Product Lead - Energy Storage Systems

The Senior Product Lead is the technical owner of the Zinc Gel BESS product at system level
, responsible for defining how Zinc Gel behaves when deployed on real sites and connected to real grids.

This role sits above component-level engineering and below commercial strategy. It owns system architecture definition, integration logic, control behaviour, grid compliance interpretation, and deployment validation
, ensuring Zinc Gel can be repeatedly deployed by EPCs and integrators with predictable performance.

This role requires strong technical depth in BESS system engineering, grid-connected controls, and field deployment
.

• Define Zinc Gel system-level architecture (DC block, PCS coupling, AC topology, auxiliary systems).
• Specify operating envelopes
  : voltage windows, power/energy ratings, ramp rates, protection limits, and fault responses.
• Define product configurations (containerised, cabinet-based, modular blocks) and scalability rules.

• Own system control philosophy across BMS, PCS, EMS, and site SCADA layers.
• Define functional behaviour for grid-connected operation:
• grid-forming vs grid-following assumptions (where applicable)
• islanding, black start participation, and fault ride-through behaviour
• Specify interfaces and handshakes between Zinc Gel and third-party PCS / EMS vendors.

• Interpret IEC / UL / grid code requirements at system level and translate them into product requirements.
• Own compliance strategy (what is certified at cell, pack, rack, container, and system level).
• Define acceptance criteria for safety, performance, and availability.

• Lead technical definition and execution of pilots (100 kWh to multi-MWh).
• Define and execute FAT / SAT procedures
  , performance benchmarks, and reliability metrics.
• Diagnose field issues at system level (control interaction, protection trips, integration faults).

• Act as the technical authority for EPCs, system integrators, utilities, and certification bodies.
• Support early commercial projects by answering detailed system-level technical questions
  .
• Ensure learnings from field deployments are fed back into system specifications.

• 7+ years in BESS system engineering, grid-connected energy systems, or power infrastructure
  .
• Demonstrated experience deploying grid-connected BESS in real projects.
• Strong understanding of:
• BMS / PCS / EMS interactions
• grid interconnection requirements
• protection schemes and fault handling at system level
• Experience with FAT / SAT, commissioning, and field troubleshooting
  .

• BESS system engineer (integrator or OEM)
• Deployment / commissioning lead with strong system depth
• Power systems engineer transitioning into product ownership
