Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of our proprietary ZincGel battery energy storage systems (BESS). The role requires end-to-end expertise – from cell-level design to integration, field deployment, and lifecycle management. The candidate will drive system architecture, identify and collaborate with subsystem providers, and ensure robust performance in both low-voltage and high-voltage applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the full-stack design of ESS : from pack design, enclosure, safety systems, and field deployment.
- Architect both low-voltage (LV) and high-voltage (HV) battery systems for stationary applications.
- Define and validate specifications for battery packs, power electronics, protection systems, and communication interfaces.
- Evaluate and select subsystem providers (BMS, inverter, EMS, thermal, safety, control) ensuring interoperability and reliability.
- Develop and validate models and algorithms for State of Health (SoH) and State of Charge (SoC) determination.
- Lead prototyping, testing, and certification of systems to meet relevant safety and performance standards (IEC, UL, grid codes).
- Collaborate with manufacturing and field teams for seamless scaling, deployment, and maintenance.
- Stay updated with the latest in cell chemistries, power electronics, and ESS integration trends.
