Job summary

Euclid Power is seeking a seasoned engineer to lead energy yield assessments for utility-scale and distributed PV projects. You will compile meteorological data, develop TMY datasets, and run analyses to deliver bankable yield estimates. Strong PVsyst experience and familiarity with SolarAnywhere, NSRDB, and ERA5 are required.

You will monitor energy metrics for assets, build models, and present results to investors and clients, while managing multiple projects with tight deadlines.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in solar resource assessment, energy yield assessment, performance engineering, or a related field.
• Bachelor’s in Engineering, Atmospheric Science, Physics, Meteorology, Applied Math, Renewable Energy, or related discipline.
• Hands-on PVsyst experience and familiarity with resource datasets like Solargis, SolarAnywhere, Meteonorm, NSRDB, MERRA-2, or ERA5.

Responsibilities

• Perform pre-construction and operational solar resource assessments for utility-scale and distributed PV projects.
• Compile meteorological, satellite-derived, and operational datasets, develop TMY datasets, and run MCP analyses.
• Estimate plant losses, run uncertainty analyses, and develop bankable energy yield estimates in PVsyst and other tools.
• Evaluate project risks, constraints, and performance drivers, including regression-based analyses.
• Lead client engagements end to end, presenting methodologies, assumptions, results, and uncertainties.
• Perform technical review and QC of analyses and reports; improve assessment methodologies.
• Monitor BESS performance and build lifecycle cost and profitability models.
• Develop KPIs and produce monthly/quarterly operating reports; support budgeting and cost forecasting.

Job description

Euclid: Where Projects Take Shape

At Euclid, we’re on a mission to accelerate the world’s transition to renewable energy so that we can decarbonize the planet as fast as possible. We empower renewable energy teams to accomplish in days what typically takes weeks. We care about doing meaningful work, delivering real value and results to our customers. We’re passionate about solving real problems by focusing on what truly matters. We’re passionate about our work, and we’re building products and services that our customers genuinely love and trust. We’re not afraid to think big and be bold, as we’re building not only a future we believe in but a workplace culture that we’re proud to be a part of.

What You’ll Do

Energy Yield Assessment

• Perform pre-construction and operational solar resource and energy yield assessments for utility-scale and distributed PV projects
• Compile and validate meteorological, satellite-derived, and operational datasets, develop TMY datasets, and run MCP analyses and long-term resource adjustments
• Estimate plant losses, run uncertainty analyses, and develop bankable energy yield estimates in PVsyst and other industry-standard tools
• Evaluate project risks, constraints, and performance drivers, including regression-based operational analyses
• Lead client engagements end to end, presenting methodologies, assumptions, results, and uncertainties to clients and investors
• Perform technical review and QC of analyses and reports
• Own and improve parts of our assessment methodology, including calibrating assumptions with operational fleet data

Asset Performance Analytics

• Monitor BESS performance (PR, availability, RTE, inverter availability, degradation) against modeled projections, and work with O&M and LTSA providers to resolve underperformance
• Build lifecycle cost and profitability models for storage assets and identify cost-savings opportunities
• Analyze market data to confirm arbitrage and ancillary services revenue is meeting contractual and financial expectations, and oversee dispatch optimization strategies
• Plan around maintenance and operational events to minimize market penalties and opportunity cost
• Own the analytics behind the fleet’s revenue insurance product, including calculation-period analysis, claim verification, and data validation
• Develop KPIs and produce monthly and quarterly operating reports, review O&M and LTSA provider reports, and update annual tracking models
• Answer ad hoc requests from investors, lenders, regulators, and internal stakeholders, and support budgeting and cost forecasting
• Champion process development and refinement

Who You Are

• 5+ years in solar resource assessment, energy yield assessment, performance engineering, technical advisory, or a related field
• Bachelor’s in Engineering, Atmospheric Science, Physics, Meteorology, Applied Math, Renewable Energy, or a related discipline
• Hands-on PVsyst experience and familiarity with resource datasets like Solargis, SolarAnywhere, Meteonorm, NSRDB, MERRA-2, or ERA5
• Experience with MCP, long-term resource assessment, and statistical evaluation of met data
• Strong grasp of plant losses, uncertainty, degradation, and operational performance drivers
• Experience with performance diagnostics and benchmarking for operating solar and BESS projects
• Familiarity with PPAs, O&M agreements, and LTSAs
• Strong technical writing and presentation skills
• Able to manage multiple projects alongside recurring reporting deadlines
• Willing to provide occasional off-hours support for operating projects

Preferred Qualifications

• Project finance, lender’s technical advisory, IE, M&A, or due diligence experience
• Knowledge of ERCOT market operations and BESS revenue drivers
• Experience with revenue hedges, revenue insurance, or other risk-transfer products
• Python, R, MATLAB, VBA, SQL, or similar for analysis and automation
• GIS or engineering software (ArcGIS, QGIS, AutoCAD)
• Experience building analytical tools, methodologies, or QA processes
• Master’s in a relevant technical discipline
