System Engineer

Toyota Material Handling • Town of Henrietta, NY

130d • $118,500 - $152,000

About The Position

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and innovative Energy Storage Solutions Systems Engineer to lead the development of cutting-edge energy storage systems. In this role, you'll define system requirements, shape architecture models, and support validation efforts using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platforms and real hardware systems in the lab and vehicle. You’ll collaborate with a dynamic, cross-functional team of experts to deliver high-performance, safe, and reliable solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical or systems engineering, ideally within energy storage or related domains.
• Demonstrated success in the design and development of energy storage systems.
• Deep understanding of battery technologies, power electronics, and control systems.
• Proficiency in modeling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink).
• Strong problem-solving skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Effective communicator with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
• Experience with high-voltage systems.
• Familiarity with safety and compliance standards related to energy storage (e.g., UL, ISO).
• Background in systems modeling and simulation.
• Proven project management capabilities—planning, execution, and delivery.
• Experience with communication protocols like CAN/CANopen.

Responsibilities

• Define system-level architecture and decompose functionality across subsystems (e.g., BMS, power electronics, controls), clearly allocating hardware and software responsibilities.
• Develop and maintain system-level models and simulations (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, HIL) to optimize performance, safety, and reliability.
• Work closely with hardware, firmware, software, and test teams to ensure seamless integration across components and HIL environments.
• Create test plans, execute validation protocols, and troubleshoot issues to ensure systems meet UL/industry standards and performance criteria.
• Own the end-to-end system requirements process—from capturing and tracing to verifying specifications throughout the development lifecycle.
• Contribute to functional safety analysis and compliance with relevant standards (e.g., ISO 26262, UL 2580), ensuring rigorous design reviews and documentation.
• Translate complex system data into actionable insights for internal teams and external customers, providing expert technical guidance.
• Stay at the forefront of energy storage innovations. Propose and implement enhancements to workflows, tools, and team processes (e.g., ECN workflows, Jira templates, decision databases).
• Lead small to mid-scale projects—setting technical direction, managing milestones and budgets, and aligning execution with strategic priorities.
• Collaborate directly with development and test engineers to set up, operate, and analyze real hardware platforms, including lab bench systems, vehicle interfaces, and diagnostic tools.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary
• Performance Bonus
• Generous Paid Time Off and 13 Paid Holidays
• Affordable Medical plans and no-cost Dental & Vision options
• 100% 401(k) match up to 6%
• Company-Paid Life Insurance, Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability
• Tuition Assistance Program
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with access to mental health care, legal support, and financial guidance
• Recognition and Kaizen (continuous improvement) Reward Programs
• Meaningful opportunities for personal and professional development
• Best in class work culture!
