Engineer-Level 3 – BESS Engineering & Digital Tools

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to join a BESS engineering team supporting utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System and inverter-based resource projects. The successful candidate will provide core electrical engineering support while helping modernize and scale engineering workflows through automation, internal software tools, and AI-assisted development.

The ideal candidate will be a strong electrical engineer with experience across power systems, electrical equipment, design deliverables, and project execution. They should also be comfortable translating engineering processes into practical Python-based tools and web applications using AI-enabled development platforms such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Devin, or similar technologies.

Electrical Engineering & BESS Design

• Review one-line diagrams, equipment specifications, electrical calculations, design drawings, and technical studies for utility-scale BESS and inverter-based resource projects.
• Support engineering activities involving batteries, power conversion systems, inverters, transformers, switchgear, cables, grounding, protection, controls, and auxiliary power systems.
• Apply electrical engineering fundamentals to equipment sizing, system configuration, power-flow requirements, short-circuit considerations, voltage drop, cable ampacity, reactive power capability, and related design decisions.
• Support the resolution of electrical design, equipment, construction, commissioning, and operational issues.
• Perform or guide root-cause analyses for equipment failures, design deficiencies, and system performance issues.

Engineering Tool Development & AI Enablement

• Identify repetitive, manual, or inconsistent engineering workflows that can be improved through automation or internal software tools.
• Develop and maintain engineering applications, calculation tools, data-validation utilities, dashboards, and workflow automation using common programming languages and AI-assisted development tools.
• Create tools supporting design reviews, equipment comparisons, engineering calculations, data quality checks, document generation, requirements tracking, and project decision-making.
• Use platforms such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Devin, or similar technologies to accelerate software development, testing, documentation, and maintenance.
• Validate software-generated engineering results against accepted calculations, engineering standards, and sound engineering judgment.
• Establish appropriate documentation, testing, version-control, and change-management practices for internally developed tools.
• Collaborate with engineers and project stakeholders to define requirements and support adoption of new tools.
• Help establish responsible practices for using AI in engineering workflows, including technical validation, data handling, cybersecurity, and human review.

Required / Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of engineering experience in power, energy, data center, or industrial infrastructure projects.
• Strong understanding of power system fundamentals, including one-line diagrams, protection and controls, grounding, arc flash, and interconnection.
• Experience reviewing and coordinating engineering deliverables with external design firms or Engineers of Record (EORs).
• Experience with utility-scale BESS, inverter-based resources, or related power infrastructure is highly desirable.
• Experience developing engineering tools, calculations, dashboards, or automation using Python or similar programming languages.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted software development platforms such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Devin, or similar tools.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and technical documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment while collaborating effectively with engineering and project teams.
