Responsibilities
You will be working on features specific to solar engineering, such as shading analysis, automatic cabling, wiring diagrams, solar panel layout algorithms, and more. You’ll be driving the features behind what makes Solesca’s mechanical and electrical solar design a success. Additionally, as a collaborative solar design platform, Solesca has a lot of moving parts, including automatic document saving & versioning and real-time communication with connected clients via WebSocket. You’ll work with our small team of engineers to ensure server and data integrity, reliability, and scalability.
