Crash Simulation Engineer Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Portland, Oregon (preferred), or Bend, Oregon (for the right candidate)

Elexity is disrupting the C&I energy storage and building energy management market. Our whole-building EMS platform is a new approach to controlling, managing, and optimizing energy in commercial buildings. We uniquely pair traditional energy storage with predictive load control technology to significantly reduce demand charges and time-based energy costs, maximize on-site solar, provide a more reliable backup solution, and enable customers to participate in grid services programs. Elexity is a critical enabler of the energy transition. We unlock energy value from C&I buildings with intelligent energy control, delivering on the promise of a dynamic, flexible, and renewable grid. We are a growth-stage, venture-funded company.

• You love getting things done
• You want to leave customers feeling delighted
• You want to build the operational backbone of an early stage disrupter, not inherit one
• You want to design processes and tools, not just execute someone else’s
• You want to make a significant contribution to the energy transition

In support of business development and product development, the Senior Energy Analyst will:

• Deliver economic analysis, including savings reports, to customers.
• Analyze expected savings at prospective sites for customers and partners.
• Defend results in presentations to the management team.
• Research and model site economics, operating strategies, and enrollment procedures for demand response programs in multiple markets.
• Specify improvements to our utility tariff analysis engine.
• Specify improvements to our control algorithms.
• Run site simulations of different hardware configurations, control strategies, load control programs, and tariff choices.

In this cross‑functional, high‑impact role, you will get a crash course in renewable energy, load flexibility, and the future of the grid. If you want to grow your career and help prepare our energy system for a 100% renewable grid, this position is for you.

• Quantitative understanding of energy economics and energy systems
• Bachelor’s degree required (energy systems, engineering, economics, data science, statistics, operations research, mathematics, or similar)
• Minimum 5 years of experience in data analysis and data visualization in Python; you wake up wondering what new tricks you can make pandas dataframes and matplotlib do
• SQL skills are a plus
• Strong economics and time‑series analysis experience required. You will be modeling complex utility tariffs beginning in Week 1, so that should appeal to you.
• Strong written, oral, and presentation communication skills
• Must be comfortable in a customer‑facing role
• Strong sense of ownership, urgency, and drive
• Familiarity with modeling behind‑the‑meter energy projects is a plus
• Familiarity with solar energy, energy storage, building controls, commercial electric rates, demand response, virtual power plants (VPPs), and utilities are all major pluses

• Portland, Oregon (preferred), Bend, Oregon (for the right candidate)
• Stock compensation
• Medical, dental, vision, 401k and competitive PTO
