Senior PCS & Inverter Lead Engineer

Fluidstack; Austin (TX); Presencial; USD 150 000 - 230 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Fluidstack seeks a systems-focused engineer to own the power conversion layer across storage and solar projects at scale. You will specify PCS/inverter platforms, validate vendor bids, and ensure field-ready performance across gigawatt installations.

Applicants should have hands-on experience taking power conversion from specification to energized operation, with a track record in grid-forming or islanded plant dynamics, and a commitment to engineering rigor and safety.

Qualificações

• You've taken power conversion from specification to energized and dispatching on grid-scale storage or solar.
• You've written an inverter or PCS specification that a vendor bid against, then held that vendor to it.
• You've debugged converter behavior in the field from scope traces, power quality captures and event records.
• You've specified or validated grid-forming operation on a plant that has to survive islanded.
• You've carried a failure from a field symptom to a change in the standard design, not just to a site-level workaround.
• You write clearly enough that an OEM engineer, a commissioning agent and a CEO each get the decision they need out of the same document.
• Bonus: Grid-forming control and EMT validation, converter design at the hardware level, certifications (UL/IEEE) and named PCS platforms.

Responsabilidades

• Own the power conversion layer across storage and solar, PCS and inverter topology, DC architecture, filtering and the interface across gigawatt sites.
• Write the PCS and inverter specifications for vendor bids and enforce performance in field deployments.
• Set converter-level control requirements for firm load, grid-forming and grid-following operation, ride-through and reactive capability.
• Lead conversion-side energization and commissioning in the field, including first charge/discharge and islanding tests.
• Root-cause converter trips and firmware regressions; propagate fixes into the standard design.
