About the role

  • We're hiring our Principal Electrical Engineer.
  • In this role, your time will be split between:

Responsibilities

  • Supervise electrical design engineer(s), reviewing their work and providing the engineering judgment behind every stamped package.
  • collaborate with AI/software team to systematize.
  • Develop standardized templates, symbol libraries, and drawing conventions that become the foundation of our automated output.
  • Shape the review checkpoints, QC playbooks, and supervision cadence that let us scale stamped output with AI without diluting responsible charge; collaborate with AI/software team to systematize.

Requirements

  • You've stamped plenty of drawing sets, you know what plan checkers look for, and you can size a service entrance in your sleep.
  • Deep working knowledge of NEC and experience navigating AHJ-specific requirements.
  • Experience with EV charging infrastructure design (DCFC and/or L2 installations, utility interconnection, load management, light civil & structural design).
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills: ability to articulate engineering rules to teammates who are not experts in your area of expertise.
  • Comfort & natural knack for toggling between 80/20 & scrappy vs. detail-oriented & perfectionist depending on context.

Nice to have

  • Comfort working with AI tools - not because you'll be coding, but because you'll be collaborating with AI systems daily.

Skills

  • Proficient with CAD and BIM tools.
  • ability to articulate engineering rules to teammates who are not experts in your area of expertise.
  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
  • Benefits including but not limited to: health, vision, dental insurance, commuter benefits, unlimited PTO, and more.

  • This one is different.
  • Monterra is expanding our business to stand up an AI-native engineering services company.

Compensation

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience.

Benefits

  • Meaningful early-stage equity - this is the first PE on the team in a team of <10, not employee #50.
