Transmission Planning Engineer

The Company

Nira is a software company with a mission of accelerating the integration of large-scale

renewable energy projects. Developers of solar, wind, and energy storage projects use

Nira’s software to find the best locations to site their projects and help manage them

through the queue. Nira’s software products simplify complex and niche electrical

engineering concepts that would otherwise lead most renewable energy projects to be

cancelled after significant investment.

In less than five years, Nira has solidified a track record of success a with a growing,

and profitable, 25+ employee company. They’ve established an extremely reputable

brand and have a rapidly growing customer base. The opportunity to join such an early

stage, yet risk-reduced, software company in growth mode is a rare opportunity.

The Job

Nira is hiring Transmission Planning Engineers to join the product team comprised of

half planning engineers and half software engineers. In this role, you’ll work with other

planning engineers and software engineers to build products that help renewable

developers put together successful project portfolios. Specifically, you’ll:

• Focus on deepening and expanding your transmission planning and generator

interconnection studies subject matter expertise.

• Work with software engineers and product managers to codify your domain

knowledge into Nira’s software products’ backend.

• Support the full product life cycle including product ideation, research and

development, coding, sales support, customer support, and product

maintenance.

Who We’re Looking For

This could be a great fit if:

• You have experience with generation interconnection related studies. You

have 2+ years of hands on experience with tools like TARA, PSS/E, Power

World, Python, etc.; and you already have a sense of what data renewable

developers need to build a portfolio of successful projects.

• You’re motivated by having ownership in your work. You take initiative on

projects and have a strong preference to be a trailblazer. Or when the "trail" is

given to you, you are motivated to challenge it and ensure it's the best trail every

step of the way.

• You’re ready to roll up your sleeves for the team, and no task is beneath

you. Sometimes the work isn’t always sexy, but you’re down to do it anyway if it

means advancing the mission and providing value to our customers.

• You want to level up your software engineering skills. The power of Nira

comes from codifying our transmission planning knowledge! You’ll work directly

with an extremely talented group of software engineers to create products. If you

like to code, this is the highest value opportunity in the space to grow this skillset.

• You’re low ego. You may have strong opinions, but you hold them loosely. You

challenge your instincts, are data driven, and aren’t scared to be wrong. You

seek to find the best solutions for our customers even if it runs counter to your

initial thinking.

Why Nira?

Nira is a mission-oriented company that places a strong emphasis on a positive work

culture. They have built a world class team of software engineers and transmission

planning engineers, and you'll be working amongst a team of all stars.

The company is growing exponentially, and the opportunity for professional growth is

huge. The organization is flat, the leadership is transparent, and you get full exposure to

seeing what it takes to go from 0 to 1 with product development and business in

general.

This is also an opportunity to get equity in an early-stage startup with rare momentum.
