How to Apply for Design Engineer I- Electrical (PV & BESS)

at Revamp Engineering

🏢 About Revamp Engineering

Revamp Engineering specializes exclusively in renewable energy projects with a clear mission to preserve the planet for future generations. Unlike general engineering firms, they focus specifically on PV solar and BESS systems, offering a chance to work on cutting-edge sustainable technology projects from day one.

About This Role

As a Design Engineer I-Electrical, you'll create detailed electrical plans and calculations for PV solar and battery storage systems under close supervision. This entry-level role provides hands-on experience with one-line diagrams, AC/DC schematics, and equipment specifications for renewable energy components, directly contributing to the company's mission of advancing clean energy infrastructure.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves creating detailed electrical drawings in AutoCAD for PV system layouts under senior engineer supervision, participating in equipment specification reviews for solar inverters and battery storage components, and collaborating remotely with project teams to ensure designs meet NEC requirements and client specifications for renewable energy installations.

Practice questions for this role

🎯 Who Revamp Engineering Is Looking For

  • Recent electrical engineering graduate with coursework or projects focused on power systems, renewable energy, or substation design
  • Has hands-on AutoCAD experience creating electrical diagrams (not just basic drafting) from academic projects or internships
  • Demonstrates practical understanding of NEC sections relevant to PV systems (Article 690) and battery storage (Article 706)
  • Can provide specific examples of identifying and solving complex electrical design problems in academic or professional settings

📝 Tips for Applying to Revamp Engineering

1

Highlight any academic projects involving PV system design, battery storage calculations, or substation diagrams in your resume

2

Mention specific NEC articles you've worked with (especially 690, 705, 706) rather than just saying 'familiar with NEC'

3

Include AutoCAD file examples or portfolio links showing electrical schematics, not just architectural drawings

4

Reference Revamp Engineering's specific mission statement about 'preserving the planet' in your application materials

5

Quantify any experience with BESS components, inverter specifications, or balance-of-system design even from coursework

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience with AutoCAD for electrical engineering drawings (mention file types: .dwg, specific diagrams created)', 'How your academic projects or internships relate directly to PV system design or battery storage calculations', "Your understanding of Revamp Engineering's exclusive focus on renewable energy projects versus general engineering firms", 'Examples of identifying and solving complex problems in electrical design, even from academic settings']

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • → Review Revamp Engineering's project portfolio on their website to understand their specific PV and BESS project types
  • → Research current NEC updates (2023 edition) particularly for Articles 690, 705, and 706 relevant to PV and storage
  • → Study typical BESS configurations (AC-coupled vs. DC-coupled) and common inverter manufacturers in the industry
  • → Look into remote collaboration tools and workflows since this is a fully remote position within the US

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk me through creating a one-line diagram for a PV system with battery storage backup
2 How would you apply NEC Article 690 to a commercial solar installation design?
3 Describe your experience with equipment specifications for inverters or BESS components
4 What challenges have you faced when coordinating electrical layouts with other engineering disciplines?
5 How do you ensure accuracy in cable schedules and connection details for renewable energy projects?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting generic AutoCAD samples showing architectural drawings instead of electrical schematics or one-line diagrams
  • Claiming NEC familiarity without being able to reference specific articles relevant to PV systems (690) or energy storage (706)
  • Focusing resume on general electrical engineering experience without highlighting renewable energy or power systems coursework/projects
