Job description

Sr Electrical Engineer – EV Power Systems & Energy Integration

The Sr Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and validation of medium-voltage electrical systems and components used in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and commercial electric vehicle (EV) platforms.

About our Client, Coulomb Solutions Inc. (CSI):

At Coulomb Solutions Inc., we are on a mission to help transform the world by enabling the fast adoption of commercial electric vehicles powered by green, sustainable energy. As a leading supplier of lithium-iron-phosphate battery systems and EV components, CSI is at the forefront of advancing technologies that are shaping the future of transportation. Headquartered in Livermore, CA, we are expanding our manufacturing footprint, and we want YOU to be part of our growing, dynamic team!

Why CSI?

• Join an exciting, innovative company dedicated to environmental sustainability.
• Work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment that values your input and ideas.
• Contribute to the transition to a pollution-free planet while advancing your career.

The Role

The Sr Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and validation of medium-voltage electrical systems and components used in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and commercial electric vehicle (EV) platforms. The role focuses on component design, development, validation, and system integration of components such as inverters, converters, wiring harnesses, transformers, charging systems, and power distribution equipment.

The Senior Electrical Engineer will work on the development of both EV-related systems and stationary energy systems. Vehicle systems include new electric drive systems for heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks, buses, boats, trains, port equipment, airport GSE, and other commercial vehicle applications. CSI also develops a line of BESS products to support transportable vehicle charging and grid support at temporary power locations.

The ideal candidate will possess strong experience in heavy-duty vehicle systems and BESS functionality, including grid charging, grid-forming and grid-following applications, export power, AC grid interaction, hybrid energy architectures, and compliance with industry standards such as UL1973, UL9540/UL9540A, and UL508.

Drive the Future of Commercial Vehicle Electrification

Are you ready to electrify the transportation industry? We’re looking for a passionate and innovative Electrical Design Engineer to help shape the future of electrified commercial vehicles. This is more than a job—it’s your chance to collaborate with forward-thinking customers and help bring cutting‑edge electrical components to life.

As a key member of our Electrification Engineering Team, you’ll lead the design and validation of high‑voltage electrical components—from battery energy storage systems to HV junction boxes, controllers, inverters, heaters, harnesses, and more. You’ll work hand‑in‑hand with customers, suppliers, and internal experts to accelerate the development and application of advanced electrification solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and validate medium‑voltage (12–2000V) electrical subsystems for use in EV power platforms and stationary energy solutions.
• Specify and integrate components including inverters, converters, power distribution units, transformers, AC‑DC and DC‑DC power modules, charging systems, lithium and sodium batteries, power distribution panels, and harnesses/connectors.
• Ensure all designs comply with relevant industry standards and certifications, including UL1973, UL508, UL9540A, and applicable grid codes.
• Conduct electrical system‑level calculations including load flow, short‑circuit analysis, fault protection, thermal analysis, and grounding strategies.
• Interpret AC grid requirements and apply system‑level knowledge to the integration of CSI products into customer applications.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including schematics, interface specifications, wiring diagrams, test plans, and validation reports.
• Support testing and commissioning activities, including field validation, issue troubleshooting, and system optimization.
• Participate in cross‑functional collaboration with mechanical, software, and controls engineers, as well as suppliers and customers.
• Support cost estimation, BOM development, and trade‑off analysis for component selection and system design.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior engineers and technicians as required.
• Maintain awareness of emerging industry standards, energy technologies, and competitive systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or other technology‑related field required. Master’s degree or higher preferred.
• Minimum 5 years (7–10 preferred) of professional experience in medium‑voltage electrical system design or energy system integration.
• Knowledge of high‑power electrical systems for both mobile and stationary applications.
• Experience working with battery energy storage systems (BESS), microgrids, and high‑power vehicle charging systems.
• Knowledge of medium‑voltage (600–1000V) safety and design standards.
• Experience with commercial EVs, heavy‑duty vehicle electrification, or mobile power systems.
• Exposure to renewable energy systems such as solar, wind, and generator‑hybrid systems.
• Familiarity with UL certification processes, including UL1973, UL9540A, and UL508.
• Proficiency in electrical design tools and simulation platforms such as AutoCAD Electrical, PLECS, Simulink, and MATLAB.

Physical Job Requirements

The position is expected to access, enter, and retrieve data using a computer terminal. The role also requires hands‑on operation and use of laboratory testing and prototyping equipment. Some lifting of test equipment and battery modules will be required.

Location

This position is on‑site in Livermore, California.
