Licensed Electrical Engineer - Battery Storage, PV Solar Energy (34415)
BESS Electrical Engineer
Location: San Francisco, CA
Compensation:
$130,000 – $190,000 (depending on experience)
About The Company:
A rapidly growing clean‑energy organization is building a localized battery supply chain that integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling of critical minerals. We are seeking a Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Electrical Engineer to join our team.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead electrical engineering efforts for utility‑scale lithium‑ion BESS projects from concept (system sizing, layout) through construction.
Interface with utilities and ISO/RTOs to support interconnection studies, permitting, and compliance.
Serve as internal subject‑matter expert (SME) for BESS‑related technical challenges.
Design AC/DC electrical systems including transformers, inverters, combiners, and battery modules.
Develop schematic diagrams, single‑line diagrams, wiring schematics, grounding, and protection strategies.
Specify and evaluate electrical components (breakers, contactors, fuses, EPO systems, meters).
Coordinate with civil, structural, SCADA, fire/life safety, and DC system teams for complete IFC packages.
Ensure compliance with NEC 705, NEC 706, IEEE 1547, UL 9540, NFPA 855, and local codes.
Support grid integration and interconnection with renewable and conventional sources.
Conduct power system studies (short circuit, load flow, arc flash, coordination).
Act as the Electrical Engineer of Record on assigned projects.
Stay current on BESS technologies, codes, and trends.
Lead R&D initiatives on integrating BESS with MVDC distribution.
Provide construction administration support (RFIs, submittals, site inspections).
Track scope, schedule, and budget across stakeholders.
Prepare cost estimates and schedules; perform QA/QC reviews and mentor junior engineers.
Contribute to internal design standards, templates, and best practices.
Desired Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET‑accredited program.
Professional Engineer (PE) license in Nevada or eligible via reciprocity (must obtain NV and SC PE within 2 months).
5+ years of experience in solar, energy storage, or microgrids; 3+ years in BESS design/deployment.
Expertise in interconnection and regulatory compliance for BESS systems.
Advanced knowledge of NEC 705/706, IEEE 1547, UL 9540, NFPA 855.
Proficiency in:
Microgrid modeling (HOMER or similar)
Power system modeling (ETAP, SKM, or similar)
AutoCAD/Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam, Microsoft Office
Preferred familiarity with:
PSSE/PSLF, PSCAD/EMTC
SEL AcSELerator or equivalent
HVDC and converter station design
Strong understanding of storage use cases (peak shaving, load shifting, demand/frequency response).
Highly motivated, detail‑oriented, and effective communicator.
