Electrical Engineer - Microgrid Systems

Overview

Serve as Engineer of Record (EOR) for complete microgrid system designs, owning the detailed, multidisciplinary electrical engineering that integrates PV generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS), backup/standby generators, MV/LV distribution, protection, and controls/SCADA interfaces into a constructible system design. This is a hands-on system integration and design role, not a controls, applications, or product-development position.

What you'll do

• Serve as Engineer of Record for microgrid electrical designs, taking ownership of system-level integration across PV, BESS, generation, and distribution assets.
• Develop detailed electrical design deliverables, including one-line/three-line diagrams, equipment specifications, protection and coordination studies, and interconnection designs.
• Integrate MV/LV distribution design with generation and storage assets, ensuring compliance with utility interconnection requirements and applicable codes/standards.
• Coordinate protection scheme design and controls/SCADA interface requirements across multiple vendors and disciplines (civil, structural, controls, SCADA).
• Lead technical review of EPC and OEM deliverables to ensure compliance with client standards and project performance requirements.
• Interface directly with clients, EPCs, and equipment vendors to resolve design issues and ensure constructability.
• Support permitting, interconnection applications, and utility coordination as needed.
• Participate in and/or lead multidisciplinary design reviews for microgrid and DER projects.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited program, with a focus on power systems.
• 4–8 years of experience in detailed electrical design and system integration for microgrid, distribution, generation, or storage projects.
• Demonstrated experience designing and integrating multiple DER asset types (PV, BESS, generators) into a single electrical system.
• Experience with MV/LV distribution system design, protection coordination, and interconnection design.
• Working knowledge of controls/SCADA interface requirements as they relate to electrical system design.

Nice to have

• EOR-level design experience.
• PE license or ability to obtain PE licensure.
• Experience with VRFB, lithium-ion, or other BESS technologies at the electrical design level.
• Familiarity with reciprocating engine/turbine generator integration.
• Prior EOR role on one or more completed microgrid or DER projects.
• Experience with utility interconnection standards and processes.
