What You’ll Do

You’ll lead solar resource and energy yield assessments and own performance analytics for operating solar and BESS projects.

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

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

• Remote work, forever!
• Competitive benchmarked compensation
• Health and retirement benefits
• Flexible time off
• Exciting, mission‑driven work that has impact
• Regular company off‑sites
