    Proficiency with Modbus (RTU/TCP), OPC-UA, CANbus, REST APIs, GOOSE, SNMP; understanding of protocol mapping and interface abstraction layers 

  • Power Systems Integration: 
    Familiarity with DER components (inverters, BESS, relays, metering), site controller architectures, and local supervisory logic for microgrid or distributed energy control 

  • Software & Control Architecture: 
    Understanding of real-time systems, deterministic control loops, fault-tolerant design, and embedded/cloud control handoffs; experience with Linux-based edge devices, gateways, or PLCs 

  • SCADA / EMS / BMS Interfacing: 
    Experience defining requirements and managing integration with customer-side EMS, SCADA, and building or battery management systems; exposure to IEC 61850, IEEE 2030.5, DNP3, or similar 

  • Data Models & Telemetry: 
    Knowledge of telemetry data structures (e.g., time series, events, alarms); ability to specify logging, diagnostics, and performance KPIs for distributed assets 

  • Security & Update Management: 
    Awareness of OT/IT security models, software signing, update policies, and remote fleet management protocols (e.g., secure OTA updates) 

  • Tooling & Documentation: 
    Comfortable working with Jira, Confluence, Git, Figma (or equivalent); experience producing PRDs, integration guides, interface specs, and release documentation 

Bonus qualifications:

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
