Power Systems / Electrical Engineer
Job Description
Working Conditions: Hybrid (4 days in office, 1 day remote)
Must Have Exp :
Strong background in power systems and electrical engineering.
Hands-on experience with inverter-to-battery integration (5 kVA – 25 kVA capacity, 5 kWh – 50 kWh battery systems).
Proven system-level debugging experience (not just wiring or power flow).
Practical exposure to high-voltage products in laboratory environments.
Firmware (FW) development and debugging experience in relevant energy systems.
Roles & Responsibilities
Participate in design and development of high-power solar/battery control systems.
Modify software in a Linux embedded environment.
Handle prototype bring-up, debugging, hardware bug tracking, functional verification, and signal characterization.
Develop and execute hardware and system test plans, including pre-compliance, environmental, and reliability testing.
Work directly with Contract Manufacturers in Asia and component suppliers to ensure quality deliverables.
Contribute to DFMEAs, Design for Quality (DFQ), and Design for Reliability (DFR).
Develop numerical simulations and data analysis techniques to support creation of control algorithms and decision-support software.
Create peer-to-peer energy sharing and demand-response schemes.
Prototype preventive maintenance decision-support software.
Develop methods to size energy systems under demand uncertainty.
Design fault diagnosis and failure prognosis algorithms.
Key Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (Master’s preferred).
5+ years of electrical design experience with digital, analog, and power electronic systems.
Deep knowledge of power conversion systems (converter, rectifier, inverter concepts).
Experience with Embedded Linux development, Device Trees, and Linux build systems (e.g., Buildroot).
Prior experience with solar or microgrid systems.
Extensive hands-on experience with lab instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, electronic loads, signal generators).
Experience developing digital/analog interfaces for PC-based test systems (Labview, Matlab-Simulink-Simscape, Altium, PLECS, Python).
Proficiency with numerical simulation software.
Familiarity with wireless technologies (Cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth).
Knowledge of XIL product development frameworks (MIL, SIL, PIL, HIL).
Familiar with international safety and EMC regulations (UL, ISO, IEC, FCC, NEC).
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, start-up / high-growth environment.
Physical Requirements
Ability to lift and carry items weighing up to 25 pounds.
Ability to stand, walk, and move around for extended periods.
Ability to climb ladders or stairs and work at heights.
