About the role
The Company
Nira is a software company with a mission of accelerating the integration of large-scale
renewable energy projects. Developers of solar, wind, and energy storage projects use
Nira’s software to find the best locations to site their projects and help manage them
through the queue. Nira’s software products simplify complex and niche electrical
engineering concepts that would otherwise lead most renewable energy projects to be
cancelled after significant investment.
In less than five years, Nira has solidified a track record of success a with a growing,
and profitable, 25+ employee company. They’ve established an extremely reputable
brand and have a rapidly growing customer base. The opportunity to join such an early
stage, yet risk-reduced, software company in growth mode is a rare opportunity.
The Job
Nira is hiring Transmission Planning Engineers to join the product team comprised of
half planning engineers and half software engineers. In this role, you’ll work with other
planning engineers and software engineers to build products that help renewable
developers put together successful project portfolios. Specifically, you’ll:
• Focus on deepening and expanding your transmission planning and generator
interconnection studies subject matter expertise.
• Work with software engineers and product managers to codify your domain
knowledge into Nira’s software products’ backend.
• Support the full product life cycle including product ideation, research and
development, coding, sales support, customer support, and product
maintenance.
Who We’re Looking For This could be a great fit if: • You have experience with generation interconnection related studies. You have 2+ years of hands on experience with tools like TARA, PSS/E, Power World, Python, etc.; and you already have a sense of what data renewable developers need to build a portfolio of successful projects. • You’re motivated by having ownership in your work. You take initiative on projects and have a strong preference to be a trailblazer. Or when the "trail" is given to you, you are motivated to challenge it and ensure it's the best trail every step of the way.
