Project Engineer – Greentech PV Solutions

Siemens is hiring a Project Engineer to support its PV Inverter Engineering Team within the Greentech Engineering Group. The role leads utility-scale photovoltaic inverter projects from contract award through commissioning, coordinating technical execution, customer engagement, engineering deliverables, and system integration.

Responsibilities:

• Leading photovoltaic inverter projects end-to-end, from contract award through commissioning, ensuring alignment with customer requirements and specifications
• Drive project execution, ensure technical excellence across every phase, and become a trusted point of contact for customers and cross-functional teams alike
• Managing engineering deliverables, including multi-stage drawing submittals, technical reviews, and maintaining accurate project documentation
• Configuring and integrating inverter and control systems, including parameter programming and coordination of communication protocols such as Modbus
• Acting as the technical project lead, collaborating across engineering, sales, procurement, manufacturing, and quality teams to drive execution and resolve issues proactively
• Engaging directly with customers to clarify requirements, present technical solutions, and manage expectations throughout the project lifecycle
• Maintaining high standards of process execution, including purchase requisitions, documentation, testing records, and project closeout
• Creating and maintaining engineering documentation such as single-line diagrams, control schematics, bills of material, and configuration records to ensure traceability and quality
• Supporting broader initiatives as experience grows, including pre-award engineering, mentoring junior team members, and contributing to process improvements and strategic projects

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (or equivalent field)
• 3+ years of experience supporting utility-scale photovoltaic systems, string inverters, energy storage, or commercial solar engineering projects
• Experience with SCADA systems design, configuration, or system integration in energy or infrastructure environments
• Experience with inverter controls, testing, and industrial communication protocols, including Modbus RTU/TCP
• Technical proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, and RFP documentation
• Understanding of utility-scale PV system architecture, 3-phase string inverter (Virtual Central) configurations, and grid interconnection requirements
• Hands-on experience with SCADA integration and industrial communication protocols, including Modbus protocol configuration and troubleshooting. This includes parameter mapping, register configuration, and communication diagnostics between inverter systems and utility SCADA platforms
• Familiarity with North American (UL) and/or European regulatory standards for grid-interactive inverters
• Master's degree
• AutoCAD, Visio, or equivalent CAD/drafting experience
• Proficiency with Siemens engineering and project management tools (or demonstrated ability to learn new platforms quickly)
• Experience with ERP systems (SAP preferred) for purchase orders, BOMs, and order acknowledgements
• Advanced SCADA and controls experience, including DNP3, IEC 61850, or other industrial communication protocols beyond Modbus
• Exposure to OEM inverter parameter programming, SCADA integration fieldwork, or commissioning on PV installations
• Exposure to utility substations, generation assets, or large-scale infrastructure projects
• Multilingual capabilities (Spanish/German a plus)
• Experience transitioning from SCADA/controls roles into renewable energy systems integration
• Detail-oriented and disciplined, committed to accuracy, documentation rigor, and on-time delivery
• A go-getter attitude and genuine willingness to learn; comfort stepping up to support when the team is stretched, with a bias toward action and problem-solving
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, comfortable interacting with customers, OEM partners, and cross-functional internal teams at all levels
