Posted last quarter

Worldwide

Summary

We are conducting a long‑term scientific measurement project to analyze the real thermal behavior of a residential building. The goal is to evaluate how the building reacts to heating, cooling, and environmental conditions using multi‑sensor time‑series data (temperature, humidity, heating system behavior, and external climate data). We are looking for a skilled Time‑Series Data Analyst who can clean, structure, and analyze sensor data collected over several months. The work includes identifying patterns, detecting anomalies, calculating thermal response characteristics, and generating clear visualizations and reports. Your responsibilities: Clean and preprocess multi‑sensor time‑series datasets Detect anomalies, missing values, and sensor irregularities Perform statistical and time‑series analysis (correlations, regressions, gradients) Analyze thermal response curves and building dynamics Create clear visualizations (plots, heatmaps, trends) Document findings in a structured, professional format Provide insights that help validate the building’s real thermal performance Required skills: Strong experience with time‑series analysis Python (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib/Seaborn/Plotly) Data cleaning and preprocessing Statistical modeling Signal processing (filters, smoothing, derivatives) Anomaly detection Clear technical documentation and reporting Nice to have: Background in building physics, HVAC, or energy systems Experience with long‑term sensor data Understanding of thermal inertia and building envelope behavior This is a focused, technical project with high scientific relevance. We value clear communication, clean code, and precise analytical thinking.
