The Role:

The Electrical Systems Engineer will be responsible for the electrical system level design and analysis of substation interconnect facilities, along with review and revision of commercial and utility plan sets for photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Storage (BESS) system installations and site survey sketches. Plan sets include electrical layouts, one-lines, BOM’s, schematics, structural details, material take-offs, and equipment specifications. Systems include auxiliary power, backup power, fire protection, security, lighting, and communication. They will work closely with customers and other engineering and design team members and contractors to coordinate the overall design packages and requirements and help transition the designs to the field where they will ensure the successful construction and energization of the project.

Responsibilities:

• Will be responsible for entire systems of equipment (HV & MV bus systems, aux system, communication, transmission, panelboards, switchboards, collection systems, etc.) including substation design.
• Technical responsibility for organizing, reviewing, interpreting, researching, executing, coordination, and commenting on project pursuit and design packages by working closely with other engineering and design team members to coordinate overall design packages.
• Is responsible for all aspects of the design including AC/DC one-lines, layout drawings, plan & profile drawings, schematics, design verification, equipment/material & construction specifications, and all associated electrical studies.
• System level electrical (AC & DC) & communication layout design
• Electrical design understanding of power and distribution systems (low, medium and High voltage), emergency/standby generator and UPS Systems, grounding systems (electrical, equipment, safety and isolated), engineering calculations (voltage drop, fault current, load calcs, full or series rating, etc.), electrical code compliance (NEC, ANSI/IEEE, city codes, California codes, etc.)
• Design development & optimization, field construction and installation means & methods
• Developing/contributing detailed design concepts for substation, solar and BESS system design
• Provide long term detailed design, optimization, and constructability support
• Develop, update and use electrical engineering calculation tools to size equipment and material based on project requirements.
• Independent engineering report writing, evaluation
• Plant and substation design reviews
• Reviews of commercial agreements including Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Interconnection Agreements, Service Contracts, Facility Studies
• Work alongside the Business Development, Estimating, and Engineering teams to create preliminary site layouts and single line drawings (DC and AC) for project proposals.
• Provides engineering support for proposals, estimating, procurement and construction.
• Provides technical support to personnel/cross functional teams supporting the assigned project by performing advanced level engineering tasks, calculations, data analysis, and studies as needed to develop preliminary detailed scopes of work on large and small projects.
• Assess the electrical technology and expected use case of the proposed projects to optimize the system design with the optimal technology, material, augmentation, and asset mix

Essential Skills/ Experience:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
• 5 years of electrical engineering designing experience
• 5 years of physical substation design experience
• Renewables experience is a plus!

Perks of the role:

• Industry leading benefits
• Remote work!
• 401k matching and profit sharing!
