We are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled Battery Storage Integration Engineer to join our engineering team supporting utility-scale solar + storage EPC projects. The role will focus on the design, integration, and performance optimization of battery energy storage systems (BESS) within utility-scale renewable projects. The engineer will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in engineering, procurement, construction, and operations to ensure safe, efficient, and cost-effective integration of energy storage systems.

  • Develop, review, and optimize technical designs for battery energy storage systems in coordination with solar PV plants and grid interconnection requirements.
  • Ensure compatibility of BESS with inverters, transformers, switchgear, SCADA, and grid control systems.
  • Conduct load flow, short circuit, and protection studies related to BESS integration.
  • Collaborate with OEMs and suppliers to specify battery technology, inverters, and other key equipment.
  • Provide technical guidance to project development and EPC teams on BESS scope, sizing, and system configurations.
  • Review vendor drawings, specifications, and submittals to ensure compliance with project and industry standards.
  • Support permitting and interconnection processes by preparing technical documentation and responding to utility/regulatory inquiries.
  • Participate in factory acceptance tests (FATs), commissioning, and performance testing of battery systems.
  • Perform modeling and simulations of BESS performance under varying grid and operating scenarios.
  • Analyze and optimize battery dispatch strategies for energy arbitrage, capacity, frequency response, and other ancillary services.
  • Monitor, assess, and troubleshoot operational issues to ensure optimal performance of integrated solar + storage systems.
  • Ensure compliance with all codes, standards, and safety requirements (NEC, IEEE, NFPA, UL, and local regulations).
  • Support the development of safety protocols and hazard analysis for BESS projects.
  • Work cross-functionally with project managers, procurement, and construction teams to ensure successful project execution.
  • Stay current with emerging battery technologies, standards, and market trends to continuously improve design and implementation.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Systems, or related field (Master’s preferred).
  • At least 3 years of BESS integration experience at a major BESS integrator in the US.
  • Proven BESS deployment experience in the US.
  • Direct working experience on BMS.
  • Strong hands-on experiences of lithium-ion batteries, inverters, PCS, EMS, and balance of plant systems.
  • Hands-on experience with commissioning and operations of BESS projects.
  • Familiarity with interconnection processes and utility requirements.
  • Experience with EPC project lifecycle from design through commissioning preferred.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Knowledge of hybrid solar + storage project integration.
  • Familiarity with SCADA, communication protocols, and grid control systems.
  • PE license or working toward licensure is a plus.
