Job Description

Solar Design Engineer

LCR

• The Solar Design Engineer is responsible for the electrical and mechanical design of commercial and utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. • This role supports projects from early-stage site evaluation through issued-for-construction (IFC) design, ensuring systems are optimized for performance, constructability, safety, and regulatory compliance. • Develop electrical and mechanical designs for commercial and utility-scale solar PV systems. • Produce and review wiring diagrams, one-lines, grounding plans, and electrical schematics. • Design mounting layouts and coordinate mechanical integration of racking and structural components. • Perform system sizing, energy modeling, and performance analysis. • Utilize AutoCAD, MicroStation, and other CAD tools to produce accurate design drawings. • Apply MATLAB or similar analytical tools for system modeling and performance evaluation. • Use GIS tools for site assessment, layout optimization, and environmental considerations. • Collaborate with construction, project management, procurement, and permitting teams to ensure constructible designs. • Support construction teams with design clarifications and field issue resolution. • Coordinate with utilities, AHJs, and third-party engineers as required. • Ensure designs comply with applicable electrical codes (NEC), utility requirements, and industry standards. • Incorporate best practices related to safety, constructability, and long-term system reliability. • Support permitting and interconnection documentation.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong understanding of electrical engineering principles applicable to solar PV systems
  • Working knowledge of mechanical design related to mounting structures and system integration
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or MicroStation; experience with MATLAB preferred
  • Familiarity with GIS tools and site analysis methods
  • Understanding of construction practices related to solar installations
  • Knowledge of systems engineering approaches to optimize performance and reliability
  • Experience with commercial or utility-scale solar projects preferred
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple design tasks simultaneously
  • Effective communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.

Benefits
