Sr. Solar Systems Design Engineer

We're looking for a 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
