    Default job background
    Description

    We are looking for world-class talent to tackle challenging projects that will help power the planet with 100% clean energy.

    First, the good news: Humans have installed a little over 1 TW of cumulative solar capacity over the last 20 years, and solar energy is the lowest-cost source of energy generation worldwide.

    Now, the challenge: Humans have to build 3 TW of solar capacity every year for the next 30+ years. Planted is creating new technology to overhaul how we design, develop, and build solar power resources to make this happen.

    We need help. We're expanding our team of curious, collaborative, and hands-on engineers and operators. Come take on large parts of product, project, or business development and help make our big plans a reality
    About The Role

    As the Field Engineer, you will apply new clean energy technology to applications in the field by overseeing field data collection during project diligence and managing project deployments. As a critical bridge between R&D and commercial operations, you will drive the development cycle from prototype iterations, tests, and real-world construction. This role offers the opportunity to work closely with a talented and cross-functional engineering and business team with a high degree of empowerment and autonomy.

    The salary range for this full-time position is $80,000 - $130,000 plus stock options and benefits. Pay within the range is based on candidate experience, job-specific skills, education, and work location. The target experience for the position is years.

    • Own, operate and improve test hardware

    • Actively identify areas of improvement for Planted's hardware and software
    QUALIFICATIONS

    • Strong record of safe field operations and ability to integrate safety into product design and project operations
    • Hands-on prototyping and troubleshooting experience

    • Flexible hours and paid time off (PTO)
    • 11 paid company holidays
    • Company paid in-office lunches
    • Stock option compensation
    • Medical, vision, dental and other benefits
    • Pre-tax commuter benefits
    • 401(k)
    • A chance to have an empowered, meaningful, and early role in climate
    This will be a great fit if:
    • You have a bias for action and focus on the key work that drives the most impact.
    • You want to solve challenging problems.
    • You prioritize the physical and psychological safety of yourself, your team, and partners.

    • We are biased toward action and complete quality work quickly and make tough decisions without agonizing.
    • We are humble, embrace change, and value learning over being right. We see failure as a pathway to innovation and share setbacks and mistakes openly so everyone can learn and improve. We seek and celebrate the diversity of thought, experience, and culture to avoid echo chambers.
    • We strive to elevate everyone. We set high expectations for performance and celebrate wins, big and small. We coach, develop, and make time to help each other.
