Founding Professional Engineer (Electrical)
Monterra
Most PE roles ask you to draft and stamp drawings, rinse and repeat. This role is different. You’ll draft and stamp drawings, but you’ll also teach an AI how you do it, and work together to build the tools and operating system that makes you (and future engineer colleagues) work 10x faster. The Opportunity Monterra is expanding our business to stand up an AI-native engineering services company. We’re assembling a team of rockstar electrical engineers and building proprietary AI engineering assistants that compress weeks of electrical engineering work into hours. We're starting with electrical engineering, specifically in EV charging, where we already support many contractors and EPCs on site design & development. Whether it’s running load calculations and NEC calculations or drafting panel schedules and permit-ready drawing packages, our goal is to leverage AI to deliver engineering services better, cheaper, faster to clients. We're hiring our Founding Professional Engineer. This isn't a traditional PE role. In addition to delivering engineering services to clients, you'll work closely with our product & software engineering team to encode your expertise into our AI design engine and develop tools that make your (and future colleagues') work 10x faster. In this role, your time will be split between: - Produce and deliver permit-ready drawing packages to clients - SLDs, panel schedules, load calculations, site plans - the same work you'd do at a traditional engineering firm. - Document the logic, rules, and judgement calls that go into every decision, working directly with our product & engineering team as the subject matter expert. You'll also be a core contributor to our product roadmap, helping inform the various tedious workflows that slow you down day-to-day. Our goal is to reimagine how engineering services are delivered and build the next-generation engineering firm, where human engineers and AI engineering assistants work together to reach the quality and speed that have been unimaginable to date. What You'll Do Drawing Production & PE Stamping - Produce permit-ready drawing packages for customers, starting with EV charging projects - site plans, SLDs, panel schedules, load calculations. - Stamp and deliver completed packages to customers, owning the engineering quality and AHJ compliance end-to-end. - Collaborate directly with customers to understand requirements and iterate on designs based on feedback. Engineering Intelligence & Product Subject Matter Expert - As you work, document every design decision, rule-of-thumb, and AHJ-specific requirements - to coach our AI engineering assistant. - Develop standardized templates, symbol libraries, and drawing conventions that become the foundation of our automated output. - Work directly with our product & engineering team to communicate and clarify these rules, requirements, and knowledge. AI Review & Quality Control - Provide feedback and perform QC on the AI engineering assistant - by validating output, testing tools as part of your drawing production workflow, and more. - Maintain a structured correction log - every issue you find gets documented with root cause, code reference, and AHJ context so it feeds back into the system. - Develop playbooks for the AI engineering assistant for different types of projects - e.g., review checklists and quality standards for different project types and jurisdictions. - Scale your throughput - the goal is to increase the number of stamped drawings we can deliver drastically as AI output quality improves and tedious work is effectively handled by the AI assistant. Who You Are You're an engineer who's always been a little frustrated by how slowly the industry adopts better tools. You've stamped plenty of drawing sets, you know what plan checkers look for, and you can size a service entrance in your sleep. But you're also the person who built spreadsheets to automate your own calculations, who thinks about how engineering knowledge could be systematized, and who gets excited about the idea of an AI that amplifies engineers’ productivity. Required - PE license in high-volume EV deployment states (e.g., CA, MA, TX, NY, etc.); willingness to obtain additional state licenses as needed. - 7+ years of electrical design experience, with demonstrated experience producing permit-ready drawing packages (site plans, SLDs, panel schedules, load calculations). - Deep working knowledge of NEC and experience navigating AHJ-specific requirements. - Experience with EV charging infrastructure design (DCFC and/or L2 installations, utility interconnection, load management, light civil & structural design). - Strong verbal and written communication skills: ability to articulate engineering rules to teammates who are not experts in your area of expertise. - Proficient with CAD and BIM tools. - Qualities we value: Intensely curious, Strong team player, Pursuit of excellence, Strong sense of ownership and accountability, Self-starter, Creative problem solver. Comfort & natural knack for toggling between 80/20 & scrappy vs. detail-oriented & perfectionist depending on context. Preferred But Not Required - Familiarity with CAD automation, scripting, or parametric design tools. - Comfort working with AI tools - not because you'll be coding, but because you'll be collaborating with AI systems daily. Compensation & Details - Competitive salary commensurate with experience. - Meaningful early-stage equity - this is the first PE on the team in a team of <10, not employee #50. - Benefits including but not limited to: health, vision, dental insurance, commuter benefits, unlimited PTO, and more. - Remote-first; occasional travel for customer site visits and team gatherings.
