- Use Monte Carlo simulations and other statistical techniques to build probabilistic forecasts across varying time horizons

- Collaborate with the data science team to integrate scenario generation into physics-based and AI grid models

- Evaluation, quantifying, and monitoring performance of scenario generation in terms of coverage, accuracy, and variability

- Analyze variable sensitivities and their influence on forecast outputs

- Interface with business stakeholders to understand critical use cases and define modeling parameters accordingly
