Electrical Engineer, Energy Storage Project Engineering

Lead the electrical front-end scope for assigned early-phase pursuits, coordinating across Business Development, the Product team, and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) engineering and project controls, and serving as Business Development's electrical technical support for scope, cost, schedule, and contract exhibits
Develop concept and preliminary electrical designs — site layouts and single line diagrams — integrating system architecture, inverter and medium-voltage transformer configuration, and DC block arrangement with site constraints
Establish the electrical Basis of Design and design criteria, including AC/DC architecture, medium-voltage collection, grounding and bonding, protection and coordination, metering, and auxiliary and balance-of-plant power
Perform screening-level power system studies such as load flow, short circuit, and protective device coordination to size major equipment, set voltage classes and ratings, and define the study scope for detailed design
Support early utility and grid operator interconnection strategy — identifying viable pathways and timelines from site location, front- or behind-the-meter configuration, and point of interconnection — and deliver electrical feasibility studies that confirm interconnection viability and equipment siting as a go/no-go input
Establish the electrical code and standards basis, document the compliance framework for detailed design, and develop alternative means and methods or performance-based design options in coordination with fire and life-safety requirements
Drive the electrical information-request checklist to closure and deliver the electrical scope and Basis of Design package as the formal handoff to detailed design, including the interconnection path, long-lead item register, and open-items register

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program, or equivalent demonstrated ability; a Master's degree is a plus
A minimum of 8 years in solar, energy storage, or microgrid work, including front-end, conceptual, owner's engineering, or FEED electrical design on utility-scale or industrial battery energy storage projects
Deep understanding of grid-scale energy storage and electrical balance-of-plant equipment — inverters, medium-voltage transformers, switch gear, DC combiners, collection systems, grounding, and protection — and of AC/DC power conversion and medium- and high-voltage systems
Strong knowledge of BESS electrical design, utility and grid operator interconnection requirements, and utility-scale project execution, with the ability to develop preliminary single line diagrams and screening-level studies
Familiarity with relevant codes and standards, including NEC 705 and 706, IEEE 1547, UL 9540, UL 9540A, UL 1973, UL 1741, NFPA 855, and IEC, and the ability to translate them into design criteria and a Basis of Design
Proficiency in design and analysis tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, and ETAP or SKM, with the ability to produce concept layouts and technical exhibits quickly
Professional Engineer (PE) license in Electrical Engineering preferred; project management or EPC experience coordinating multi-disciplinary scopes within architecture/engineering or design engineering firms is a plus
Strong communication skills — verbal, written, and through drawings — with excellent attention to detail and the ability to prioritize and execute in parallel in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
A passion for sustainability and making the world a better place!
