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.
10+ 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

Architect & Design: Define system-level architecture and decompose functionality across subsystems (e.g., BMS, power electronics, controls), clearly allocating hardware and software responsibilities.
Model & Analyze: Develop and maintain system-level models and simulations (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, HIL) to optimize performance, safety, and reliability.
Integrate & Collaborate: Work closely with hardware, firmware, software, and test teams to ensure seamless integration across components and HIL environments.
Test & Validate: Create test plans, execute validation protocols, and troubleshoot issues to ensure systems meet UL/industry standards and performance criteria.
Requirements Management: Own the end-to-end system requirements process—from capturing and tracing to verifying specifications throughout the development lifecycle.
Safety & Compliance: Contribute to functional safety analysis and compliance with relevant standards (e.g., ISO 26262, UL 2580), ensuring rigorous design reviews and documentation.
Stakeholder Support: Translate complex system data into actionable insights for internal teams and external customers, providing expert technical guidance.
Continuous Improvement: 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).
Project Leadership: Lead small to mid-scale projects—setting technical direction, managing milestones and budgets, and aligning execution with strategic priorities.
Hands-On Development Support: 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. Help translate system models and requirements into physical configurations and testable prototypes.
