About Us:
CALSTART is a mission-driven industry organization focused on transportation decarbonization and clean air for all.
For over 30 years, it’s been CALSTART’s mission to develop, assess, and implement large-scale, zero-emission transportation solutions to mitigate climate change and support economic growth. CALSTART works with businesses, organizations, governments, and communities to create real-life impact toward clean air and equitable access to clean transportation for all. CALSTART provides scientific, technical and policy support for regulatory development and clean technology and infrastructure acceleration.
About the Role:
We are looking for an analyst to support zero-emission transportation projects through data-driven modeling and analysis. You’ll evaluate EV charging and hydrogen infrastructure needs, assess costs and emissions impacts, and help develop cloud-based tools to guide fleets in their transition to clean technologies. The role also includes preparing reports and presentations that translate complex findings into clear insights for partners and stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct techno-economic feasibility studies for zero-emission transportation projects, including fleet transition planning and infrastructure design.
- Support modeling of ZEV infrastructure sizing for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles using real-world datasets; assist in developing emission-reduction strategies and cost-benefit analyses.
- Apply knowledge of electric and hydrogen vehicle technologies and their associated infrastructure to project development.
- Collect, validate, and analyze large datasets, including annual load profiles, utility tariffs, EV charger outputs, hydrogen infrastructure data, and traffic volumes.
- Contribute to the development of cloud-based, data-driven tools that support the transition of conventional fleets to ZEVs (e.g., route energy estimators, infrastructure optimization tools, total cost of ownership calculators).
- Prepare technical reports, presentations, and stakeholder-facing deliverables.
- Coordinate project timelines, deliverables, and team meetings across internal staff and external partners.
- Translate technical findings into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Collaborate closely with engineers, analysts, and project managers to support fleet electrification initiatives.
Required Qualifications:
- Experience in zero-emission technology, renewable energy, sustainability, utility industry and tariff analysis, and renewable fuels.
- Knowledge of vehicle duty cycles, charging/fueling requirements, and geoprocessing tools (ArcGIS, Google Earth Pro).
- Strong Excel skills, including advanced functions, pivot tables, macros, solver, and cost-benefit analysis.
- Ability to synthesize and present large datasets into actionable insights for decision-making.
Desired Qualifications:
- Familiarity with microgrids and renewable energy systems integration.
- Background in programming languages (R or Python) is a plus.
- Experience with emissions calculation tools (AFLEET, GREET, EMFAC/On-Road).Proficiency with ArcGIS, NREL Renewable Energy Tools (e.g., SAM, REopt), R, Python, and hydrogen infrastructure modeling tools.
We understand that not everyone will match the above qualifications 100%. If your background isn't perfectly aligned but you feel you would be a great addition to the team, we'd love to hear from you.
