  • Ensure designs comply with applicable codes and standards such as NEC 706, UL 9540, NFPA 855, IEEE 1547, and local AHJ permitting requirements.
  • Model system behavior for performance, lifecycle, and resiliency scenarios using industry tools.
  • Support interconnection efforts by developing utility-compliant designs and interfacing with utility engineers as needed.
  • Collaborate with solar PV engineering teams to optimize hybrid systems and coordinate control strategies.
  • Serve as the internal escalation point for technical challenges related to BESS across projects.
  • Participate in client-facing technical meetings to explain design decisions and system performance expectations.
  • Contribute to technical proposals, project scope development, and preliminary design packages.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of BESS technologies, codes, and industry trends.
  • Conduct technical reviews of peer work to ensure quality and compliance.
  • Assist with field support and site assessments on an as-needed basis.
  • Other tasks as assigned.

  • Demonstrated expertise in BESS design, modeling, interconnection, and compliance with AHJ / utility requirements.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD, modeling tools (e.g., HOMER, PSCAD, ETAP), and control system concepts.
  • Deep understanding of energy storage applications including peak shaving, time-of-use shifting, demand management, and resiliency.
  • Familiarity with microgrid design, including PV+storage+genset configurations and control architectures.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to interface with clients, utilities, and cross-functional engineering teams.
