As Application Engineer, you'll work alongside the Regional Sales/Applications Engineer to further the technical relationship with the customer once a utility-scale PV project reaches the advanced sales stage (roughly 90% probability of closing) and carry it through commissioning and operation. Support customers from late-stage sales through commissioning

Act as the primary technical contact for project-specific questions once the opportunity reaches the advanced stage, taking a structured handover from the Application Engineer

Respond to customer requests for technical clarifications, documentation, and project-specific information

Field questions on inverter configuration, operation, and site-specific requirements

Work with customers to finalize project-specific parameter settings, and build a working understanding of how each parameter affects inverter behavior and performance

Maintain and update parameter-setting documents, and create the parameter files used to configure inverters in the field

Verify that customer-approved settings are correctly documented and signed off before commissioning

Support parameter-related discussions during project execution and commissioning

Deliver accurate project documentation

Prepare project-specific technical documentation based on the finalized inverter option codes

Keep clean records of configurations, parameter settings, option codes, and customer approvals

Partner with Project Managers to provide timely technical input throughout the project lifecycle

Work with our Service and Modeling teams in India to deepen your knowledge of inverter operation, commissioning requirements, and parameter behavior

Pull in product and engineering subject-matter experts when issues go beyond project scope,



and escalate early when needed

Capture lessons learned from project issues and feed them back into templates, documents, and processes

Help standardize parameter-setting documents and project support workflows so every project gets easier than the last

Customers get consistent, responsive technical support from late-stage sales through commissioning — no dropped handoffs

Parameter settings and configurations are reviewed, approved, and documented correctly the first time

Project documentation goes out accurate and on schedule

Application Engineers are freed up to focus on new projects, new customers, and new business

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or power systems.

Experience with utility-scale PV, power conversion systems, or inverter-based resources preferred — but we'll consider strong candidates earlier in their careers who show the right technical foundation

Working knowledge of PV inverter operation, controls, communication systems, and parameter settings

Comfort reading technical specifications, electrical drawings, and project documentation

you'll juggle multiple projects with different timelines and keep commitments on all of them
