Engineering Manager / Senior Engineer - Solar PV Design

Role Overview We're seeking an Engineering Manager / Senior Design Engineer to lead the technical execution of solar PV projects across the full project lifecycle — from capacity sizing and development engineering through detailed design and technology selection. This role is a key technical contributor delivering high-quality engineering on utility-scale hybrid (solar-plus-storage) projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform PV system sizing and energy yield analysis, including DC/AC ratio optimization, loss modeling, and production estimates
• Lead development-stage engineering, supporting feasibility, site layout, single-line diagrams, and preliminary design for project development teams
• Execute detailed engineering deliverables, including electrical design, string/inverter sizing, equipment specifications, protection schemes, and balance-of-plant integration
• Drive technology selection and evaluation of modules, inverters, trackers, and combiner/MV equipment, including technical due diligence on vendors and OEMs
• Conduct shading, performance ratio, and degradation analysis over project life
• Prepare technical reports, specifications, and documentation, and present findings to clients and internal stakeholders
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers
• Ensure designs comply with relevant codes and standards (NEC, IEEE, UL, IEC, and applicable grid/interconnection requirements)

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical / Power Systems Engineering or related field
• Solid experience in solar PV engineering across sizing, development, and detailed design phases
• Hands-on experience with PV technology selection and vendor evaluation
• Familiarity with energy yield modeling and system performance analysis
• Knowledge of applicable electrical and grid codes (NEC, IEEE, UL, IEC, etc.)
• Proficiency with relevant tools (e.g., PVsyst, PVcase, AutoCAD, Helioscope, PSS®E, or similar)
• Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work independently and manage own deliverables within project timelines
