VIE Technologies Inc. Controller Remote · Full time Company website

Apply for Controller

VIE Technologies is revolutionizing how critical energy infrastructure is monitored and maintained. We have developed the industry's first non-invasive, AI-powered predictive maintenance solution for electrical transformers — the backbone of the power grid, oil and gas facilities, data centers, and industrial operations. Our proprietary IoT sensor installs in minutes directly on the outside of any transformer without opening, modifying, or powering down the equipment. Continuously capturing triaxial vibration, temperature, and electrical stress data, our platform detects electrical, mechanical, and thermal failure signatures weeks or months before traditional methods or human operators ever could. By replacing reactive, time-based maintenance with proactive, condition-based intelligence, VIE Technologies helps electric utilities, renewable energy producers, oil and gas operators, data centers, and large industrial electricity consumers maximize uptime, minimize risk, and increase profitability. Backed by leading energy investors including Energy Impact Partners, VIE Technologies is a high-growth venture poised to transform the $500B+ global transformer maintenance market.
