Participate in the power supply in Switzerland 

Since May 2025, Swissgrid’s Balancing Energy Autopilot has been live, autonomously securing the stability of the Swiss power grid through high-performance, cost-efficient energy procurement. As the first European transmission system operator to run such a system, we’ve moved past the proof-of-concept phase – we are now in the business of continuous high-performance optimization. 

Your time is split equally between hands-on product engineering and building the AI harness to elevate both our delivery speed and code quality. 

1. Optimization of the Autopilot Performance (50%) 

• You work on the heart of Swissgrid: Machine Learning models and optimization problems that power our autopilot. Your task isn’t just maintaining but pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in live operation. 

• Your work has massive impact: we move fast, iterate quickly within short cycles, and deploy features that have a million-euro impact on the Swiss energy system. 

• You blend Data Science, ML, and Software Engineering to ensure the autopilot remains efficient and reliable. 

2. Agentic AI & Next-Gen Engineering (50%) 

• Evolving the Software Lifecycle: Build and improve our closed-loop agentic architectures that take engineering challenges from high-level specifications to verified solutions. 

• Bridging Upstream & Downstream: Drive implementations that sharpen requirements upfront, paired with early prototypes of self-healing loops that detect and resolve operational friction across delivery pipelines. 

This is how you make the difference   

We are seeking a "Builder" who is creative enough to experiment and disciplined enough to deliver production-grade results. 

• Education: Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, AI, or a related field. 

• Tech Skills: Strong proficiency in Python and Software Engineering is a must. A solid foundation in Machine Learning is an advantage. 

• Mindset: You love the speed of "vibe coding" and rapid prototyping, but you understand that in critical infrastructure, the final details must be rock solid. 

• AI Passion: You are an AI enthusiast who keeps up with the latest trends and is eager to share that knowledge to enable others. 

• Impact-Driven: You want to see your work directly affecting the stability of a whole country’s power supply. 

Above all, we value curiosity and a growth mindset. If you’re ready to tackle complex challenges in an interdisciplinary and fun environment, we want to hear from you!
