Background
We are looking for a Power System Engineer to work on the electrical design, system integration, and validation of our Battery Energy Storage Systems, known as BESS. This role covers power system design, component selection, supplier evaluation, and testing for BESS products, including batteries, PCS / converters, transformers, cables, busbars, switchgear, and monitoring/protection systems. The ideal candidate has experience in power system engineering and can work across both system-level electrical design and practical validation in a high-voltage environment.
Job Scope
- Develop electrical concepts, system requirements, and technical specifications for BESS products.
- Create single-line diagrams and perform power system studies such as load flow, voltage drop, short-circuit, and protection coordination analysis.
- Conduct battery sizing, transformer sizing, cable sizing, busbar sizing, and MV switchgear selection.
- Evaluate and integrate key electrical components such as PCS, converters, transformers, switchgear, sensors, and protection devices.
- Support high-voltage testing, electrical validation, troubleshooting, and supplier technical communication.
Requirements
- Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years of experience in power system engineering, electrical design, or BESS / renewable energy system development.
- Experience with power system studies, including load flow, voltage drop, short-circuit, or protection coordination analysis.
- Experience using ETAP, DIgSILENT, PVsyst, LTspice, HIL simulation, or similar engineering tools.
