  • Lead detailed system designs, including site plans, SLDs, conduit schedules, and interconnection packages.

  • Use tools like PVSyst, Helioscope, HOMER, and SAM for modeling and performance estimates.

  • Ensure designs meet NEC, CEC, UL, IEEE, and utility standards.

  • Coordinate with project managers, utilities, permitting authorities, and construction teams.

  • Support permitting, interconnection, and commissioning activities.

  • Set and refine internal CAD standards; oversee drafting workflows.

  • Drive continuous improvement of design templates and engineering processes.

Required Qualifications

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field.

  • 5+ years of experience designing solar PV and energy storage systems.

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, PVSyst, and one-line diagram development.

  • Familiarity with DC/AC coupled systems and energy storage integration (Tesla, Fluence, PCS, etc.).

  • Strong knowledge of NEC 690/705/706, UL 1741-SA, IEEE 1547.

  • Experience with IOU interconnection processes (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, etc.).

  • Excellent documentation and communication skills.

  • EIT or NABCEP certification a plus.

  • 1+ year of team leadership or mentoring experience preferred.

What is so special about our client?

  • They work on high-profile, innovative renewable energy projects.

  • Collaborate with a forward-thinking, mission-driven engineering team.

  • Opportunity for career advancement into leadership.

  • Competitive salary, full benefits, and professional growth support.
