We are seeking an entry-level professional to join our off-grid energy access team. The position will support administrative and research tasks including coordination with solar product manufacturers, data input and maintenance, and technical test report review and analysis. This is a full-time (40 hours/week) position, and is anticipated to start in July 2023.
This position will substantially contribute to our work on off-grid energy access. For context, more than 1 billion people worldwide are currently unable to access reliable grid electricity. Modern off-grid solar products help support these communities by providing clean and reliable energy for homes, farms and small businesses, and local facilities including schools and health clinics. As the technical lead for the VeraSol program, our off-grid energy access team develops and implements international test protocols for quality assurance to ensure that solar products and appliances are safe, durable, reliable, and perform as advertised. We work closely with national governments, manufacturers, and nonprofit organizations seeking to provide energy access and resilience across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. To date, over 65 million off-grid solar products that were certified through the program have been sold, benefitting well over 100 million people.
We work in a hybrid environment that supports flexibility and connection. Our team members currently have the option to work on site all the time or alternate between working remotely and at least 25% onsite at the Schatz Center. During the initial onboarding period, the team member could telecommute, but ultimately will need to live within commuting distance of the Schatz Center.
We welcome applications from everyone who is legally eligible to work in the United States. Please note that we operate under the Cal Poly Humboldt policy, which requires all students, staff, and faculty to be either (a) fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or (b) qualify for a medical or religious exemption.
Who we are and what we do
Since 1989, the Schatz Center has been a leader in applied research and project development for clean and renewable energy. Our current portfolio includes microgrid development, sustainable transportation design, carbon life-cycle analysis, solar product testing, offshore wind feasibility studies, and planning and policy for clean energy access around the globe.
We are located on the campus of Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, California. Arcata’s 800-acre community forest and 11 miles of trails begin one block away — and we are within biking distance of California’s second largest inland bay and the Pacific Ocean.
As residents of a rural coastal community, we are keenly aware of our social and environmental responsibilities. We are committed to increasing energy access and resilience for communities worldwide — and do so through clean and renewable design that reduces climate change and restores environmental and human health.
How to apply
Please see the full job announcement for required experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Applicants must submit all of the following via email to schatzenergy@humboldt.edu :

Our employees and active community of volunteers build and transform government and community tools and services, making them so good they inspire change. We merge the best parts of technology, nonprofit, and government to help support the people who need it most.

We are seeking a Senior Service Designer to join our Design Team. As part of the Design Team at Code for America, you will help transform how government services are delivered.

Your primary impact in this role will focus on helping the OA coach government stakeholders through a human-centered design process that prioritizes codesign with impacted populations, community based organizations, and service providers. This role will not be product-focused, but instead involve thinking strategically about systems change and how to impact longer-term equitable population-level outcomes by collaborating with partners to build connections with local governments across each jurisdiction.

In this position you will:
Facilitate change behavior: Advise government partners by advocating for a long-term vision and taking small, tangible steps toward that vision.

Locate and define problems : Identify the right questions, frame and reframe problems through an equity-centered approach, and drive clarity at all stages of a project.
Visualize complexity: Create compelling journey maps, frameworks, and diagrams that inspire systemic improvements.
Prototype and implement holistic services: Prototype and test different approaches that balance user needs, technology limitations, financial constraints, and policy realities.
Build connections across silos: Convene and coach internal teams and external stakeholder and community groups through the human-centered design process.
About you:
At least 4 years of service design experience or related design experience in product, user experience, or human-centered design;
A portfolio of service design work that outlines your design process, deliverables, and impact - we understand that formal portfolios may privilege some applicants over others. We’re open to receiving any examples of work you have, even if it is not a formal portfolio;
Experience facilitating and running workshops and alignment sessions;
Familiarity working within or alongside iterative software development practices;
Demonstrated ability to design, test, implement, and measure multi-channel experiences that include a digital product delivery;
Willingness to travel for research and client workshops (up to 40% of the time);

Visualize complexity: Create compelling journey maps, frameworks, and diagrams that inspire systemic improvements.
Prototype and implement holistic services: Prototype and test different approaches that balance user needs, technology limitations, financial constraints, and policy realities.
Build connections across silos: Convene and coach internal teams and external stakeholder and community groups through the human-centered design process.
About you:
At least 4 years of service design experience or related design experience in product, user experience, or human-centered design;
A portfolio of service design work that outlines your design process, deliverables, and impact - we understand that formal portfolios may privilege some applicants over others. We’re open to receiving any examples of work you have, even if it is not a formal portfolio;
Experience facilitating and running workshops and alignment sessions;
Familiarity working within or alongside iterative software development practices;
Demonstrated ability to design, test, implement, and measure multi-channel experiences that include a digital product delivery;
