The Opportunity
Do you thrive in fast-paced environments solving complex research challenges to bring breakthrough technologies to market Join Rayleigh Solar Tech as a Product Design Engineer where youll play a pivotal role in scaling the next generation of perovskite solar modules.
In this role youll employ strong electrical engineering fundamentals and solar knowledge to lead product design for a flexible solar system that disrupts current deployment models while acknowledging ground truths. Your will lead on the electrical balance of system design for a solar system that radically diverges from current deployment models.
Someone who wants to help shape a new class of flexible fast-to-install solar systems that expand the reach of clean energy-affordably and efficiently If this sounds like you we would love to meet you.
What youll do
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities:
- Electrical & system architecture: Own design of module interconnects power distribution junction placement protection schemes and DC/AC layouts for flexible PV products - crafted to minimize installation effort and reduce balance-of-system hardware.
- System-level modeling & interrogation: Evaluate how electrical design choices (stringing MPPT mapping conductor sizing tilt orientation) affect yield cost and deployability. Build models and trade studies to guide architecture decisions.
- Grounded innovation: Apply an understanding of c-Si deployment practices and EBOS (electrical balance-of-system) realities while still pushing the boundaries of whats possible in flexible PV form-factors and radical product formats.
- Prototyping & validation: Build and test prototypes collect data to validate energy/performance assumptions and iterate quickly.
- Manufacturing integration: Collaborate closely with mechanical/process teams to translate electrical designs into scalable manufacturable product and fieldable systems.
What youll need
Qualifications
What You Bring
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
- Experience with PV systems including c-Si deployment models string design inverters/charge controllers and BOS hardware.
- Ability to model array energy output using tilt/orientation vs. architecture (Python Matlab PVSyst etc.).
- Strong system-level thinking able to question assumptions and consider real-world installer wiring and EBOS realities.
- Creativity to merge those ground truths with radical innovation designing something truly new without losing practicality.
- Hands-on mindset; comfortable prototyping testing and iterating in a fast-moving of FormBottom of Form
Core Competencies:
- Practical wizard: Someone who starts with what if and finishes with it works
- Hustle: Ability to work fast and smart; time management is key for a start-up
- Adaptable: Start-ups are dynamic; our people must be too
- Curiosity: Excited to take their prior experiences and apply it to a solar product
- Execution: Commitment to delivering results and leading by example. This will include bringing clarity to complex tasks through methodical processes mentorship and documentation
- Effective: Proven ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams including product design technologist and operations
