## Description

in front of hyperscalers, colocation providers, and AIDC developers. You will be the primary technical owner for these fast paced large loads opportunities. This role requires a blend of high-level conceptual design, sharp understanding of economic dispatch and value stacking of energy storage solutions applied to BTM customers, and sophisticated stakeholder management to move projects toward a successful Final Investment Decision. This position will report to the Director of Preconstruction and will be based in Portland, OR, with a hybrid work schedule.Key Responsibilities:

 * Engineering & Design (Conceptual to 30%)
 + Develop hybrid system designs (storage + generation) with controls and dispatch strategy.
 + Progress to 30% design packages, including site layouts, single-line diagrams, and civil, structural, and electrical site plans. Ready project for handover at FID to construction team.
 + Lead the technical components of RFI/RFPs for large loads. Determine optimal system configurations, sizing, and the Bill of Materials (BOM) including BESS, PCS, and Medium Voltage (MV) transformers.
 + Support modeling and grid simulations to demonstrate project specific solutions for use-cases such as load smoothing, voltage ride-through, frequency support, and grid-forming.
 + Develop technical bulletins, case studies, and other related internal and external-facing technical documentation.
 * Strategy and Value Proposition
 + Be the technical interface with large load customers
 + Define strategies (which type of offtakes to target) for large load/data center applications including transient for load smoothing, frequency/voltage ride through and other applicable modes.
 + Support build-out and preparing of techno-economic models optimizing revenue, capex, opex and technical design constraints
 * Cross-Functional Collaboration
 + Partner directly with the VP of Business Development and T&I Director to draft and execute technical exhibits for offtake agreements.
