Join Tesla Energy as a Senior PV Project Development Engineer, where you'll design utility-scale solar and energy storage solutions. Your work will influence the feasibility of multi-megawatt projects, requiring technical expertise and collaboration with cross-functional teams to drive growth in the solar market.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 5-6 years of experience in utility-scale solar project development, EPC, or owner's engineering
• Expert-level proficiency in PVsyst and HelioScope or RatedPower for energy yield modeling and site layout optimization
• Working knowledge of ETAP or SKM PowerTools for preliminary power flow, short-circuit, and arc flash analysis
• Hands-on experience with interconnection applications and preliminary interconnection studies
• Strong understanding of PV system fundamentals: module/inverter technologies, tracker systems, DC/AC architectures, and performance modeling
• Knowledge of hybrid solar and storage system design, including DC and AC coupling strategies
• Experience with preliminary cost estimation and value engineering during the pre-construction phase
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple concurrent feasibility studies
• Excellent communication skills, capable of presenting technical findings to non-technical stakeholders

• Design and optimize utility-scale PV plant layouts using industry-leading tools
• Specify and configure PV module/inverter/string architectures, evaluate tracker vs. fixed-tilt systems
• Perform preliminary energy yield modeling and loss analysis using PVsyst, HelioScope, or RatedPower
• Develop high-level electrical single-line diagrams and MV collection system plans
• Design conceptual integration schemes for solar and battery energy storage systems
• Prepare technical documentation and preliminary studies for interconnection applications
• Lead quick-turnaround, bankable feasibility assessments for early-stage projects
• Partner with business development, sales, finance, and construction/deployment teams
• Identify technical and regulatory risks in early-stage designs and propose mitigation strategies
• Stay current on emerging PV technologies and mentor junior engineers
