Job Overview

The Performance Engineer II will be responsible for energy modeling and performance evaluation of PV plants at the proposal phase, engineering iterations and construction phase for individual projects as needed. This individual will be responsible for solar PV system size optimization based on energy generation requirements from the client. This person will be responsible for working closely with 3rd party engineering firms during the design phase of each PV power plant to ensure MET equipment is properly scoped and displayed in the construction drawings. During plant performance testing, this individual will support the Senior Performance Engineer in confirming the capacity output of the PV plant(s) meet contract requirements. This person will work closely with the construction and commissioning teams for necessary PV plant diagnostics related to performance and functionality of the power plant during construction, commissioning, and warranty phases of each project. This individual will support the internal Electrical Engineering team as requested or directed by the Senior Performance Engineer and/or Manager, SCADA & Performance Engineering.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Develop PVsyst energy generation models for project proposals as well as awarded & constructed projects for monofacial, bifacial, thin-film or any other emerging solar PV module technologies.
  2. Support the solar PV plant Performance Testing contract exhibit(s) development and technical negotiations with the Client.
  3. Evaluate utility-scale PV systems modeled/measured performance using PVsyst to create linear regressions in accordance with ASTM E2848-13.
  4. Calculate system availability from data collected by SCADA or on-site testing as needed.
  5. Contribute to ongoing research efforts to improve modeling of PV systems throughout their lifetime.
  6. Provide Commissioning and Performance Testing support to Operations and Site Construction team.
  7. Apply expertise about potential PV system component failure, potential modeling issues, and site design to troubleshoot current PV systems operating below expected levels of Guaranteed Capacity & energy production.
  8. Prepare test reports and give technical presentations on the testing results to Client, as required.
  9. Provide review of field-testing data such as PV array infrared imaging and open-circuit voltage testing to identify performance issues or component failure. Identify any fault patterns based on the electrical characteristics (I-V Curve, open-circuit voltage, hotspots, potential short circuit conditions) and validate defect evidence in potential warranty claims.
  10. Participate in calls with customers answering questions on PV system performance and recommending possible next steps for performance investigation.
  11. Design data visuals and written reports for audiences ranging from technical experts to management personnel.
  12. Draft work orders under existing MSA's for Third-party Subject Matter Experts (SME's)/Consultants.
  13. Assist Senior Performance Engineer with the scheduling of tasks both in Pre-construction & construction stages of projects.
  14. Support 'Request for Quote' (RFQ) process working with MET vendors in support of Estimating Department.
Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Science, or Data Analytics Engineering or related engineering discipline from an ABET accredited institution.

2-5 years of experience with modeling of modules, racking, inverters, and associated equipment for proper energy modeling of utility scale solar PV projects.
