Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related discipline; postgraduate degree preferred.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in engineering, R&D, or project commissioning in power electronics, energy storage, microgrids, or related fields.
• Direct experience in inverter product development, control systems, or energy storage project commissioning preferred.
• Strong knowledge of electrical power systems, transformers, MV equipment, and grid interconnection.
• Experience collaborating with international partners and cross-functional teams.
• Hands-on approach to product validation and integration; proficiency in troubleshooting.

Aufgaben

• Conduct detailed technical due diligence on inverter, EMS, MVT, and related power-system products to ensure performance, safety, compliance, compatibility, and long-term reliability.
• Develop and maintain internal tools to support system sizing, product design, project development, and the evaluation of new opportunities, while enabling continuous improvement across existing product lines.
• Collaborate with R&D and technical teams to support design development, interface definition, validation testing, and platform roadmap alignment.
• Lead the evaluation of technical specifications, drawings, certifications, test reports, performance claims, and integration requirements; confirm alignment with the overall solution architecture and support cross-functional knowledge transfer.
• Support Independent Engineer reviews and customer-led technical due diligence by preparing documentation packages, addressing technical and compliance questions, and representing the internal design basis.
• Monitor and interpret evolving product standards, grid codes, electrical requirements, and communication protocols relevant to inverter, EMS, MVT, microgrid, and integrated energy-storage solutions, including applicable UL, IEEE, IEC, and regional requirements.
• Oversee the development and enhancement of internal engineering tools to support system modeling, product validation, and solution optimization efforts.
• Lead the technical review of new inverter, EMS, MVT, gas turbine, and related electrical products being evaluated for integration into our solutions, including technical specifications, drawings, equipment selection and sizing, certifications, calculations, performance data, and test results.
• Support the definition and review of electrical interfaces between the inverter, battery system, MVT, MV switchgear or protection equipment, auxiliary systems, EMS, and grid connection.
• Coordinate cross-functional communication to introduce new products to internal stakeholders, including engineering, project execution, and applications teams.
• Maintain traceability of vendor/product documentation, internal evaluations, and platform status through internal tools and documentation systems.
• Work closely with procurement, product management, and R&D teams to support alignment between product design, supplier capabilities, and commercial rollout.
• Coordinate parallel supplier and product workstreams, ensuring that technical dependencies, responsibilities, deliverables, and unresolved items are clearly documented.
• Participate in integration testing between the inverter skid, battery enclosure and BMS, EMS, MVT, auxiliary systems, and associated electrical equipment to support safe and reliable system operation.
• Lead internal discussions with engineering, product, and software teams to troubleshoot control strategies and support platform optimization.
• Provide technical input and coordination for project-specific requirements, custom feature requests, or client-specific configurations.
• Contribute to the development of internal documentation, reference templates, and knowledge-sharing tools that support consistent product execution across regions.
• Collaborate closely with global R&D and applications engineering teams to align on feature roadmaps and deployment readiness.
• Perform other related duties as assigned by management.
