Design resilient power systems and smart infrastructure from the comfort of your home while leading cross-functional teams across continents. We’re scaling sustainable energy solutions and need a forward-thinking Senior Electrical Engineer to turn complex challenges into reliable, code-compliant realities. If you’re ready to elevate performance and mentor the next wave of engineering talent without leaving your remote workspace, this role is built for you.

About the Role

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will own the full lifecycle of electrical design and integration for distributed energy, industrial automation, and smart building projects. Operating in a fully remote environment, you’ll collaborate with global product, controls, and sustainability teams to deliver safe, efficient systems that meet stringent regulatory standards and exceed client expectations. Your technical leadership will guide architecture decisions, ensure seamless interoperability, and future-proof assets as markets rapidly modernize.

We operate with asynchronous-first workflows and deep trust in your expertise to manage priorities, balance trade-offs, and communicate clearly across time zones. From interpreting site constraints to validating energy models, you’ll translate business objectives into robust schematics, detailed specifications, and scalable implementation plans. By embedding reliability into every circuit and algorithm, you’ll help accelerate adoption of clean technologies that benefit communities worldwide.

Core Responsibilities

  • Lead electrical design for power distribution, grounding, lighting, and emergency systems in commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments.
  • Develop one-line diagrams, panel schedules, load analyses, and fault studies using industry-standard tools and best practices.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, civil, and controls engineers to optimize energy performance, power quality, and resilience.
  • Perform code compliance reviews (NEC, IEC, local amendments) and coordinate permitting with authorities having jurisdiction.
  • Mentor junior engineers, conduct peer reviews, and document design rationale to ensure repeatable excellence.
  • Support procurement and vendor technical evaluations for switchgear, transformers, UPS, and renewable integration components.
  • Analyze field issues, root-cause failures, and recommend design improvements to prevent recurrence.

Requirements

Technical Expertise and Experience

We seek a disciplined engineer with a track record of delivering safe, high-performing electrical systems in remote or hybrid settings. You combine deep theoretical knowledge with practical judgment to balance performance, cost, and maintainability. Familiarity with energy modeling, microgrids, and evolving standards for electrification is a strong plus.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field; Professional Engineer (PE) license or progress toward licensure is highly valued.
  • 7+ years of experience in electrical design, power systems, or industrial automation, including remote collaboration on multi-disciplinary projects.
  • Proficiency with electrical design and analysis software (e.g., ETAP, SKM, AutoCAD Electrical, Revit) and data-driven troubleshooting tools.
  • Strong command of NEC, relevant IEC standards, and local code adaptation strategies for diverse project typologies.
  • Demonstrated ability to produce clear specifications, calculation packages, and concise technical narratives for diverse audiences.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills to align distributed teams, consultants, and client stakeholders.
  • Self-motivated with robust time management, capable of thriving in asynchronous workflows with minimal supervision.

Benefits

We invest in your growth, well-being, and long-term impact. Our remote-first culture prioritizes clarity, autonomy, and measurable outcomes over presenteeism, so you can do your best work from anywhere.

Compensation and Security

Salary Range: $110,000 – $150,000 USD/year, commensurate with experience and demonstrated impact. We provide comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage; employer-matched retirement contributions; and paid parental leave to protect what matters most.

Growth and Flexibility

Access an annual learning stipend, structured mentorship, and clear pathways to technical or leadership tracks. Enjoy flexible scheduling, generous PTO, and wellness allowances that support sustained performance and recovery. Equipment and connectivity support ensure you have a professional-grade home workspace.

Purpose and Community

Work on projects that modernize infrastructure, reduce carbon footprints, and improve reliability for end users. Participate in company-wide hack weeks, cross-functional guilds, and volunteer initiatives that amplify your expertise beyond day-to-day deliverables.

Why Remote Works Here

Remote isn’t an afterthought; it’s the engine of our collaboration. We standardize documentation, automate repetitive tasks, and default to transparent communication so you spend time creating value, not chasing status. Ritualized check-ins, clear decision logs, and outcome-focused sprints keep momentum strong while honoring personal rhythms and time zones.

By eliminating long commutes and geographic constraints, we attract top talent who prioritize results and craftsmanship. You’ll join a culture that rewards curiosity, respectful debate, and measurable progress, all while advancing systems that power healthier, more resilient communities.
