Electrical Design Engineer

Role Overview

• Assist senior engineers in preparing electrical system layouts, single-line diagrams, string sizing calculations, conduit and cable schedules, and other design deliverables for utility-scale solar projects.
• Research electrical components (modules, inverters, conductors, protection devices, etc.) and assist in the selection process based on specifications and code requirements.
• Perform basic electrical calculations (i.e., voltage drop, fault current, system sizing, etc.), and analyze electrical data to support design decisions.
• The primary focus will be developing 30% designs to service as the basis for our business development and estimating efforts.
• Create and modify detailed electrical engineering drawings using AutoCAD Electrical, PVsyst, or similar design software.
• Research and stay current on local, state, and federal civil engineering and solar development regulations.
• Participate in design reviews and collaborate effectively with other engineering disciplines and project teams.
• Assist in the preparation of technical reports, calculations, and specifications.
• Maintenance of accurate project documentation, including design revision/iteration history.

Requirements

• 2-3 years experience within Utility Scale Solar (preferred) or Commercial Solar
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution.
• EIT (Engineer in Training) certification or on track to obtain it.
• Demonstrated proficiency in civil design software (AutoCAD is a must), SAM Models (preferred), PVcase, PVsyst, ETAP preferred, PV or similar).
• Basic understanding of electrical engineering principles, including AC/DC circuits, power distribution, and grounding/bonding
• Basic knowledge of applicable building codes, engineering principles, and industry best practices
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to work efectively both independently and within a team environment.
• Commitment to safety
• Strong sense of urgency, with strong org skills.

Benefits

• Employees (and their families) are eligible for medical, dental, vision, basic life and disability insurance.
