Decarbonization is the process to reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, from entering our atmosphere.
Electrification is the process of replacing fossil fuel appliances that run on gas or oil with all-electric upgrades for a cleaner way to power our lives.

Help Redefine Automation for the Modern Energy Grid
At SPAN, we’re not just building smart panels — we’re engineering the infrastructure for a distributed, intelligent, resilient energy future. That demands zero-compromise validation and automation engineering across firmware, cloud services, hardware, and control logic.
We’re looking for a mid-level automation engineer who builds like a software engineer — someone who thrives on infrastructure-as-code, self-healing test systems, observable pipelines, and scalable developer tools and is ready to lead project-level initiatives and mentor junior teammates.
This is not a QA role. This is systems engineering through the lens of automation.
Architect and evolve a modern, Python-based automation platform that enables deterministic testing for embedded devices and cloud-integrated energy systems.
Drive declarative and event-driven test orchestration using frameworks like Pydantic, Typer, and Click.
Design real-time diagnostics, telemetry, and fault-injection strategies powered by Datadog, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
Integrate deeply into CI/CD systems (Buildkite, GitHub Actions, Docker Compose) and lead optimizations for speed and reliability.
Own embedded-firmware validation pipelines leveraging HITL simulators, CAN bus, and OTA update frameworks (Mender, U-Boot scripting).
Define self-describing test metadata schemas and automate dynamic test generation from manifest files.
Develop code-first interfaces to signal generators, sensors, and power systems — keeping everything modular, reusable, and version-controlled.
Expose metrics-driven insights through APIs and dashboards and champion their adoption across engineering.
Mentor and guide 0-2 year engineers, sharing best practices in Python, test design, and systems thinking.
Python 3.11+, pytestDocker/Compose, Artifactory, OCI registries
GitHub Actions, Buildkite, Terraform, AWS CDK, Ansible
Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Grafana
AWS (S3, EC2, IoT Core, EventBridge), MQTT
Protocol Buffers (betterproto), YAML configuration
UV, Poetry, Black, Flake8, Ruff
CAN bus, PyOCD, PySerial, PyVISA
FastAPI, optional GraphQL exposure
LangChain, OpenAI API, Hugging Face Transformers
FAISS / ChromaDB for embedding search
Time-series anomaly detection integrated with Datadog / Grafana
You design test frameworks like production services — composable, observable, scalable.
You think in invariants, fault domains, and edge cases and communicate that mindset to the team.
You have a strong command of Python, embedded debugging, and cloud observability — and you enjoy teaching others.
You treat automation as a first-class catalyst for engineering velocity and product quality, not a safety net.
You’re motivated by measurable outcomes: reduced MTTR, higher release confidence, and faster developer feedback loops.
Leading contributions to open-source test frameworks or infrastructure tools.
Experience exposing tests via FastAPI or GraphQL.
Expertise in configuration-driven testing and metadata-first pipeline design.
Background in controls, power systems, or signal processing.
Prior mentorship or technical-lead experience in cross-functional teams.
