Job description

Position: Solar Design Engineer – Ground Mount & BESS

Location: Gujarat (Rajkot / Site-based with office work)

Experience: 4–8 years

Employment Type: Full-time (In-house)

🔧 About Us

Rocket Solar (Weagle Impex Group) is building premium, future-ready solar power projects with a strong focus on clean layouts, long-term performance, and scalable design philosophy.

We work across Ground-Mounted Solar Parks, Captive/Open Access Projects, and upcoming BESS solutions.

🎯 Role Objective

The Solar Design Engineer will own the complete technical design lifecycle of solar projects — from concept to execution support — and will act as the design backbone of Rocket Power.

🧩 Key Responsibilities

1️⃣ Concept & Detailed Design

• Prepare concept layouts for ground-mounted solar plants (0.5 MW to 10+ MW)
• Design DC & AC system architecture (DC/AC ratio optimisation)
• Inverter selection & string sizing (Solis / Sungrow / String & Central)
• Layout planning: inverter placement, internal roads, drainage, washing paths
• Structure design coordination (fixed tilt / seasonal tilt / SAT)

2️⃣ Electrical Engineering

• DC string design, cable sizing, voltage drop calculations
• AC side design: LT panels, transformers, RMU, HT panels
• 11kV / 33kV evacuation planning (single & double circuit)
• Earthing & lightning protection system design as per IEC / IS standards

3️⃣ Simulation & Performance

• PVsyst simulations (CUF, losses, degradation assumptions)
• Generation modelling aligned with Gujarat RE Policy & GERC rules
• Support generation guarantees & client techno-commercial discussions

4️⃣ Documentation & Approvals

• AutoCAD drawings: GA, SLD, cable routing, earthing layouts
• Discom submission drawings & coordination
• Support statutory approvals and audits

5️⃣ Execution & Coordination

• Coordinate with:
• Project execution team
• Structure vendors
• Inverter & module suppliers
• Provide site-level design clarifications during execution
• Ensure design intent is maintained on ground

6️⃣ Future Readiness

• Support BESS integration (Launching Soon)
• Standardise Rocket Power design templates & checklists
• Build a design playbook for repeatable premium projects

🧠 Required Skills & Tools

• AutoCAD – Mandatory
• PVsyst – Mandatory
• Strong understanding of:
• Ground mount EPC design
• Gujarat Renewable Energy Policy
• IEC / IS electrical standards
• Practical exposure to:
• ≥5 MW cumulative ground-mounted projects
• 11kV evacuation systems
• Excel-based calculations & reports

🎓 Qualifications

• B.E / B.Tech in Electrical Engineering (preferred)
• Diploma candidates with strong EPC experience may be considered

🌟 What We’re Looking For

• Ownership mindset (not a drawing operator)
• Design clarity & logic
• Interest in premium, long-life solar assets
• Ability to think beyond “standard EPC jugaad designs”

💰 Compensation

• ₹8 – ₹10 LPA (based on experience & capability)
• Performance-based growth
• Long-term role with leadership exposure

🚀 Why Join Rocket Solar?

• Direct founder interaction
• High-visibility projects
• Freedom to design future-ready solar plants
• Opportunity to grow Head / Technical Lead

Apply with:

• Resume + sample drawings / PVsyst reports (if available)
