This role focuses on facilitating deployments, ensuring the seamless integration of EMS software, data systems, and hardware, and providing hands-on support for both factory acceptance testing (FAT) and project onboarding.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Electrical Engineering, or related field.
In-depth understanding of industrial communication protocols (Modbus TCP/RTU, DNP3), data mapping, and device integration.
Solid foundation in networking (routing, VLANs, STP, NAT, firewall rules) and industrial switch configuration (Cisco, Hirschmann, Moxa, etc.).
Proficiency in Python for automation and data workflows, and C++ for EMS integration and hardware interfacing.
Experience working with SCADA/EMS platforms, protocol gateways, or middleware.
Strong problem-solving, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Willingness to travel for FAT, SAT, and commissioning activities.
Willingness and ability to travel up to 40% national and internationally to project sites and vendor facilities.

Responsibilities

Coordinate the deployment of EMS software and data pipelines in both factory (FAT) and field project environments.
Act as the primary interface between data, software, and hardware teams, ensuring smooth integration of EMS software, data systems, and site infrastructure.
Work closely with the software and controls team to support end-to-end data validation from field devices to EMS.
Implement Layer 2/3 switch configurations, VLANs, routing, and firewall policies to support redundant and deterministic communication.
Validate communication architectures using a wide range of protocols, including Modbus TCP/RTU, DNP3, IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, OPC UA.
Configure communication networks for EMS systems in BESS and hybrid renewable plants.
Review and update communication diagrams and data flow diagrams.
Validate software and hardware architecture per project requirements.
Oversee data pipeline operations, ensuring accurate ingestion, transformation, and storage of time-series telemetry, alarms, and metadata.
Validate data mapping and integration between EMS, SCADA, inverters, BMS, and analytics platforms.
Support the continuous improvement of data quality, reliability, and scalability across projects.
Develop and maintain scripts (e.g. Python, Bash, PowerShell) for device configuration and testing, diagnostics, etc.
