What is a variant analyst?

A Variant Analyst is a professional who analyzes genetic variations in DNA sequences to identify mutations associated with diseases or traits. They interpret sequencing data, use bioinformatics tools, and contribute to clinical or research-based genetic analyses. Their work helps in diagnosing genetic disorders, guiding treatment decisions, and advancing precision medicine.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a variant analyst?

A Variant Analyst typically spends their day analyzing genetic sequencing data to identify, classify, and interpret genetic variants of clinical or research significance. They utilize specialized bioinformatics software to process raw data, review scientific literature for evidence supporting variant classification, and document their findings in detailed reports. Collaboration is common, as analysts often work closely with laboratory geneticists, clinicians, and other members of a multidisciplinary team to ensure accurate and relevant results. Staying updated with the latest guidelines and advances in genomics is also an important part of the role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the variant analyst position?

To thrive as a Variant Analyst, you need a solid background in genetics or molecular biology, experience in data analysis, and a relevant bachelor's or advanced degree. Familiarity with bioinformatics tools such as Variant Call Format (VCF) analysis software, genomic databases, and proficiency in scripting languages like Python or R is highly valued, as is certification in clinical genetics or genomics. Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication skills distinguish top candidates in this field. These skills and qualities ensure accurate variant interpretation, effective cross-functional collaboration, and meaningful contributions to diagnostics or research.

Job description

Description
POSITION DESCRIPTION:
We are looking for a Sr. Technical Analyst to join the Team AVL Tech SMEs sub-pod within EnFin's Offering Development organization to serve as the deep-domain technical authority for all photovoltaic modules and racking / mounting systems on the EnFin Approved Vendor List (AVL). The ideal candidate will have experience in residential solar with broad coverage of the PV module and roof-mount racking vendor landscape and will work closely with the Sr. Technical Analyst BESS/Inverter , the AVL Integrations Engineer, the AVL Project Management sub-pod, Team IRA, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Field Operations, and the Qcells in-house module organization. Note: Qcells manufactures modules but does not produce racking, so racking coverage is exclusively third-party while Qcells module readiness across variant breadth is a primary internal-alignment responsibility.
This position will be based out of our San Francisco, CA office with an in-office schedule set at the direct manager's discretion in accordance with the company policies and procedures. Remote may be considered in exceptional cases. Travel up to 25%.
RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Own technical evaluation, OEM qualification, technical onboarding, and annual AVL technical refresh for modules (Qcells Q.PEAK / Q.TRON families, REC, Panasonic, LG, Silfab, Mission Solar, Jinko, Trina, Canadian Solar, Longi, JA Solar, Maxeon/SunPower) and racking systems (IronRidge, Unirac, SnapNrack, Pegasus, QuickMount PV, EcoFasten, Roof Tech, S-5!, K2 Systems, Schletter); lead technical scoring on RFPs and report quality and reliability trends at QBRs.
  • Own the accuracy of module and racking records in the Airtable AVL golden record - setpoints, datasheet parameters, structural ratings, certifications - and audit third-party design tool libraries (Aurora, Solargraf, Solo, OpenSolar) for accurate product representation; partner with the AVL Integrations Engineer on schema mapping into Salesforce Master Equipment.
  • Define authoritative technical parameters for each approved module (Pmax, Voc, Isc, temperature coefficients, NOCT, degradation curves, UL 61730 / IEC 61215, fire class, hail rating) and structural parameters for each racking system (ASCE 7 wind/snow ratings, PE-stamped engineering by state, supported roof types, span tables, UL 2703 grounding/bonding, attachment / flashing compatibility); maintain module + racking + attachment + flashing compatibility matrices.
  • Run pre-launch AVL readiness reviews on the full Qcells module portfolio and its many variants - Q.PEAK DUO and Q.TRON families, power-class binning's, all-black vs silver-frame variants, modules paired with the Qcells Q.MI microinverter (directly integrated or attached to the module backside), and successor platforms; coordinate readiness milestones with the Qcells module organization.
  • Attend pilot installations, support O&M escalations and RMAs (leak claims, racking corrosion, module glass / cell failures), and conduct failure-mode analysis; deliver technical training to internal teams and external TPO partners.
  • Author and maintain the AVL requirements documents for PV module and racking products on the AVL Hub - defining the technical, certification, structural, and compatibility bar (UL 61730, UL 2703, IEC 61215, ASCE 7, NEC, IBC / IRC, interconnection) that OEMs must clear for approval. Curate the virtual data room in Airtable that holds OEM-submitted compliance records, certification artifacts, structural / PE-stamped engineering coverage by jurisdiction, and supporting documentation for products applying to and approved on the AVL; ensure records are complete, current, and auditable for AVL governance, AHJ inquiries, and FMV / capital markets reviews.
  • Author tech memos, install guides, integration diagrams, and troubleshooting guides as source content for the AVL Hub knowledge base; partner with the AVL Project Management sub-pod on packaging and distribution.
  • Provide product-domain technical input to Team IRA on DCA / FEOC / Safe Harbor / IRA §45Y / §48E matters (Team IRA owns the policy-compliance evidence); supply technical traceability artifacts to Strategy, Finance, and Capital Markets when FMV models are challenged or audited.
  • Partner with the Product & Commercial Strategy Manager on joint decisions: AVL add/retire calls, vendor QBRs, buy-vs-partner decisions for Qcells in-house products, and setpoint accuracy through to FMV.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, structural, or civil engineering, or related technical field; or equivalent experience / licensing including a minimum of 8+ years of professional experience including 5+ years directly relevant to this role and 2-3+ years in solar.
  • Demonstrated breadth and depth across the residential and small-commercial PV module and roof-mount racking vendor landscape - fluent in competitive positioning, failure modes, and installation of differentiators.
  • Hands-on working knowledge of at least two PV / storage modeling platforms (Aurora Solar, Solargraf, Solo, OpenSolar, PVsyst, SAM, HelioScope) including how module and racking libraries are structured.
  • Strong grasp of module datasheet parameters, degradation and loss factors, racking structural setpoints (ASCE 7, span tables, attachment patterns), and modeling assumptions that drive production estimates.
  • Working proficiency with Salesforce and Airtable - or demonstrated ability to become proficient quickly.
  • In-depth knowledge of regulatory requirements: NEC, IBC / IRC, ASCE 7, UL 61730, UL 2703, interconnection processes.
  • Strong written and verbal communication and professional presence; this role authors technical content that becomes EnFin's source of truth and represents EnFin to OEM partners and external stakeholders.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, manage competing priorities, and deliver results under tight timelines.
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • NABCEP PV Installation Professional, PV Design Specialist, or PV Technical Sales certification.
  • Hands-on PV / racking installation, inspection, or structural review experience.
  • P.E. license or prior work alongside structural PE reviewers for residential and commercial solar.
  • Experience working on or alongside a Smart Quote / design-to-proposal tool, vendor PIM, or equipment master-data program.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted content review, RAG-based knowledge tooling, or MCP integrations.
  • Interest in scalable clean energy solutions and solar business operations.
