  About Gridware

  Gridware is a San Francisco-based technology company dedicated to protecting and enhancing the electrical grid. We pioneered a groundbreaking new class of grid management called active grid response (AGR), focused on monitoring the electrical, physical, and environmental aspects of the grid that affect reliability and safety. Gridware's advanced Active Grid Response platform uses high-precision sensors to detect potential issues early, enabling proactive maintenance and fault mitigation. This comprehensive approach helps improve safety, reduce outages, and ensure the grid operates efficiently. The company is backed by climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors. For more information, please visit www.Gridware.io .

  Team Overview

  The Hardware Engineering team is responsible for designing and testing all of our devices, from mechanicals and electronics to the firmware and protocols they run. Our devices save lives, but doing this means supporting a diverse set of continuously-sampling sensors and we need tens of thousands of units to run super-reliably for 10 years in extremely challenging environments, ranging from snowy mountain tops to forests and deserts.
