  • Performance Analysis: Interpret and analyze site data, production metrics, and customer needs to optimize solar designs for both energy yield and financial performance.
  • Compliance & Documentation: Ensure designs adhere to NEC, local AHJ requirements, utility interconnection guidelines, and internal quality control processes. Prepare full permit and construction document packages.
  • Lifecycle Support: Contribute to design revisions and system optimizations during development, construction, and commissioning phases to resolve real-world constraints and opportunities.

  • Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and excellent verbal and written communication skills.
