    • Collaborate closely with installation teams to facilitate seamless and efficient factory and onsite implementation of design
    • Engage in research and application of the latest technologies and practices in renewable energy and modular construction
    • Work with program managers and other engineering disciplines to ensure holistic integration of all systems within Samara modular units

    • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt designs to changing technological and regulatory landscapes
    • Strong communication and leadership skills, capable of driving project decisions and managing complex stakeholder relationships
    • Ability to travel to our factory in Mexico up to 25-40%.
