[Hiring] Electrical Engineer - Power & EV Infrastructure @Monterra

Role Description

Most engineering roles are about cranking out drawings at volume. This one is different. Yes, you'll develop drawings and work with clients - but you'll also work shoulder-to-shoulder with our AI and software team to encode your expertise into a system that produces electrical drawings faster and more reliably than anything the industry has seen. You won't just be doing the work. You'll be re-imagining how it gets done.

Monterra is expanding our business to stand up an AI-native engineering services company. We’re assembling a team of exceptional electrical engineers and building proprietary AI engineering assistants that compress weeks of engineering work into hours. We're starting with EV charging, where we already support many contractors and EPCs on site design & development. Our goal is to leverage AI to deliver engineering services better, cheaper, faster to clients.

We're hiring our Founding Electrical Design Engineer. This isn't a traditional design engineering role. In addition to delivering engineering services to clients, you'll work closely with our product & software engineering team to encode your expertise into our AI design engine and develop tools that make your (and future colleagues') work 10x faster.

In this role, your time will be split between:

• Producing and delivering permit-ready drawing packages to clients - SLDs, panel schedules, load calculations, site plans.
• Documenting the logic, rules, and judgement calls that go into every decision, working directly with our product & engineering team as the subject matter expert.
• Being a core contributor to our product roadmap, helping inform the various tedious workflows that slow you down day-to-day.

Our goal is to reimagine how engineering services are delivered and build the next-generation engineering firm, where human engineers and AI engineering assistants work together to reach the quality and speed that have been unimaginable to date.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of electrical design experience, with demonstrated experience producing permit-ready drawing packages (site plans, SLDs, panel schedules, load calculations).
• Deep working knowledge of NEC and experience navigating AHJ-specific requirements.
• Experience with EV charging infrastructure design (DCFC and/or L2 installations, utility interconnection, load management, light civil & structural design).
• Strong verbal and written communication skills: ability to articulate engineering rules to teammates who are not experts in your area of expertise.
• Proficient with CAD and BIM tools.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field).

Requirements

• Intensely curious.
• Strong team player.
• Pursuit of excellence.
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Self-starter.
• Creative problem solver.
• Comfort & natural knack for toggling between 80/20 & scrappy vs. detail-oriented & perfectionist depending on context.

Preferred But Not Required

• Familiarity with CAD automation, scripting, or parametric design tools.
• Comfort working with AI tools - not because you'll be coding, but because you'll be collaborating with AI systems daily.

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
• Meaningful early-stage equity - this is the first electrical engineer on the team in a team of <10, not employee #50.
• Benefits including but not limited to: health, vision, dental insurance, commuter benefits, unlimited PTO, and more.
• Remote-first; occasional travel for customer site visits and team gatherings.
