• Technical knowledge, including Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Renewable Energy, Green Energy.
• Active Professional Engineer license in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. Ability and willingness to obtain licensure by comity in additional states as project needs require and to serve as Engineer of Record where appropriately licensed.
• Strong design knowledge of low- and medium-voltage systems, switchgear, transformers, grounding, protection and control, inverter-based resources, and grid-connected and islanded operation.
• Working knowledge of the National Electrical Code, applicable NFPA, California Rule 21 and IEEE standards, utility interconnection requirements, and state and local code requirements.
• Experience performing or independently reviewing power-system studies using ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, or equivalent tools.
• Ability to make independent engineering judgments, communicate technical risks clearly, and lead complex issues to closure across functions.
• Experience developing or reviewing technical specifications, drawings, calculations, and design packages and supporting their implementation in the field.
• Must be intuitive and proactive. i.e., think many steps ahead towards the expected outcome and highlight potential risks to the Project Management Team.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to excel in a professional environment with a lot of cross functional collaboration.
• B.S./M.S./Ph.D. in electrical engineering or a related field
• 10+ years relevant work experience with B.S./M.S.
• Relevant experience in power systems engineering, solar, or renewables.
