For the full job posting, please reference our website - https://schatzcenter.org/jobs/ We are looking for an electrical engineer to support our growing portfolio of work related to clean energy microgrids and distributed energy. These technologies are critical to enable a broad transition to renewable and clean energy systems. The chosen applicant will work with our experienced electrical and controls engineering staff to develop innovative microgrid projects with multiple indigenous Tribes in Northern California. This position is expected to start in July 2025, and is based at the Schatz Center in Arcata, CA. The exact start date is negotiable. Our team members have the flexibility to either work onsite full-time or alternate between remote work and onsite work, with a minimum of 40% of their time spent at the Schatz Center. During the initial onboarding period, the selected candidate could telecommute, but ultimately will need to live within commuting distance of the Schatz Center.
