Wunder
ApplyThis is a full-time, in-office position at our Boulder, CO headquarters. We are not offering remote or hybrid options for this role.
Wunder is building a Modern Energy Company.
We were founded with one simple vision: to address the greatest crisis of our generation by accelerating the deployment of solar energy. In doing so, we help businesses, municipalities, and schools save money by delivering clean on-site power. We convert simple warehouses into electrified industrial platforms built for the future. We enable the nation’s leading commercial and industrial real estate firms to capture the benefits of solar across their properties. We align ESG goals with revenue targets, and the renewable energy assets we’re deploying today will power America’s tomorrow.
Wunder currently holds more than $1 billion in solar assets under management and capital commitments. Our team has evaluated more than 10,000 properties for solar across all 50 states. Our average solar system - about 480 kilowatts in size - can offset 350,000 pounds of coal burned each year of system operation!
We have an amazing opportunity for an energetic, detail-oriented, and industrious analyst to solve hard problems and push renewable energy forward. We’re looking for someone who works quickly and efficiently, has an eye for detail, and is inspired by a challenge. Our team is rapidly acquiring commercial customers and developing solar across the country alongside our national network of solar partners, and we need your help!
Specifically, you’ll join our Asset Management team and help us answer a deceptively hard question every day: is each of our solar systems producing what it should be, and if not, why? You’ll compare live production data against weather-adjusted performance models to spot underperformance, dig into inverter and meter data to diagnose the cause, and drive the fix with our construction partners. The answer is different every time, and the processes and tooling we use to get to it are still being built. You’ll help build them. You’ll also help keep the commercial side of the portfolio running: tracking revenue and lease payments, processing annual PPA and lease rate escalations, and building the reporting our customers rely on.
If you get excited about unlocking the untapped commercial and industrial market, joining a team designed for hyper-growth, and building an organization aimed at saving the world, then this is the role for you.
You Have a Technical Foundation - You have 1-2+ years of experience or are a recent graduate with a solid foundation from a previous internship, part time, or full time role. We’re especially excited about candidates with an electrical background, whether that’s a degree in Electrical Engineering, time in the trades as an electrician, or hands-on experience with power systems, controls, or instrumentation. If you can look at a single-line diagram and reason about what’s happening on the DC and AC sides of a system, you’ll hit the ground running.
You’re a Methodical Troubleshooter - Most of our systems are hundreds of miles away, so diagnosis happens through data rather than walking the array. You form a hypothesis, test it, rule it out, and move to the next one, instead of guessing and hoping. You know the difference between a number that looks wrong and a number that is wrong, and you execute intentional steps to determine the root cause.
Excellent Written & Oral Communication - You have clear, concise written and verbal communication skills. In this role you might talk through a fault with a service technician on a roof in the morning and write a portfolio update to a customer that afternoon. You can communicate clearly to either audience without losing the substance.
You’re Eager and Ready to Learn - You are at the beginning of an exciting career and you’re ready to get your feet wet and learn how a commercial solar system actually behaves once it’s energized: the hardware that runs it, the failure modes that quietly erode its performance, and the contracts that turn it into a business. You want to get your hands dirty and try new things, all while saving the planet.
You Have a Team Ethos - You thrive in a creative, inventive, fast-paced rapid-growth environment, with people who are passionate about their work and mission. You’re not just excited to work cross-functionally, you crave it.
You Believe That No Problem is Too Hard - In an industry where people are constantly stuck, we find ways to get it done. You know how to articulate and roll out solutions, recognizing there are many solutions to the same problem. You find new and effective ways to streamline and create processes to increase efficiency.
Located in Boulder or Denver, CO - Candidates must currently live in, or be willing to relocate to, the Boulder/Denver area.
Wunder provides one of the only tangible opportunities to truly save the planet - and that’s hard work! Your job impacts nearly every facet of your life, so we provide an extensive compensation and benefits package to ensure Wunder has a positive impact on your life, both personally and professionally.
The base salary range for this role is $65,000 - $90,000 per year, plus equity in the form of stock options. Wunder determines the successful candidate's compensation package throughout the interview process based on experience and expertise, and the final compensation package will be discussed with the candidate during the final stages of the interview process.
Wunder truly cares about your happiness and well-being, so we strive to ensure our benefits offerings are of top quality. We offer the following benefits to all team members:
