Our culture is rooted in sustainability, innovation, and collaborative problem solving—and we’re excited to grow our Legal Team.

We are looking to hire a Commercial Counsel onsite in Fremont, CA who will drive supplier side contract review, negotiate contracts with suppliers, manage claims, and ensure tight back to back alignment between our customer commitments and our direct material supplier agreements. The ideal candidate will have strong commercial contracting experience, sound legal judgment, and the ability to balance legal risk with business priorities. Experience may come from a combination of law firm and in-house roles. Direct experience in renewable energy, manufacturing, hardware, technology, or supply chain contracting is preferred but not required. Attorneys with strong experience negotiating supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, or commercial contracts in other industries are encouraged to apply.

  • Work cross functionally with Sourcing, Operations, Quality, Logistics, Project Management, and Legal to align supplier terms with project needs and obtain approvals for non standard terms. Identify legal, commercial, and operational risks in contracts and recommend balanced solutions aligned with company policies and business priorities
  • Contribute to continuous improvement – Develop and maintain contract templates, fallback positions, clause libraries, playbooks and guidance notes for supply chain agreements; share best practices and provide training to Sourcing teams.
  • General advisory and legal guidance to Executive/Leadership and functional leads on legal and regulatory issues affecting global supply chain contracts.

  • 6+ years of relevant legal experience, which may include a combination of law firm and in-house experience.
  • Strong experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts.
  • Experience with supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, hardware, technology, energy, infrastructure, or other operationally complex commercial agreements.
  • Ability to identify and clearly communicate legal, commercial, and operational risks to business stakeholders.
  • Strong business judgment and ability to provide practical, solution-oriented legal advice in a fast-paced environment.
  • Self motivated, organized, and comfortable operating within a global environment, coordinating with colleagues and stakeholders across time zones.
