Core Responsibilities

Build and maintain techno-economic models and applications to rapidly evaluate the impact of distributed energy solutions — including load management, solar PV, and battery storage — on specific projects

Partner with internal stakeholders and third-party providers to develop and integrate advanced modeling capabilities into existing tools and workflows

Drive cross-functional alignment by educating and enabling internal teams on the workflows required to incorporate energy solutions into site sourcing and development

Define product requirements and conduct deep dives into energy technologies and solutions providers — ensuring utility interconnection, jurisdictional permitting, and regulatory requirements are met

Serve as the Solutions Engineering representative in cross-functional engagements with hardware and software teams, supporting technical integration into Terawatt's technology stack and facilitating smooth handoffs to development, construction, and operations

Apply operational data and field learnings to continuously improve deployed energy solutions and inform future iterations

Contribute to white papers, industry forums, and external engagements that demonstrate Terawatt's domain expertise and leadership in deploying energy solutions to accelerate scalable EV charging for fleets

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Energy Systems, or a related technical field

3–5 years of experience in energy, utilities, cleantech, or a related technical field

Foundational knowledge of the energy industry, including utility rate structures, site load profiles, and the economic modeling of distributed energy solutions

Strong modeling skills in Excel (required) and basic Python proficiency — comfortable leveraging AI tools to code and problem-solve independently

Ability to synthesize complex technical and business information into clear conclusions and actionable recommendations

Demonstrated curiosity and a solutions-oriented mindset — you see ambiguous problems as opportunities, not obstacles

Proven ability to work collaboratively across teams — proactively engaging stakeholders and subject matter experts to build alignment and shared understanding

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications

Advanced degree (Master's) in Engineering, Energy Systems, or a related technical field

Hands-on experience with energy modeling in a professional setting — such as at an energy developer, independent power producer, utility, or strategy consultancy

Experience navigating utility interconnection processes, permitting workflows, or regulatory environments across multiple jurisdictions
