• Design end-to-end microgrid architectures and produce comprehensive Scopes of Work (SOWs), incorporating protection schemes, controls, and utility interconnection requirements
• Utilize industry-standard modeling platforms (e.g., HOMER, Xendee) to perform techno-economic optimization of microgrid systems and DER portfolios
• Engineer and implement advanced strategies for peak shaving, load shifting, demand response, and supply/demand orchestration to optimize operational performance and reduce demand charges
• Evaluate and optimize DER asset portfolios based on site-specific constraints, including load profiles, space limitations, interconnection capacity, and financial return thresholds
• Conduct site visits and participate in customer meetings to support project development and ensure alignment with technical and operational requirements
• Collaborate directly with customers to define resiliency objectives, including critical load identification, outage scenarios, and backup duration requirements
• Plan and execute engineering activities for RFPs, including technical package preparation, bid evaluation, and support for contract negotiations
• Analyze energy market trends, regulatory frameworks, and incentive structures (e.g., IRA tax credits, state programs) to inform project economics and investment strategy
• Deliver technical presentations and client-facing briefings on grid-edge technologies, clearly articulating system design, economics, and operational value. Ensure completeness and accuracy of technical documentation for external stakeholders
• Support commercial teams by translating technical solutions into clear value propositions aligned with energy security, cost reduction, and ESG objectives
• Review and validate technical proposals and engineering designs, ensuring accuracy in electrical configurations, control systems, and integration with existing infrastructure
• Develop and deliver training programs on microgrid fundamentals, DER integration, and utility interconnection processes for internal and external stakeholders
• Coordinate cross-functional engineering support for high-priority project pursuits, including feasibility studies, bid development, and client deliverables
• Mentor junior engineers in power systems analysis, energy modeling, and DER optimization methodologies
