Role Descritpion
We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to play a critical role in the electrical design, power conversion, and system integration of battery stacks and containerized energy systems. This position is intended for an experienced professional who will act as a technical reference for electrical architecture, power electronics integration, and robustness of both stack modules and container-level systems. The role sits at a key interface between component-level electrical design and overall system integration. The Senior Electrical Engineer will work closely with the Head of Product and the automation team, ensuring coherent integration of power conversion units, electrical distribution, protection systems, and control interfaces.
The position combines hands-on electrical design, system engineering judgment, and cross-functional coordination, supporting the transition from laboratory and pilot-scale systems to industrialized containerized solutions.
Responsibilities
Lead electrical design of battery systems (power distribution, wiring, interfaces)
Define electrical architecture at stack and container level
Design and integrate power conversion systems (DC/DC, DC/AC, bidirectional)
Collaborate with automation engineers on sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces
Interface with Head of Product on system layout, integration, and scalability
Ensure compliance with electrical standards, safety, and grid requirements
Perform analyses on power flows, efficiency, losses, grounding, and protection systems
Support DFM, DFA, and serviceability from an electrical perspective
Define electrical standards, guidelines, and best practices
Support prototyping, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting
Contribute to product roadmap and system-level decisions
Qualifications
MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Conversion Engineering, or related field
6+ years in electrical design of complex systems (energy storage, power electronics, or similar)
Strong experience in power conversion and electrical system architecture
Experience with grid-connected systems and standards
Experience in multidisciplinary R&D; and Engineering environments
Strong problem-solving and engineering judgment
Ability to combine hands-on work with system-level thinking
Excellent written and spoken English
