  • Design mounting layouts and coordinate mechanical integration of racking and structural components.
  • Perform system sizing, energy modeling, and performance analysis.
  • Software & Technical Tools
  • 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.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination
  • 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.


Compliance & Standards

  • 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.
