About the role

  • Advance our simulation and optimization work across PV and battery storage system layout, component selection, and electrical configuration
  • Shape the architecture of our simulation and computation infrastructure so it stays correct, fast, and maintainable as it grows
  • Write clean, well tested code and raise the engineering bar through the patterns you establish

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain the backend systems and computation engines behind Aurora's solar and electrical design workflows
  • Partner with product managers, designers, research engineers, and fellow engineers to turn complex physical models and engineering constraints into reliable, scalable software
  • Mentor teammates and show up fully in technical discussions, code reviews, and design documents
  • Own the services you build end to end, including on-call rotation
  • Our software has designed millions of solar projects so far, empowering solar companies to sell, design, and install residential and commercial solar arrays accurately, seamlessly, and at scale.
  • We're in this together to support the world's transition to solar.
  • The technical and business contexts are steep at first, and the payoff is real: you'll move the accuracy and capability of solar design forward for thousands of installers and millions of homeowners.
  • We're united in our work to support the world's transition to solar!
  • Aurora is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workforce of people who believe in and are passionate about creating a future of solar energy for all.

Requirements
