leadership
You will report to our Chief Technology Officer and will ideally be a hybrid role based out of either our Ridgewood, NJ, NYC, Los Angeles or Oakland, CA offices.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
- Core competency in transformer design, short circuit analysis, grounding schemes, and power systems analysis
- Knowledge of systems controls for all the DERs and how they can be utilized to accomplish specific operating goals while part of the Microgrid.
- Strong knowledge of the various DER power sources within the Microgrid and how they best interface with the utility to provide a more efficient system
- Experience in medium voltage switchgear, including 13.8kV, 23kV, and 34.5kV
- Experience at an engineering/consulting firm is a plus
- BS in Electrical Engineering with a focus on the power side
- Utilize strong technical and communication skills to interface with all aspects of the business, vendors, and customers.
- 10+ years of power systems experience with 3+ years of experience building and leading technical teams, preferably in a high-growth company
- Advanced courses in power or a higher-level degree in the field are preferred
- Demonstrated expertise and understanding of the US power markets, the interconnection process, and requirements
- PE in power and electrical engineering is preferred
- Understanding of relevant building, electrical, civil, etc., codes is a plus
- Thorough technical understanding of distributed energy technologies, including solar, battery, switchgear, and reciprocating engines/turbines
- Understanding of rotating power with reciprocating engines in the 200kW to 5MW size range per engine. This includes parallel operation with the utility bus as well as with other DERs, both in grid parallel mode as well as island mode operations
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to communicate with technical and non-technical people to make projects work
- Understanding of switchgear and relay protective settings (SEL, Beckwith)
