NextEra Energy
What You’ll Do
Lead short-cycle, hypothesis-driven experiments to test and validate new ideas. Design, prototype, and evaluate emerging technologies, tools, and business models. Translate ambiguous, high-potential opportunities into validated concepts for scale. Collaborate across disciplines to explore new markets, methods, and energy solutions. Use sound judgment to balance exploration with business constraints. Mentor engineers and researchers, fostering a culture of curiosity, humility, and responsibility. Represent the R&D team internally and externally through thought leadership, publications, and partnerships.
What We Value
Explore Boldly : See around corners, chase emerging trends, and learn through iteration. Build Responsibly : Operate with initiative and independence, but know when to pull others in. Work with Judgment : Use common sense, break through blockers, and focus on impact. Embrace the Mindset : Thrive in ambiguity, value humility, and collaborate without ego.
Qualifications
Advanced degree or work experience in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Applied Math, or related field. Experience in research and development, with proven leadership in innovative projects. Strong expertise in one or more areas relevant to clean energy and analytics (e.g., AI / ML, optimization, power systems, advanced simulation, renewable integration). Track record of impactful prototypes and successful product launches. Demonstrated ability to work in high-trust, high-autonomy teams. Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Why Join Us
Be part of a team that explores at the edges of what’s possible in clean energy. High-trust, high-autonomy culture where innovation thrives. Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.
