Our cutting‑edge solutions enable unparalleled “time‑to‑power” capabilities, reliability, and sustainability, ensuring our customers remain ahead in a world where soaring energy demand and intensifying energy scarcity are rapidly becoming the new norm. At Bloom, we thrive on collaboration, bold thinking, and relentless innovation.

We believe that, together, we can create a brighter, more sustainable future while tackling the most pressing challenges of the 21st century.

We are seeking an experienced Sr. Staff Electrical Engineer to lead the development, integration, and certification of utility‑interactive power conversion systems incorporating medium‑and large‑scale power electronics, grid‑forming/grid‑following inverters, and low‑voltage power distribution equipment. The engineer will serve as the technical bridge between power electronics, switch gear, controls, protection, compliance, product safety, and other cross functional teams. The role involves the development of inverter‑based energy systems operating at 480 Vac with integrated switchboards rated up to 6000 A, supporting grid‑parallel, islanded, and microgrid applications.

The candidate will be responsible for detailed system design, electrical architecture, protection schemes, and validation plans while ensuring successful certification to UL, IEEE, NEC, and applicable IEC standards. The ideal candidate possesses strong knowledge of power electronics, power systems, switchboard design, grid interconnection requirements, protection coordination, and certification activities associated with commercial and utility‑scale inverter systems. This role will report to Sr.
