Developers of solar, wind, and energy storage projects use <br>Nira’s software to find the best locations to site their projects and help manage them <br>through the queue. Nira’s software products simplify complex and niche electrical <br>engineering concepts that would otherwise lead most renewable energy projects to be <br>cancelled after significant investment.</p><p>In less than five years, Nira has solidified a track record of success a with a growing, <br>and profitable, 25+ employee company. They’ve established an extremely reputable <br>brand and have a rapidly growing customer base. The opportunity to join such an early <br>stage, yet risk-reduced, software company in growth mode is a rare opportunity.  <br> <br><strong>Job Description  </strong><br>Nira is hiring Transmission Planning Engineers to join the product team comprised of <br>half planning engineers and half software engineers. In this role, you’ll work with other <br>planning engineers and software engineers to build products that help renewable <br>developers put together successful project portfolios. Specifically, you’ll:  <br>• Focus on deepening and expanding your transmission planning and generator <br>interconnection studies subject matter expertise. <br>• Work with software engineers and product managers to codify your domain <br>knowledge into Nira’s software products’ backend. <br>• Support the full product life cycle including product ideation, research and <br>development, coding, sales support, customer support, and product <br>maintenance. <br> <br><strong>Who We’re Looking For</strong>  <br>This could be a great fit if: <br>• You have experience with generation interconnection related studies. You <br>have 2+ years of hands on experience with tools like TARA, PSS/E, Power <br>World, Python, etc.; and you already have a sense of what data renewable <br>developers need to build a portfolio of successful projects. <br>• You’re motivated by having ownership in your work. You take initiative on <br>projects and have a strong preference to be a trailblazer. Or when the "trail" is <br>given to you, you are motivated to challenge it and ensure it's the best trail every <br>step of the way. <br>• You’re ready to roll up your sleeves for the team, and no task is beneath <br>you. Sometimes the work isn’t always sexy, but you’re down to do it anyway if it <br>means advancing the mission and providing value to our customers. <br>• You want to level up your software engineering skills. The power of Nira <br>comes from codifying our transmission planning knowledge! You’ll work directly <br>with an extremely talented group of software engineers to create products. If you <br>like to code, this is the highest value opportunity in the space to grow this skillset. <br>• You’re low ego. You may have strong opinions, but you hold them loosely. You <br>challenge your instincts, are data driven, and aren’t scared to be wrong. You <br>seek to find the best solutions for our customers even if it runs counter to your <br>initial thinking.  <br> <br><strong>Why Nira?  </strong><br>Nira is a mission-oriented company that places a strong emphasis on a positive work <br>culture. They have built a world class team of software engineers and transmission <br>planning engineers, and you'll be working amongst a team of all stars.</p><p> <br>The company is growing exponentially, and the opportunity for professional growth is <br>huge. The organization is flat, the leadership is transparent, and you get full exposure to <br>seeing what it takes to go from 0 to 1 with product development and business in <br>general.</p><p><br>This is also an opportunity to get equity in an early-stage startup with rare momentum.  </p>

Day to day, you'll work very closely with Transmission Planning Engineers (TPEs) to get your job done. Both the SWEs and TPEs only have half the picture, so our teams have to be extremely cross-discipline and collaborative.
