• Significant experience as a Senior or Lead Engineer in energy systems, power electronics, or a related field.
• Proven track record in system design, integration, and validation, especially within BESS, power electronics, or energy management systems.
• Strong understanding of electrical grid integration, microgrids, and off-grid systems design.

• Systems Thinking : Ability to define system boundaries, assess interactions between components, and predict behavior to optimize system performance.
• Product Problem Solving : Strong problem-solving skills using data-driven approaches to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
• System Requirements Engineering : Expertise in defining and managing system requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
• Product Verification & Validation : Ability to develop and manage validation plans, analyze test results, and guide product decision-making.
• Machine Integration & Optimization : Proficient in integrating sub-systems into a fully optimized product, ensuring reliability, cost-efficiency, and performance.
• Control Systems Expertise : Knowledgeable in designing and applying open/closed loop control systems, including the interaction between hardware and software in embedded systems.

• Education : Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related STEM field is required. A Master's degree in a relevant discipline is preferred.
• Licensing : This position may require licensing for compliance with export controls or sanctions regulations.

• Battery Technologies : Expertise in BESS solution development, battery management systems (BMS), and thermal management for battery safety.
• Power Electronics : Hands-on experience with DC-DC converters, inverters, and rectifiers.
• Energy Management Systems (EMS) : Skilled in EMS and control systems to optimize energy usage, storage, and grid integration.
• Simulation & Modeling Tools : Proficient in tools like Homer, Xendee, and in-house software for system design, simulation, and optimization.
• Safety Standards : Knowledge of relevant safety and compliance standards (UL, IEC, IEEE), particularly in the context of energy storage and power electronics.
• Communication & Collaboration : Ability to effectively communicate technical concepts to diverse audiences and work collaboratively within cross-functional teams.
• Problem-Solving : Strong analytical skills to troubleshoot complex electronic systems and recommend solutions.
• Decision-Making : Excellent decision quality, able to make sound and timely choices to drive product development forward.
• Project Management : Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritize deliverables, and ensure successful project execution.
• Mentorship & Leadership : Experience guiding less-experienced engineers and fostering a collaborative, high-performance team culture.
• Technical Communication : Ability to communicate complex technical ideas clearly and concisely, both written and verbally.
• Technical Problem-Solving : Demonstrated experience resolving complex technical issues, particularly in electronic applications or power systems.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration : Proven ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, product managers, and external partners.
• Tools : Proficiency with MS Office and other design, simulation, or testing tools relevant to the role.

• This position may require occasional travel to customer sites, manufacturing facilities, or partner locations.
• Flexibility in work hours and remote work options may be available based on project needs and business requirements.
