We’re a team of friends bound together by a mission to preserve our planet for future generations through innovative energy solutions and modern infrastructure. Intersect develops, constructs, and operates the most ambitious power and data center infrastructure in the country by co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable power generation.   Intersect was acquired by Google in March 2026 and operates as an independent subsidiary. We are developing and constructing multiple gigawatts of energy and data center projects in the U.S., enabling more data center and generation capacity to come online faster. We’re on an aggressive growth trajectory and looking for people hungry to tackle the largest energy challenges on the planet.   Location & Team Gatherings   Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016.  We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office - we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Austin, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.   We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture. About This Role   As part of Intersect’s Engineering team, you’ll lead the technical design and optimization of standalone and colocated energy storage systems across our growing portfolio. This includes battery storage paired with PV, wind, data centers, green hydrogen, and other advanced infrastructure projects that enable deep decarbonization of the broader economy.   This role partners closely with Development, Procurement, Finance, and Construction to deliver technically sound, cost-optimized, and bankable storage solutions. You’ll own system sizing, electrical modeling, technology selection, and performance optimization ensuring projects meet offtake obligations, financing requirements, and long-term operational expectations. Your work will directly influence project LCOE/LCOS, contract negotiations, and long-term asset performance across one of the industry’s most ambitious growth platforms.   Team Overview   This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by delivering technically rigorous, cost-optimized infrastructure at scale. The Engineering team partners cross-functionally with Development, Finance, Procurement, Construction, and Operations to ensure every project is designed for performance, safety, and long-term value creation. By combining deep technical expertise with commercial awareness, the team enables bankable projects that power customers across North America while creating meaningful opportunities for innovation, growth, and impact.   What You’ll Do   Own Technical Design & System Performance Lead system sizing, arrangement, electrical modeling, and balance-of-system design for standalone and hybrid ESS projects Ensure storage systems meet contractual offtake requirements and financial model assumptions over the life of the asset Optimize designs to achieve lowest LCOE/LCOS while maintaining constructability and reliability   Drive Cross-Functional Optimization Guide cross-functional design efforts across Development, Land, Finance, and Engineering to align cost, production, land use, and performance Identify technical risks and opportunities early, quantifying impacts and mitigation strategies Support Procurement and Operations teams with technical expertise throughout project lifecycle   Lead Technical Commercial Strategy Serve as technical lead in energy storage PPA negotiations, delivering cost-optimized and constructable solutions Support EPC RFP processes
