Remote Senior Electrical Engineer – United States – Drive Innovation in Renewable Power

Join a forward‑thinking team that designs cutting‑edge electrical systems for clean‑energy projects across the nation. This fully remote role lets you lead complex power‑distribution designs while enjoying the flexibility to work from anywhere in the U.S.

About the Role

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will own the end‑to‑end electrical design lifecycle for utility‑scale solar, wind, and battery storage installations. You will collaborate with project managers, civil engineers, and software developers to deliver code‑compliant, cost‑effective solutions that meet aggressive performance targets. Your expertise will directly influence project feasibility studies, equipment specifications, and construction‑ready documentation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop single‑line diagrams, protective relay settings, and grounding schemes for medium‑voltage (15 kV–34.5 kV) and low‑voltage (480 V–600 V) systems.
• Perform load flow, short‑circuit, and arc‑flash studies using ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or equivalent software.
• Specify transformers, switchgear, inverters, and BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) components, ensuring compliance with NEC, IEEE, and local utility interconnection standards.
• Lead design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and coordinate with EPC contractors during construction and commissioning.
• Prepare and stamp construction‑ready drawing packages for permitting and client delivery.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (M.S. preferred) from an ABET‑accredited program.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in at least one U.S. state; ability to obtain additional state licenses as needed.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in utility‑scale renewable energy or power‑systems engineering.
• Deep proficiency with ETAP, SKM, or CYME for power‑system analysis.
• Strong knowledge of NEC 2023, IEEE 1547, IEEE 519, and relevant UL/IEC standards.

Preferred

• Experience with SCADA/EMS integration and IEC 61850 communication protocols.
• Familiarity with PV‑plant performance modeling (PVsyst, SAM) and BESS sizing optimization.
• Project management certification (PMP or equivalent) and track record of delivering projects on schedule and budget.

Salary Range

$130,000 – $165,000 USD per year (base salary, commensurate with experience and licensure). This range reflects current market data for senior‑level remote electrical engineers in the renewable‑energy sector.

Benefits

• 100 % remote work with a generous home‑office stipend ($2,500 annually).
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents.
• 401(k) with 5 % company match, immediate vesting.
• Professional development budget ($3,000/year) for conferences, certifications, and advanced coursework.
• Unlimited PTO plus 10 paid company holidays.
• Equity grant program for long‑term alignment with company growth.

Culture & Values

Our engineering culture prizes technical rigor, transparent communication, and continuous learning. We operate in small, cross‑functional pods that empower engineers to make architectural decisions quickly. Diversity of thought is celebrated—our team spans multiple time zones, backgrounds, and specialty areas, all united by a mission to accelerate the transition to clean power.

How to Succeed in This Role

• Proactively identify design risks early and propose mitigation strategies that keep projects on track.
• Leverage automation (Python scripting, parametric CAD) to reduce repetitive drafting effort.
• Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of evolving grid codes and emerging storage technologies.
• Build strong relationships with utility interconnection engineers to streamline approval cycles.
