Senior Systems Engineer - Electrical Power Systems & Team Lead

Req

Remote Position:
Yes

Region:
Americas

Country: USA

We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Systems Engineer & Engineering Team Lead to define our technical foundation, architect our next-generation power solutions, and lead our multi-disciplinary engineering design team.

In this pivotal role, you will own the end-to-end systems engineering lifecycle—bridging the gap between product management requirements and physical engineering execution. You will drive the architecture of our multi‑MW modular infrastructure, up to Medium Voltage (MV), ensuring our modular solutions are safe, highly resilient, and optimized for rapid deployment.

• Lead a Multidisciplinary Team: Direct, mentor, and build a high‑performing design team consisting of electrical, mechanical, and controls/software engineers.

• Engineering Governance: Establish robust engineering workflows, design standards, and enforce peer‑review processes to ensure institutional quality and safety.

• Resource & Project Coordination: Collaborate with Project Management to assign engineering resources, manage design schedule, and achieve timely product deliverables.

• Requirements Ownership: Translate high‑level market requirements (MRDs) into rigorous, traceable system‑level technical requirements, functional specifications, and interface control documents (ICDs).

• System‑Level Architecture: Oversee the architecture and development of robust 3‑phase electrical power distribution systems. Define the electrical, mechanical, thermal, and logical boundaries and interfaces.

• Verification & Validation (V&V): Formulate comprehensive verification matrices, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) protocols, and field commissioning guidelines to validate system performance.

• Critical Component Integration: Evaluate, specify, and select heavy electrical subsystems including high‑capacity double‑conversion UPS systems, static transfer switches (STS), switch gear, protective relays, and other critical subsystems.

• Engineering Studies: Direct and review system modeling analyses, including short‑circuit, protective relay coordination, arc flash, and harmonic mitigation studies.

• Compliance Alignment: Ensure all system architectures natively comply with industry‑defining standards (e.g., UL 9540A for BESS, UL 891/1558 for switch gear, NFPA 70/70E, and CE/IEC equivalents).

• DFX (Design for X): Partner with manufacturing and service teams to optimize designs for manufacturability, transportability, and fast field installation.

• Power Systems: Expert‑level mastery of 3‑phase AC/DC power systems, MV/LV power conversion topologies, utility protection schemes, and grounding methods.

• Systems Engineering: Hands‑on experience with systems engineering frameworks, specifically boundary diagrams, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and requirements traceability matrices.

• Grid Connection: Strong familiarity with utility interconnection requirements and power quality standards.

• Electrical Modeling: Proficiency with industry‑standard simulation software (e.g., ETAP, SKM Power Tools, or Easy Power).

• Systems & Design Tools: Familiarity with PLM software, requirements management tools, and CAD collaboration workflows (e.g., Solid Works/AutoCAD Electrical).

• Duties of this position are performed in a normal office environment.

• Duties may require extended periods of sitting and sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor or on numbers and other detailed data.

• Repetitive manual movements (e.g., data entry, using a computer mouse, using a calculator, etc.) are frequently required.

• Occasional travel may be required.

The stated range includes Base Salary. A comprehensive benefits package is offered in addition to this range.
