Job description

Senior Performance Controls Engineer – North America

At Canadian Solar, our vision is to make lives better by bringing electricity powered by the sun to millions of people worldwide. As a leading manufacturer of solar panels, inverters, and energy storage solutions, we’ve been an industry front‑runner since our founding in 2001.

Through our subsidiaries – e-Storage, Recurrent Energy, MSS and CSI Solar Co. – we invest in our employees’ growth. Our training programs and promotional opportunities ensure continual learning, and we value work‑life balance by offering flexible options.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Performance Controls Engineer to combine a sharp analytical mindset with hands‑on problem‑solving instincts of a commissioning engineer. The role involves troubleshooting complex issues, pinpointing root causes on operating systems, and driving solutions across internal teams and external vendors.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Prioritize, investigate, and drive corrective action for performance issues identified during facility operation.
  • Conduct troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis using data analysis, first principles, on‑site investigation, or other tools as needed.
  • Validate software / firmware updates with vendors, site service teams, and stakeholders; coordinate subsequent rollouts.
  • Communicate issues to vendors and stakeholders to ensure resolutions are implemented.
  • Support performance testing as required under individual contracts for each facility.
  • Contribute to fleet‑wide initiatives to improve monitoring and analysis processes and tools.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to provide input that improves performance across the business, from application design to project execution, commissioning, and service.
  • Document issues and resolutions for tracking, knowledge sharing, and internal / external communications.
  • Ensure all activities comply with safety protocols, engineering standards, and company policies.

What You’ll Bring

  • Demonstrated experience in customer‑focused problem solving.
  • Ability to execute multiple projects and tasks simultaneously, self‑directed, highly detail‑oriented, organized, and flexible.
  • Experience troubleshooting with data analytics.
  • Experience in commissioning, performance testing, maintenance, or design of BESS or other power generating facilities.
  • Knowledge of SCADA protocols (e.g., DNP3 and Modbus).
  • Familiarity with industrial communication networks (fiber optics, network switches, TCP / IP, etc.).
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Willingness to travel up to 20% of the time; travel may be on short notice.
  • What It’s Like to Work Here

    At e‑STORAGE, you are part of a team that values your ideas, background, and unique perspective. We believe equity, diversity, and inclusion are essential to our success. Our culture embraces :

  • Integrity – doing what’s right, always.
  • Innovation – encouraging fresh thinking and bold ideas.
  • Quality – delivering excellence every time.
  • Customer focus – listening, caring, and delivering.
  • Sustainability – protecting our planet for future generations.
  • Why You’ll Love Working With Us

  • Join a global renewable‑energy leader backed by over 23 years of experience.
  • Work on projects that make a real difference to a cleaner, greener world.
  • Enjoy a supportive, collaborative environment prioritizing growth.
  • Receive a competitive salary and generous benefits package.
  • Your Rewards

    Competitive salary, performance bonuses, and a comprehensive benefits package – health coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, and more.

    Our Commitment to Equality & Diversity

    At e‑STORAGE, we know that diverse teams drive innovation and better results. We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered—regardless of age, race, gender, ability, or background. When you join us, you’re joining a community that celebrates your uniqueness and supports your success. — Libby, Sr. Global HR Manager
