- Resolve complex system-level issues beyond standard electrification and collaborate with local authorities to ensure compliance with federal, state, and municipal codes.
- Review performance metrics and proactively identify improved data sources and mechanisms related to cost per charger (CPC) and regional deployment goals.
- Collaborate with commissioning teams to test and validate installation, operation, and performance of electrical systems.
- Develop clear technical narratives and present recommendations to support infrastructure tradeoff decisions, including time-versus-cost considerations.
- Travel to project sites for reviews, engineering evaluations, electrical system audits, and startup support as needed.
- Contribute to a collaborative team culture and bring creative, out-of-the-box solutions to engineering challenges.
Basic Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or 2+ years of relevant electrical design experience.

- Experience researching new designs and technologies related to contaminated subgrade and/or fire suppression systems for EV infrastructure.
