Develop, test, and deploy control algorithms
Conduct system functionality testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, and reporting
Provide high‑level technical support for in‑progress projects and operating microgrid systems, including triage and resolution of customer issues
Create studies, reports, specifications, requirements, estimates, electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, and equipment layouts
Balance hands‑on project execution with continuous improvement of project processes, standards, and quality
Partner cross‑functionally with Controls Engineering, Service, Commissioning, and Sales teams to deliver strong customer outcomes
Mentor and support team members through technical guidance, knowledge sharing, and collaboration
