Description
We are seeking a Renewable Energy Systems Engineer to support our renewable energy systems engineering capability across utility-scale solar, wind, BESS, and hybrid renewable energy projects.
The successful candidate will play a key role in strengthening our renewable energy engineering platform by establishing consistent renewable energy standards, scalable delivery models, and high-quality client outcomes.
Responsibilities:
- Design and model solar PV systems, Wind and BESS for utility-scale, commercial, and microgrid applications using PVsyst, PVcase, and AutoCAD.
- Perform layout optimization, shading analysis, energy yield simulations, and loss assessments.
- Use NREL's SAM or other bankable software for financial modeling, performance forecasting, and system cost-benefit analysis.
- Conduct site assessments, review topographical data, and analyze meteorological datasets.
- Develop and maintain bill of materials (BOM), schematics, and as-built drawings.
- Coordinate with interconnection, civil, and structural teams to ensure complete system integration.
- Support permitting, interconnection applications, and technical documentation for proposals and contracts.
- Develop augmentation optimization models for BESS systems.
- Collaborate with project managers, EPC partners, and other stakeholders to ensure design quality and technical compliance.
- Stay current on codes and standards relevant to solar system design.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 2+ years of experience in solar PV + BESS system design.
- Proficient in AutoCAD, PVcase, PVsyst, and NREL SAM.
- Strong understanding of PV system components, design standards, and layout strategies.
- Strong understanding of BESS system components, design standards, and US fire safety codes.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience working on PV + storage systems or hybrid renewable microgrids.
- Familiarity with civil/site constraints, interconnection guidelines, and permitting processes.
- Exposure to Helioscope, PlantPredict, or similar modeling tools is a plus.
- EIT, PE license, or NABCEP certification is desirable but not required.
