    • Bridge Field and Customer Experience - Work closely with Project Managers, Field Quality, and Technical Operations to keep customers informed and supported during technical or post-installation issues.
    • Process Improvements - Identify recurring issues or gaps in customer communication. Work with CX leadership to improve internal tools, workflows, and documentation.
    • Document and Share Knowledge - Maintain clear case documentation and contribute to FAQs and knowledge base content to empower the Ops team and future CX representatives.

    • 1–2+ years of experience in residential solar and battery storage, with technical knowledge of systems like Tesla Powerwall and FranklinWH aPower
    • 1-2+ years of experience in a startup environment
    • Demonstrated ability to manage sensitive customer escalations
    • Troubleshooting skills across hardware, software, and connectivity layers of distributed energy systems
