Sr Engineer, Electrical
Headquartered just north of Nashville, Tennessee, Shoals Technologies Group (Shoals) is a leading electrical balance of systems (EBOS) solar, energy storage, and eMobility solutions provider. Since its founding in 1996, the Company has introduced innovative technologies and systems solutions that allow its customers to substantially increase installation efficiency and safety while improving system performance and reliability. Shoals is a recognized leader in the renewable energy industry, deploying solutions on over 60 GW of solar systems globally.
The Company has manufacturing facilities in Tennessee & Alabama, with sales personnel in Spain and Australia servicing Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific.
Shoals sells their solar products principally to engineering, procurement, and construction firms that build solar energy projects. The custom nature of their system solutions and the engineered-to-order development cycle for solar projects typically gives Shoals a 12+ month lead time to quote, engineer, produce, and ship each order, so there is no need to stock large amounts of finished goods.
