Ampacity is building out a full electrical distribution offering - cable, grounding, conduit, terminations, and everything else needed for a kitted electrical solution - and we need a Design Engineer to help lead it. 

You'll independently design, review, and sign off on electrical deliverables for live utility-scale solar projects: sizing MV cable and collection systems, building BOM packages, leading design reviews. You'll work directly with our PE-licensed Electrical Engineering Manager, with real ownership from day one - not just execution under close supervision. 

If you want to shape how a growing company builds its design processes and tooling, not just draft to spec, this is that role. 

Pay Range: $90,000-$100,000

• Independently review electrical drawings and develop electrical deliverable packages for utility-scale solar projects, ensuring accuracy and completeness  

• Lead design reviews using internal checklists and quality processes, with authority to sign off on deliverables  

• Size and select harnesses, MV cable, and collection system components with minimal oversight  

• Apply relevant codes and standards (NEC, IEEE) to project-specific design decisions  

• Collaborate with the structural design team to drive coordinated value engineering across electrical and structural scopes  

• Contribute to internal design tools and standardized processes (e.g., the team's BOM tool) and help mentor junior team members as the department grows 

• This role will evolve over time with the needs of the business. 

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 3-5 years of electrical design experience, with direct utility-scale solar experience required
• Working knowledge of BOS components (cable, harnesses, combiners) and relevant NEC articles (690, 691)
• Track record developing accurate BOMs and collaborating across structural/interdisciplinary teams
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and written/verbal communication
• Proficient in Excel; comfortable picking up new internal tools
• Able to work independently and own deliverables with minimal oversight

Preferred

• Drafting experience (AutoCAD, etc.) 
• Experience with solar design software (PVFarm, PlantPredict, PVCase, PVsyst, etc.) 
• EIT or PE licensure, or active pursuit 
• Scripting experience (Python, etc.) a huge plus 
• Background at a distributor, EPC, or developer in solar
