  • Review construction drawings, single‑line diagrams, and project specifications with guidance from senior engineers.
  • Support basic engineering calculations, including voltage drop, conductor sizing, and system layouts.
  • Help ensure designs align with NEC requirements and internal engineering standards.
  • Maintain engineering documentation and support version control of drawings and design records.
  • Provide technical support to Project Engineering, Sales, Quality, and Production teams.
  • Assist in preparing technical documentation for proposals and customer deliverables.
  • Support value engineering efforts by identifying opportunities for efficiency and standardization.
  • Participate in design reviews and learn best practices related to manufacturability and installation.
  • Work collaboratively with engineering team members and support project execution activities.
  • Coordinate with Production to help ensure designs are clear and buildable.
  • Support quality and documentation activities associated with engineering deliverables.
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives within Engineering.
Work Experience / Education / Skills Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a related technical field (recent graduates encouraged).
  • 0–2 years of engineering, internship, co‑op, or related technical experience.

  • Basic understanding of electrical fundamentals and engineering calculations.
  • Willingness to learn NEC code and utility‑scale solar design principles.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Mandarin language skills are a plus; entry‑level candidates with strong Mandarin and English skills are encouraged to apply.
  • Internship or academic project experience related to solar, power systems, or electrical design.
  • Familiarity with PV systems or renewable energy concepts.
  • Exposure to manufacturing or production environments.
  • Knowledge of AutoCAD, Excel, or other engineering tools.
