Off-Grid Power Systems Engineer (PV/BESS)

TAR; Town of Texas, Northern (WI, KY); Híbrido; USD 90.000 - 130.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

TAR is building off-grid PV, storage, and power-conversion plants to power data centers with renewable technologies. As Technology Solutions Engineer, you will shepherd technologies from vendor conversations to field deployment, owning technical specs and architecture while collaborating with design, procurement, and project teams to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.

You will evaluate vendor offerings, develop system architectures, write RFPs, model performance, and lead testing to ensure

Formación

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required.
• MS in Electrical Engineering with focus on power systems preferred.
• 2-3 years of PV and/or BESS engineering experience.
• Working knowledge of power electronics, inverter/topologies, and protection behavior.
• LV and MV design experience including single-line diagrams and grounding.
• Familiarity with NEC, IEEE 1547/2800, UL 1741/9540, NFPA 855.
• Proficiency with modeling tools (PVsyst, ETAP, PSCAD, MATLAB/Simulink, Python).
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to explain tradeoffs to engineers, vendors, leadership.
• Willingness to travel to vendor facilities and project sites; able to work from Austin or SF.

Responsabilidades

• Evaluate PV, BESS, inverter, and power conversion technologies from established and emerging vendors, benchmarking performance, efficiency, reliability, cost, and bankability to deliver clear recommendations on what TAR deploys.
• Develop system architectures and conceptual designs for PV-plus-storage plants, including DC and AC block configurations, LV and MV collection, single-line diagrams, and grounding concepts, built for the reliability demands of off-grid data center loads.
• Write technical specifications, RFP technical scope, and evaluation criteria for modules, batteries, PCS and inverters, transformers, and MV switchgear, and lead technical review of vendor proposals, submittals, and deviations.
• Model and validate system performance, including energy yield, equipment sizing, protection philosophy and code compliance of new systems.
• Analyze power electronics behavior, including inverter controls, grid-forming operation, harmonics, transient response, and protection coordination, and translate findings into equipment and system requirements for islanded operation.
• Lead factory acceptance testing, pilot deployments, and field validation of new technologies, and feed results back into specifications and standard designs.
• Own the technical relationship with equipment manufacturers, resolving integration issues quickly and pushing vendor products and roadmaps toward TAR's requirements.
• Build and maintain technology roadmaps, reference designs, and equipment standards for Power Systems so every project starts from proven, qualified building blocks.
