Sr. Technical Analyst

POSITION DESCRIPTION

We are looking for a Sr. Technical Analyst to join the Team AVL Tech SMEs sub-pod within EnFin's Offering Development organization to serve as the deep-domain technical authority for all photovoltaic modules and racking / mounting systems on the EnFin Approved Vendor List (AVL). The ideal candidate will have experience in residential solar with broad coverage of the PV module and roof-mount racking vendor landscape and will work closely with the Sr.

Technical Analyst BESS/Inverter, the AVL Integrations Engineer, the AVL Project Management sub-pod, Team IRA, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Field Operations, and the Qcells in-house module organization.

Note:

Qcells manufactures modules but does not produce racking, so racking coverage is exclusively third‑party while Qcell module readiness across variant breadth is a primary internal‑alignment responsibility.

This position will be based out of our San Francisco, CA office with an in‑office schedule set at the direct manager’s discretion in accordance with the company policies and procedures. Remote may be considered in exceptional cases. Travel up to 25%.

• Own technical evaluation, OEM qualification, technical onboarding, and annual AVL technical refresh for modules (Qcells Q.PEAK / Q.TRON families, REC, Panasonic, LG, Silfab, Mission Solar, Jinko, Trina, Canadian Solar, Longi, JA Solar, Maxeon/Sun Power) and racking systems (Iron Ridge, Unirac, Snap Nrack, Pegasus, Quick Mount PV, Eco Fasten, Roof Tech, S‑5!, K2 Systems, Schletter); lead technical scoring on RFPs and report quality and reliability trends at QBRs.
• Own the accuracy of module and racking records in the Airtable AVL golden record — setpoints, datasheet parameters, structural ratings, certifications — and audit third‑party design tool libraries (Aurora, Solargraf, Solo, Open Solar) for accurate product representation; partner with the AVL Integrations Engineer on schema mapping into Salesforce Master Equipment.
• Define authoritative technical parameters for each approved module (Pmax, Voc, Isc, temperature coefficients, NOCT, degradation curves, UL 61730 / IEC 61215, fire class, hail rating) and structural parameters for each racking system (ASCE 7 wind/snow ratings, PE‑stamped engineering by state, supported roof types, span tables, UL 2703 grounding/bonding, attachment / flashing compatibility); maintain module + racking + attachment + flashing compatibility matrices.
• Run pre‑launch AVL readiness reviews on the full Qcells module portfolio and its many variants — Q.PEAK DUO and Q.TRON families, power‑class binning's, all‑black vs silver‑frame variants, modules paired with the Qcells Q.MI microinverter (directly integrated or attached to the module backside), and successor platforms; coordinate readiness milestones with the Qcells module organization.
• Attend pilot installations, support O&M escalations and RMAs (leak claims, racking corrosion, module glass / cell failures), and conduct failure‑mode analysis; deliver technical training to internal teams and external TPO partners.
• Author and maintain the AVL requirements documents for PV module and racking products on the AVL Hub — defining the technical, certification, structural, and compatibility bar (UL 61730, UL 2703, IEC 61215, ASCE 7, NEC, IBC / IRC, interconnection) that OEMs must clear for approval. Curate the virtual data room in Airtable that holds OEM‑submitted compliance records, certification artifacts, structural / PE‑stamped engineering coverage by jurisdiction, and supporting documentation for products applying to and approved on the AVL;
  
  ensure records are complete, current, and auditable for AVL governance, AHJ inquiries, and FMV / capital markets reviews.
• Author tech memos, install guides, integration diagrams, and troubleshooting guides as source content for the AVL Hub knowledge base; partner with the AVL Project Management sub‑pod on packaging and distribution.
• Provide product‑domain technical input to Team IRA on DCA / FEOC / Safe Harbor / IRA §45Y / §48E matters (Team IRA owns the policy‑compliance evidence); supply technical traceability artifacts to Strategy, Finance, and…
