Engineering Manager Solar PV

About SunStripe

SunStripe, is a VC-backed technical consulting firm working directly with top US solar + BESS developers on 100+ MW projects.

At SunStripe, we are focused on advancing solar and energy storage across our two key verticals: Energy Services and Energy Technologies.

Through Energy Services, we provide strategy, advisory, and execution support to commercial and industrial customers, project developers, and independent power producers (IPPs). Our teams manage projects across their full lifecycle, navigating technical, regulatory, and financial complexity to deliver better outcomes.

Headquartered in Hyderabad, India, with an expanding international presence in the United States, SunStripe is building a global platform for the future of energy. 

Looking ahead, we plan to expand deeper into the solar and storage value chain, including direct project development, ownership of energy assets, and the deployment of enabling technologies that accelerate market adoption and improve performance at scale.

At SunStripe, precision, accountability, and execution define everything we do. We’re building a tight, office-first engineering team in Hyderabad — not a BPO, but a fast, high-context unit solving real design, interconnection, and project challenges for the US market.
