Growing MISO as an AI leader, staying current on the latest advancements in AI and share insights with teammates and stakeholders, influencing how emerging technologies are adopted across the organization.
Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of data scientists, data engineers, and software engineers to produce AI solutions, helping bring emerging technologies into a mission-critical energy environment.

Skills needed for our AI Engineer include:

A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Data Analytics or related field.
Proficiency with AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) for real-time prototyping from natural language inputs.
Hands-on experience working with prompt engineering - building Retrieval-Augmented Generations (RAG) pipelines or experimenting with agent frameworks.
Strong programming skills in Python and R (including libraries like scikit-learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow for machine learning development).
Hands-on experience developing and building scalable APIs (REST; gRPC).
Experience integrating AI/LLM tools such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or Anthropic APIs into applications
Familiarity with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and deploying applications in containerized environments (Docker; Kubernetes awareness).

Appropriate level will be determined based upon experience and knowledge.

Transformative innovation is happening in the electric industry, from digitalizing homes and distributed resources to renewable energy and an ever-changing grid. MISO manages the electricity superhighway in the Central U.S. and through use of groundbreaking research and advanced technology, our highly skilled employees ensure power flows reliably to 45 million Americans. Operating the electricity grid, running a robust energy market, planning for a bright future - it's what our immensely hardworking and dedicated team does every day.
