Sr. Solar Systems Design Engineer

We're looking for a Sr. Solar System Design Engineer with at least 5 years of experience to help lead the design and engineering of solar storage systems for commercial and industrial sites. This is your chance to make a real impact in the renewable energy space, working on technically complex projects with cutting-edge tech like Tesla Megapacks and advanced inverters.

This is more than a design role—it's a growth opportunity. If you’re a high performer who can lead cross-functional projects and communicate clearly across teams, there’s potential for advancement into a leadership position.

What You’ll Do:

• Conduct site walks and evaluate feasibility for PV ESS projects
• Gather and analyze site data (electrical, structural, environmental)
• Lead detailed system designs: site plans, SLDs, conduit schedules, interconnection packages
• Use tools like PVSyst, Helioscope, HOMER, and SAM for system modeling and performance estimates
• Ensure all designs meet NEC, CEC, UL, IEEE, and utility-specific standards
• Coordinate with project managers, utility reps, permitting bodies, 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 processes

What You Bring:

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 5 years of hands-on experience designing solar PV and ESS systems
• Proficient in AutoCAD, PVSyst, and developing one-line diagrams
• Familiar with DC/AC coupled systems and energy storage integration (Tesla, Fluence, PCS, etc.)
• Strong understanding of NEC 690/705/706, UL 1741-SA, IEEE 1547
• Knowledge of 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
