Hardware Systems Integration Engineer

The role

You will integrate BMS, inverter, and microgrid interconnect hardware into one residential energy system. You will own system architecture and electrical schematics and test the full system.

What you will do

• Integrate BMS, inverter, and microgrid interconnect hardware into one residential energy system.
• Own system architecture and electrical schematics across components.
• Test, validate, and debug integrated systems, from the bench to full-system setups.
• Work with firmware and controls engineers on hardware/software integration and control algorithms.
• Support certification by making sure the integrated system meets UL and IEEE requirements.

Required qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of hardware development, with heavy system integration work.
• Strong fundamentals: circuit analysis, analog and digital electronics, and high-voltage design.
• Power electronics: DC-DC and DC-AC converters, inverters, and grid-tie systems.
• Hands-on C/C++ or Python and protocols like CAN or Modbus.
• Comfort with test equipment and lab debugging.

Nice to have

• Li-ion or LFP battery systems: BMS design, charging, and safety systems.
• PCB design in Altium or KiCad, and simulation in LTspice or MATLAB/Simulink.
• UL 1741, IEEE 1547, and the NEC.
• Residential energy, solar, or smart home integration.
• Product certification and regulatory approvals.
