The ideal candidate is someone who naturally steps into technical discussions, can simplify complex electrical and power system concepts, and builds confidence with customers through practical solutions and sound engineering judgment. Success in this role requires: * Strong communication and presentation skills. * Confidence leading technical discussions with customers, utilities, EPC partners, executives, and internal teams. * A systems-thinking mindset that balances technical performance, reliability, schedule, constructability, and commercial objectives. * Ownership of technical decisions and solution strategy. * The ability to evaluate challenges quickly, develop practical recommendations, and build customer trust. This role is ideal for engineers who want to grow as technical leaders, trusted advisors, and customer-facing solution experts., * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or related field. * Strong knowledge of low-voltage and medium-voltage power systems, generation systems, and electrical distribution. * Experience developing and interpreting electrical system diagrams, including single-line diagrams and power system layouts. * Ability to evaluate technical challenges from a systems perspective and translate requirements into practical engineering solutions. * Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities. * Excellent verbal and written communication skills. * Ability to effectively engage both technical and non-technical audiences. * Ability to work collaboratively across multiple disciplines and functions. * Physical requirements and working conditions: Must possess mobility to work in a standard office setting and to use standard office equipment, including a computer, stamina to maintain attention to detail despite interruptions, strength to lift and carry files weighing up to 20 pounds; vision to read printed materials and a computer screen, and hearing and speech to communicate in person and over the telephone/computer., * 4+ years (preferred) of experience in power systems, distributed generation, microgrids, or related fields. * Experience with power system studies such as load flow, short circuit, or reliability analysis. * Familiarity with power system modeling tools (e.g., ETAP, PSCAD, PSS/E, MATLAB/Simulink). * Experience with electrical equipment design and layout, including switchgear and interconnection systems. * Understanding of protection schemes, relaying concepts, and system coordination. * Proficiency with AutoCAD or similar design tools. * Experience supporting technical proposals, bids, or customer-facing engineering efforts. * Familiarity with RFP processes and working within defined commercial and technical constraints. * Exposure to utility interconnection, distributed energy resources (DER), or grid services. ## Description The Solutions Engineer serves as the technical lead for customer-facing power generation and microgrid solutions, owning system architecture, technical scope, and solution development from early customer engagement through project handoff. This role combines strong electrical engineering fundamentals with customer consultation, technical leadership, and business strategy. Solutions Engineers work directly with customers to understand operational challenges, develop practical solutions, and communicate complex power system concepts in a clear and actionable way. This is not a traditional design engineering role focused primarily on calculations, drafting, or detailed design packages. Instead, Solutions Engineers serve as trusted technical advisors, balancing reliability, performance, constructability, schedule, and commercial objectives to deliver executable solutions. We're looking for engineers who enjoy leading technical discussions, solving complex problems, and serving as the technical leader in the room., * Lead development of microgrid and distributed generation solutions for customer proposals, including system architecture, equipment sizing, and technical scope. * Develop electrical system designs, including single-line diagrams, layouts, and medium/low voltage system configurations. * Perform and support power system evaluations (load, capacity, reliability) to inform design decisions. * Serve as the primary technical interface with customers, leading discussions, whiteboarding sessions, and presentations. * Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, EPC, R&D, and product teams to develop optimized, executable solutions. * Prepare and communicate technical content for proposals, including drawings, narratives, and supporting documentation. * Evaluate design tradeoffs across cost, performance, constructability, and schedule. * Participate in site visits and customer engagements to validate design assumptions. * Conduct peer reviews to ensure quality and consistency of technical designs and estimates, * Direct customer engagement and ownership of technical solutions - not just back-end design. * Work on mission-critical infrastructure with real-world impact on customers and the grid. * Exposure to the full lifecycle: concept - proposal - execution. * Highly collaborative environment with access to cross-functional technical teams. * Opportunity to develop both deep technical expertise and strong commercial/strategic engineering skills. * Exposure to large-scale, real-world energy infrastructure projects. * Career growth across engineering, commercial, and technical leadership paths. * Collaborative, engineering-driven culture with high visibility and impact. ## Related Videos - [Engineering/Manager Pendulum: Generating compound interest on your career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100348-engineering-manager-pendulum-generating-compound-interest-on-your-career) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [WebAssembly Revolution: Elevating JavaScript's Reach and Performance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1149-webassembly-revolution-elevating-javascript-s-reach-and-performance) - [The QUEST for Better Software](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/721-the-quest-for-better-software) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) ## Related Articles - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [How Engineering Hubs Build Visibility at Developer Conferences like WeAreDevelopers World Congress](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/720-how-engineering-hubs-build-visibility-at-developer-conferences-like-wearedevelopers-world-congress) - [Top Characteristics of a Software Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/166-top-characteristics-of-a-software-engineer)
