Qualifications
Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical field and bring at least five years of experience in power generation technologies—including gas turbines, reciprocating engines, battery storage, solar, or wind. Demonstrated ability to translate technical features into customer value is essential. Experience in lifecycle cost modeling, energy market analysis, and cross-functional collaboration is required. The role demands strong analytical, communication, and critical thinking skills, with frequent domestic and international travel—approximately 50% of time spent on-site with clients.
Preferred Background
A Master’s degree in engineering, energy systems, or a related discipline is preferred.
Technical Expertise
Proficiency in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC) technologies, distributed and on-site power generation systems, and energy lifecycle modeling is central to success in this role.
Work Environment
This is a hybrid position based in Houston, TX or San Jose, CA, with flexibility to work remotely from a field office. Regular travel to client sites and regional hubs is expected, with approximately half of time spent in the field.
