Join us as a

Expert - Energy Storage System Solution and Architecture (m/f/d)

Become a key technical authority in our mission to develop next-generation energy storage system architectures and solutions. In this role, you will research and design advanced system architectures for utility-scale, commercial & industrial (C&I), renewable co-location and emerging high-power applications such as AI data centers.

In this role, you will lead the definition and evolution of end-to-end system architectures for utility-scale, commercial & industrial (C&I), renewable co-location and emerging high-power, high-availability applications such as AI/HPC data centers.

You will translate evolving application, grid and market requirements into system-level requirements, reference architectures and optimized product configurations. Working across batteries, DC/DC converters, power conversion systems (PCS), transformers, switchgear, protection, thermal management, automation and plant-level control, you will ensure architectural coherence from the grid connection down to the battery and DC subsystem.

As a senior individual-contributor technical leader, you will bridge advanced research, product strategy and engineering implementation. Your work will shape future BESS products and technology roadmaps with higher efficiency, availability, safety, flexibility, scalability and lifecycle value, while addressing the rapidly evolving requirements of European power systems.

Your mission

• Future BESS Applications & System Requirements: Analyze future application requirements for utility-scale and C&I energy storage, including renewable co-location, PV + BESS, AI data centers, large industrial sites, and hybrid behind-the-meter and front-of-the-meter systems. Translate market and application trends into future system and product requirements.
• Next-Generation BESS Architecture: Research and develop advanced ESS/BESS architectures covering system topology, battery configuration, DC distribution, power conversion, protection, thermal management and system-level control. Explore new architectures to improve system efficiency, reliability, safety, power density, scalability and lifecycle value.
• AC/DC Coupling & Requirement Translation: Develop and optimize AC- and DC-coupled system architectures and translate grid-side and application requirements into DC-side specifications, including battery configuration, DC voltage/current range, DC/DC topology, PCS sizing, energy-to-power ratio, protection and control requirements.
• Grid Integration & System Control: Analyze grid codes and system requirements including active/reactive power capability, overload and short-circuit behavior, voltage and frequency support, power quality and grid-forming operation. Develop corresponding system architectures and coordinated control concepts for batteries, PCS, DC/DC converters and plant-level controllers.
• System Modeling & Architecture Optimization: Develop and apply system-level modeling, simulation and architecture evaluation methodologies using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD, PLECS, PowerFactory or equivalent platforms. Evaluate architecture alternatives and optimize efficiency, availability, lifetime, performance, scalability and total cost of ownership.
• System Integration & Validation: Drive cross-disciplinary integration of battery systems, PCS, DC/DC converters, protection and plant-level control. Support prototype development, CHIL/PHIL testing, system-level validation and engineering verification to bring new system concepts from research into practical product solutions.
• Technology Insights & Standardization: Track emerging technologies including high-voltage DC architectures, advanced PCS and DC/DC topologies, grid-forming BESS, multi-converter systems and hybrid energy storage. Follow relevant European grid codes, standards and standardization activities and provide technical insights for future product development.
