Mechanical Engineer III-IV and Renewable Analyst

Kilo Newton is searching for an ambitious individual who is experienced as a renewable energy engineer, primarily focused on solar and renewable projects.

The ideal candidate will leverage their professional skills in analysis, design, and leadership to prepare analysis, calculations, drawings, reports, etc. for project deliverables in solar utility design, focusing in renewable energy optimization, structural/mechanical analysis, and many other projects.

The candidate will be skilled in using computer analysis, optimization, and drafting software, including 3D CAD, FEA, Excel, and other analysis packages. Designs/models must be created and analyzed with accurate detail that incorporates design forces and specifications, environmental variables, sketches, civil requirements, field/customer notes, etc. The candidate must be able to comprehend, interpret, and render verbal inputs from the supervisor and others as required.

We seek someone who has a passion for what they do and being part of something special. Our ideal candidate will be innovative and flexible, yet extremely process oriented. We are looking for someone who is dedicated to hard work, bored by repetition, and motivated to win!
