Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today — we’re changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power — delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America’s energy and future right where it’s needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we’re reshaping how — and how fast — energy gets built in the U.S. Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America. Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide. We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously — but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we’re collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other — whether that’s troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch. If you’re looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment — and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. — we’d love to meet you.

- Identify appropriate equipment for use in PV systems and support the engineering team in technical qualification of vendors
- Develop necessary customer deliverables such as concept module layouts, single line diagrams, equipment or material specifications, engineering validation, 3-D renderings, and photo simulations
- Assist with Request for Proposal (RFP’s) review, technical writing, and response coordination as needed
- Work with the broader engineering team and operations to help in the independent engineering management efforts
- Review drawings and provide responses for client specific needs and if necessary, join meetings to provide technical expertise on the proposed designs
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in engineering.
- Basic understanding of Solar PV technology
- Experience in design projects either in academic courses or work experience
- Experience with solar PV design software platforms like Helioscope/Aurora will be a plus
Benefits And Perks
We offer competitive compensation and benefits designed to support you inside and outside of work:

Which renewable energy companies sponsor F-1 STEM OPT visas in New York?
Ørsted, Avangrid, Con Edison, and Consolidated Edison Development have active presences in New York and have historically filed Labor Condition Applications for STEM-adjacent roles. Offshore wind developers operating out of New York City and Long Island, along with solar and energy storage firms upstate near Albany and Syracuse, are among the most active F-1 STEM OPT employers in the state's renewable energy sector.
Which cities in New York have the most renewable energy F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship jobs?
New York City concentrates the most sponsorship activity, particularly for energy analytics, grid modernization, and corporate sustainability roles at utility headquarters. Albany sees hiring tied to state energy policy and NYSERDA-adjacent organizations. Long Island is a hub for offshore wind project development and operations. Buffalo and Rochester have emerging clean energy manufacturing and solar development activity driven by state incentive programs.
How do I find renewable energy F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship jobs in New York?
Migrate Mate filters renewable energy jobs in New York by F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship eligibility, showing only employers with verified Labor Condition Application filing history for STEM roles. This saves time compared to manually reviewing OFLC disclosure data. Search by city, role type, and degree field to match openings to your specific STEM OPT authorization window and program end date.
What types of renewable energy roles typically qualify for F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship in New York?
Roles most likely to qualify include electrical engineering, power systems engineering, data science applied to grid operations, environmental engineering, and software development for energy management platforms. These positions typically require degrees in engineering, computer science, mathematics, or environmental science, all of which are STEM-designated fields. Project management and policy roles without a direct STEM degree requirement generally do not qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension.
Are there New York-specific considerations for F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship in renewable energy?
New York's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act has accelerated state-level clean energy hiring, meaning more employers are actively building STEM teams for offshore wind, solar, and storage projects. However, employers must still be enrolled in E-Verify and meet all USCIS STEM OPT requirements regardless of state incentives. New York City's competitive hiring market can mean faster timelines, but sponsorship is never automatic and depends on the employer's specific filing history and internal HR capacity.
