Ingeniero de Diseño

At Terabase Energy, we believe that digitalization and automation will drive the next wave of innovation and cost reduction in large scale solar. To fully unlock the potential of this opportunity, Terabase is developing an interconnected software and construction automation platform. We work alongside project developers, owners, and engineering & construction firms to support the design, optimization, and construction of huge solar projects around the world. Our team is a blend of solar-industry veterans and newbies, thought-leaders, dreamers, software, electrical and mechanical engineers, coders, product managers, project managers, and sales and marketing professionals. We are based in Northern California, with several other offices in the United States and around the world.

We are seeking a Design Engineer to create PV power plant designs for projects from early stages of the project life cycle to detailed engineering for construction. Design Engineers are capable of creating highly detailed array layouts based on project site conditions, customer preferences, and their own knowledge of current technologies during the conceptual stages to optimize the value of the project. During the detailed engineering phase of the project, the Design Engineer will coordinate with internal and external resources as needed to generate the engineering package, obtain necessary construction permits, and assist in construction administration during the installation of the system.

The ideal candidate has demonstrated experience in utility power plant scale solar PV systems design, a knack for problem solving, is comfortable in dynamic situations, and detail-oriented. Experience in AutoCAD and Civil 3D is a must. This role is based in Alabang, Philippines, and will play a crucial role in driving the success of our projects.
