrangling, feature engineering, and preparing datasets for model validation.
* Familiarity with machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn) and model evaluation techniques.
* Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and deployment of models in cloud environments.
* Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or similar to effectively present validation results and insights.
Nice-to-Have Requirements
* Familiarity with big data tools and technologies, such as Hadoop, Kafka, and Spark.
* Familiarity with data governance frameworks and validation standards in the energy sector.
