Systems Engineer u2013 Utility-Scale Solar Electrical Design

Job Summary

The Systems Engineer Utility Scale Solar Electrical Design will be responsible for the electrical design, standardization, and technical evaluation of utility-scale solar PV projects for Enerparc India. The role involves developing optimized solar plant designs, supporting technical due diligence, evaluating key electrical components, and coordinating with cross-functional teams during project development and execution.

This role is primarily focused on utility-scale solar engineering. As Enerparc continues expanding into hybrid and energy storage projects, selected candidates will also have the opportunity to be trained and upskilled in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and advanced hybrid plant integration

Key Responsibilities:

1. Design & Engineering

• Develop and maintain standardized system designs for PV and BESS including SLDs, layouts, and control philosophies.
  
• Perform technical assessment and component sizing for PV modules, inverters, batteries, and PCS.
  
• Support system integration studies, including AC/DC coupling configurations, control logics, and operational modes.
  
• Prepare and review tendering specifications, employer requirements, and design packages for Solar, BESS components and hybrid systems.
  
• Conduct energy yield assessments (PVsyst), loss analysis, and design optimization to support commercial and pre-bid teams.
  
• Review and validate electrical studies including load flow, short-circuit, and protection coordination.
  
• Coordinate with grid interconnection and protection teams for compliance with CEA, IEC, and IEEE standards.
  
  2. Vendor Evaluation & Technical Qualification
  

  • Lead technical evaluation and qualification of solar and BESS component vendors.
    
  • Review test reports, certifications (IEC, UL, IS), and field performance data.
    
  • Participate in factory and site inspections (FAT/SAT) and ensure compliance with design and quality requirements.
    
    3. Technical Analysis & Support
    

    • Conduct Solar and BESS techno-economic studies, evaluating performance, sizing, and lifetime degradation.
      
    • Review and benchmark OEM proposals for performance, safety, and reliability.
      
    • Support troubleshooting and post-commissioning technical investigations.
      
      4. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
      

      • Work closely with Pre-Bid, D&E, Quality, and Procurement teams for design alignment and cost optimization.
        
      • Continuously update design standards based on new inverter and BESS technologies.
        
      • Provide training and knowledge sharing within the engineering function on hybrid and storage systems.
