- Design electrical systems for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
- Select and evaluate power conversion systems and grid-connected inverters.
- Design electrical distribution systems, transformers and grid interfaces.
- Prepare electrical engineering requirements, schematics and electrical layouts.
- Define system architecture and electrical interfaces.
- Lead system engineering activities throughout the product development lifecycle.
- Drive concept investigations and evaluate technical alternatives.
- Integrate deliveries from multiple engineering disciplines.
- Secure implementation of system and non-functional requirements.
- Support specification, implementation and verification activities.
- Manage technical interfaces across development teams.
- Contribute to technical roadmaps and future system architecture.
- Ensure quality and readiness before system releases.
- Coach and support other engineers within the team.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 8+ years of experience within electrical system design or power systems.
