Product Development Engineering

Position Overview MUST HAVE BESS EXPERIENCE We are seeking a dynamic leader to provide technical and commercial expertise for utility-scale solar PV, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and hybrid PV+BESS projects. This role bridges engineering, financial analysis, vendor management, and stakeholder engagement to ensure projects are designed, procured, and delivered with both technical rigor and commercial value. Key Responsibilities Lead technical and commercial decision-making for PV, BESS, and hybrid projects, balancing system performance with financial outcomes. Develop and maintain CAPEX/OPEX models for PV and storage scopes, documenting assumptions, sensitivities, and risk margins. Build and manage financial models (LCOS, NPV, IRR, payback, sensitivity/scenario analysis) to evaluate technologies and configurations. Prepare vendor bid packages, scorecards, and evaluations for PV (modules, inverters, trackers, BOS) and BESS (cells, racks, PCS/inverters, BMS, thermal systems). Design and optimize hybrid architectures (AC- and DC-coupled), accounting for inverter clipping, curtailment, interconnection, and control strategies. Convert PV performance data (generation, losses, degradation) into inputs for BESS sizing, dispatch optimization, and revenue forecasting. Quantify and commercialize revenue streams (arbitrage, capacity, ancillary services, reserves, curtailment mitigation, T&D deferral) and recommend optimal value stacking. Lead technical and commercial discussions with offtakers, landowners, and permitting authorities , producing agendas, decision logs, and follow-up materials. Act as the primary technical-commercial liaison in stakeholder negotiations, translating performance and risk into contract terms, PPAs, and mitigation strategies. Facilitate site meetings, hearings, and permitting consultations , presenting clear summaries of impacts, mitigations, and community benefits. Coordinate cross-functional teams (development, legal, engineering, construction, environmental, commercial) to ensure commitments are actionable and reflected in contracts. Monitor market, technology, and regulatory trends in PV and storage, recommending emerging solutions or risk mitigations. Deliver concise reports and presentations that outline tradeoffs, recommended solutions, and financial impacts for both internal and external stakeholders.
