X is Alphabet’s moonshot factory. We are a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Our goal: 10x impact on the world’s most intractable problems, not just 10% improvement. We approach projects that have the aspiration and riskiness of research with the speed and ambition of a startup.
The Team:
We are a team working to rapidly decarbonize the electric grid. Our mission is to help create a shared understanding of what is happening on the grid for everyone who is involved in building, managing and using it.

How you will make 10x Impact:
- Lead product-related efforts associated with electric grid data visualization, model management, and vehicle-based sensor solutions (e.g. solutions to enable data-related insights while improving the quality, recency, and accuracy of power grid-related data) in both the transmission and distribution domains.
- Provide thought-leadership internally and externally.
- Drive and own strategic programs that are large and complex, span multiple organizations, and have a direct measurable business impact on what are often product areas or company-level OKRs.
- Set strategy and objectives, drive organizational change, and solve problems holistically independent of organizational boundaries.
- Propose, design, develop, and evaluate software and analytics-based solutions (e.g., ML-based, cloud-based, etc.) to meet customers' needs.
- Work with a team of engineers, scientists, product managers, and grid operators to transition prototypes into production.
- Engage closely with existing and prospective partners on new technologies that transform how the grid is planned and operated.
- Explore the energy technology landscape and quickly evaluate ideas and concepts.
What you should have:
- BS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, Statistics, or equivalent practical experience.
- Demonstrable product management experience in either electric grid solutions or industrial / vehicle-based sensors.
- Ability to execute and iterate quickly with ever-changing problem sets and environments.
It’d be great if you also had these:
- Research or industry experience in ML systems, cloud computing, mobile sensor platforms, or IoT-based projects.
- Solid problem solving and cross-team communication skills.
- Knowledge of recent developments in energy-related technologies such as microgrids, battery storage, industrial internet of things, or inverters.
- Knowledge of electric-grid modeling and/or challenges in grid-related data.
- Interest in sustainability and/or product management in a startup-like environment.
