ROLE SUMMARY
As a Design Engineer on Revamp's PV BESS Electrical team, you help accelerate the clean energy transition by designing the electrical systems for utility-scale solar PV and battery energy storage projects, from early layouts through issued-for-construction drawings.
At the Engineer II level, you work on small projects or portions of larger ones while learning from and growing alongside senior staff. At the Engineer III level, you lead multiple projects, may serve as Engineer of Record, and mentor staff engineers.
Every design you deliver helps bring new clean generation and storage onto the grid, and adds to a body of work that has supported more than 10% of US utility-scale solar capacity since 2020. As an employee-owner, you share in the success your work creates and help shape a culture built on collaboration, innovation, and accountability. Candidates may be considered at either the Engineer II or Engineer III level depending on experience, technical depth, independence, and demonstrated ability to lead scope.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Across both levels, this role may include:
Core Technical & Functional Responsibilities
- Design electrical systems and components for utility-scale solar PV and BESS projects, producing plans, details, and calculations for each design phase.
- Prepare electrical design drawings, including one-line and three-line diagrams, electrical layouts, AC/DC schematics, cable schedules, wiring diagrams, and grounding, trenching, and conduit details.
- Perform electrical design calculations, including conductor sizing, voltage drop, wire loss, and grounding, to support design decisions.
- Develop equipment specifications for PV modules, inverters, BESS, transformers, cable management systems, and balance-of-system (BOS) components.
- Evaluate, select, and apply standard design procedures and criteria, adapting methods for nonroutine aspects of assignments.
- Prepare project documentation, including calculation packages, design narratives, and issued-for-construction deliverables.
Project & Portfolio Execution
- Lead small projects or portions of larger projects through drawing and documentation delivery.
- Assign tasks to and coordinate work with discipline team members.
- Help determine schedule and budget requirements for electrical design tasks.
Quality, Standards & Compliance
- Ensure designs comply with the NEC, applicable IEEE, UL, and NFPA standards, utility requirements, and jurisdictional safety codes.
- Apply Revamp QA/QC procedures to your own work before submitting it for review.
Collaboration & Communication
- Coordinate with civil, structural, and power systems engineers to keep designs consistent and constructible.
- Work with clients, project managers, and subcontractors to understand expectations and resolve design comments.
- Present specific aspects of engineering assignments in project meetings.
Engineer III Expectations
- Lead multiple electrical design projects at once, managing discipline scope, schedule, and budget.
- Solve complex design problems independently, seeking guidance only on unconventional problems or conflicting criteria.
- Act as Engineer of Record on assigned projects when designated.
- Review deliverables prepared by staff engineers and designers for technical accuracy and adherence to Revamp standards.
- Mentor staff engineers and direct less experienced team members to complete assignments.
- Prepare scopes, budgets, and schedules for assignments and assist with proposals.
Additional Responsibilities
- Perform essential duties including meeting deliverables and deadlines.
- Perform additional related duties as assigned or directed.

Tips for Your Remote Electrical Design Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote electrical design engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly. Remote listings fill fast, so checking regularly and applying as soon as a relevant role appears gives you a real advantage.
Build a sharable remote design portfolio
Compile schematics, PCB layouts, wiring diagrams, and panel designs you can share digitally during the application process. Remote employers can't see your work in person, so a PDF portfolio or shared cloud folder with annotated design files does the work your location can't.
Show your async collaboration skills upfront
Remote electrical design engineers use tools like Confluence, Jira, or shared CAD vaults to keep distributed teams aligned. Mention specific tools you've used for async design reviews or version-controlled schematic updates in your resume and cover letter, not just in interviews.
Prepare for remote technical screening rounds
Many distributed engineering teams use take-home design tasks or video walkthroughs of your past schematics instead of whiteboard sessions. Practice narrating your design decisions clearly on video and be ready to walk through a schematic file while screen-sharing in a live call.
Remote Electrical Design Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote electrical design engineer job?
Target companies with distributed engineering teams, such as remote-first hardware startups, defense contractors with distributed offices, and industrial automation firms that hire electrical engineers regardless of location. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear async written communication, and proficiency in tools like AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or Altium Designer. A portfolio of completed schematics, PCB layouts, or panel designs gives you a concrete edge over candidates who rely on interview descriptions alone.
Which companies hire remote electrical design engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote electrical design engineers include Olsson, Baxter & Woodman, and FormFactor, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote openings for this role tend to come from distributed product teams, remote-first engineering firms, and larger defense or energy companies with geographically spread engineering departments.
Can you get a remote electrical design engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one without in-person mentorship. Remote-first hardware startups and smaller firms are the most likely to take a chance on entry-level candidates. Substitute experience with a personal project portfolio showing real schematics or PCB work, strong familiarity with industry-standard CAD tools, and demonstrated ability to communicate technical progress in writing.
Do you need a degree for remote electrical design engineer jobs?
Usually, but the emphasis depends on the employer. Most remote electrical design engineer roles list a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field as a baseline requirement, particularly in defense and industrial sectors. Remote employers also weigh demonstrated CAD proficiency, a portfolio of completed designs, relevant certifications like NCEES or AutoCAD credentials, and a history of delivering projects with minimal supervision.
Which industries hire the most remote electrical design engineers?
The sectors hiring the most remote electrical design engineers are Consulting & Professional Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These industries rely on distributed engineering teams to design systems, review schematics, and manage design workflows across multiple locations without requiring engineers to be on-site.
