Optimization Research Scientist

About the Company

To reach Net Zero, the U.S. needs 400 gigawatts of grid-scale energy storage by 2050, requiring over $1 trillion dollars in investment. Tierra Climate is at the forefront of this transformation. We are a team of dealmakers, operators, and dreamers building innovative solutions to maximize the decarbonization potential of grid-scale energy storage. As a trusted partner to some of the world’s largest companies, we manage the complexities of operating energy storage for both economic and environmental impact. With leadership roles across various corporate sustainability bodies, including the Energy Storage Solutions Consortium (ESSC) and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, Tierra Climate is foundational in redefining energy storage as a force for planetary good.
