Solution Architecture and Engineering

Solutions/Applications Engineer

Theoris Services is assisting our client in their search for a Solutions/Applications Engineer to add to their growing team. Our client is a leader and innovator in distributed energy. They have responded to long-term trends in electricity by becoming the first smart-grid supplier to US energy consumers. We seek those who share our commitment to customer service, innovation, and ingenuity. The Solutions/Applications Engineer serves as the technical lead for customer-facing power generation and microgrid solutions, owning system architecture, technical scope, and solution development from early customer engagement through project handoff. This role combines strong electrical engineering fundamentals with customer consultation, technical leadership, and business strategy. Solutions/Applications Engineers work directly with customers to understand operational challenges, develop practical solutions, and communicate complex power system concepts in a clear and actionable way. This is not a traditional design engineering role focused primarily on calculations, drafting, or detailed design packages. Instead, Solutions/Applications Engineers serve as trusted technical advisors, balancing reliability, performance, constructability, schedule, and commercial objectives to deliver executable solutions. We’re looking for engineers who enjoy leading technical discussions, solving complex problems, and serving as the technical leader in the room.
