Senior Electrical Engineer, Energy Storage

The role

The Senior Electrical Engineer, Energy Storage designs and develops system controller hardware for high-power electromechanical products. This includes power converters that interface with battery packs, PV systems, and the grid for large-scale energy storage.

What you will do

• Own low-voltage electrical system architecture for power electronics products
• Design and integrate system controller hardware including MCU selection and communication protocols
• Design isolated sensing circuits and auxiliary power supply architecture
• Design and coordinate protective circuits including breaker/contactor drivers and E-stop loops
• Define LV wiring architecture, grounding, and interconnect strategy
• Lead electrical testing and validation for system controller PCBA and complete products
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and achieve industry certifications

Required qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, with a focus on embedded systems, controls, or power electronics
• 3–5 years of experience in electrical engineering, with a strong focus on system-level control architecture for power conversion or energy storage products
• Hands-on experience designing MCU-based system controllers
• Experience with industrial communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet)
• Deep understanding of protection coordination
• Proficiency with circuit simulation/CAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer, LTspice, Simulink)
• Ability to lay out control PCBs in noise-sensitive, high-power environments
• Proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers, signal generators)
