Physical Systems Modeling Engineer

About the role

ABOUT GRIDCARE

GridCARE is the pioneer of Power Acceleration — a new category solving the most critical constraint in AI's growth trajectory: immediate access to power. As demand for computing skyrockets, access to energy has become the defining bottleneck in the AI infrastructure race. While leading tech companies invest billions in speculative, long-term solutions that may take decades to arrive, GridCARE's Energize™ platform uses physics-based AI to identify and activate gigawatts of hidden capacity in today's electric grid — enabling hyperscalers, data center developers, and utilities to power AI infrastructure years sooner than conventional approaches and without costly upgrades.

Founded at Stanford's Doerr School of Sustainability, GridCARE has assembled a world-class team spanning power systems, AI, and infrastructure, and is backed by leading climate-tech and deep-tech investors.

At GridCARE, you will:

⚡ Work at the intersection of AI, energy, and infrastructure — the foundation of the next industrial revolution.

🤝 Partner with hyperscalers, developers, and utilities on high-impact, real-world deployments.

🌎 Help shape a more abundant, efficient, and resilient energy future for the digital era.

🚀 Join a company defining a new category — Power Acceleration for AI.

💰 Receive competitive compensation, equity, and benefits in a fast-growth, mission-driven environment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a quantitative engineer to help build the models at the core of how GridCARE understands data center power: how facilities consume energy today, and how that consumption will evolve over time. In this role, you will develop simulation and forecasting models for existing and future data centers and the components inside data centers that will be used to support planning decisions across the full horizon, from intraday operations to multi-year infrastructure development. The goal is not simply to predict future demand, but to build models that can generate realistic future operating scenarios under a wide range of assumptions and conditions.
