Brooksource is searching for an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Specialist optimization to join our Fortune 500 Energy & Utilities client in Charlotte, NC. The successful candidate will leverage strong experience in meta-heuristic algorithms and Python-based optimization to support advanced grid investment planning at scale. This role will focus on designing and prototyping adaptive optimization models that handle complex, non-linear, and combinatorial planning challenges with real-world constraints.

As an integral part of the AI delivery team, you will help develop and deploy next-generation optimization tools using techniques such as Genetic Algorithms and Harmony Search, tailored for evolving business and regulatory landscapes.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and implement meta-heuristic optimization models in Python for grid investment planning.

Prototype and evaluate algorithms like Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Harmony Search to solve large-scale, non-linear, constrained optimization problems.

Incorporate real-world constraints such as enablement, capacity thresholds, and evolving business priorities into optimization logic.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand investment criteria, shifting priorities, and regulatory mandates.

Ensure models are adaptable and scalable, enabling flexibility for new constraints without re-architecting core logic.
