Senior Power Systems Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities :

Perform Core/system level electrical design for customer’s grid-scale battery energy storage (BESS) products. This role will be focused on developing hardware designs that are safe, flexible, maintainable, and cost competitive. Responsibilities will include: 

• Develop requirements and electrical design for multi-MW energy storage systems integrating battery, power conversion, transformer to medium voltage, controls hardware, communication, auxiliary power, and safety equipment into standardized products. 

• Prepare product technical information including key performance metrics, datasheets, and configuration limitations. Support Sales Engineering team in incorporating into customer’s technical sales tools. 

• Ensure collaboration between different functions within the organization to achieve project goals, which include mechanical, Electrical, Software, verification and testing and manufacturing. 

• Responsible for product integration, ensuring all functions and features fit together. 

• Should have full understanding of how different energy storage system components interact and be able to define tasks needed to implement a change on any of the components. 

• Support development of product manuals and other documentation related to product installation, operations, and maintenance. Prepare system level interface documentation and site design guides for use by customers and internal stakeholders. 

• Oversee and at times perform electrical studies as part of system design, including short circuit analysis, protection sizing, protection coordination, and arc flash. 

• Evaluate and review product safety standards and local codes; support compliance process to obtain system level product certifications. 

• Work with electrical component vendors to evaluate, select, and collect detailed technical information on system subcomponents. 

• Obtain feedback on product design from regional project development teams, construction managers, commissioning teams, and services teams to incorporate experience and lessons learned into the product design. 

• Collaborate with manufacturing, procurement, and product management to release product design iterations using product lifecycle management tools. Direct CAD drafting team in preparation of system level electrical drawings packages and provide design inputs. 

• Support hardware testing, test plan development, testing strategy, and prototype evaluations. 

• Collaborate with systems engineers, component lead engineers, product managers, and program manager on the program team(s) you are assigned to support. This role will typically be assigned to own or support system level electrical design for a specific product program(s) 

• Define tasks need to complete New Product Introduction (NPI) projects. 

• Review and drive lesson learned and stakeholder feedback to conclusion. 

• Provide leadership with high integrity and oversight of processes, protecting intellectual property, export controlled and strategic technology. 

• Work towards continuous process improvements, especially with respect to achieving product functional requirement and process effectiveness. 

• Collaborate in a team environment and/or take charge of opportunities to develop optimal solutions for the product development programs. 

• Perform additional responsibilities as assigned.
