We are hiring two Battery Application Engineers to join the newly established Battery Application Engineering Team in Westborough, MA. Each engineer will serve as a primary technical resource for LGES Vertech’s ESS product lines, supporting both AC and DC LINKs. AC and DC LINKs are LGES’s enclosure-based systems with AC LINK integrating both inverters and batteries into a single enclosure while the DC LINK integrates batteries in a single enclosure.

Primary focus areas – AC or DC – will be determined based on each individual’s background and strengths.

This is a product-focused technical role. For either product, the engineer builds a broad understanding of LGES developed battery products and serves as the US team’s internal technical resource on battery system characteristics. In addition, the hired engineer is expected to have subject matter expertise in one or more of the areas: (a) battery cells (b) DC/AC electrical systems (c) mechanical/structural/civil engineering (d) SW/controls.

The role focuses on enabling internal Sales Engineering, Project Engineering, and System Engineering teams with clear, execution-ready technical guidance and solving complex issues that arise from the integration of AC and DC LINKs in projects.

• AC/DC LINK products:
  Develop working knowledge of AC and DC LINKs—including product architecture, key performance parameters, electrical systems, mechanical/structural characteristics and BMS behavior—and serve as the US team's go-to resource for product technical questions. In addition, become a subject matter expert in one of the above four areas mentioned i.e. (a) battery cells (b) DC/AC electrical systems (c) mechanical/structural/civil engineering (d) SW/controls. Since the AC LINK provides AC power, the person hired will need to understand how the AC LINK satisfies grid code requirements (e.g. LVRT, Frequency response), performs Grid Following/Grid Forming functions, enables Black start, etc.
• Serve as the internal technical resource for assigned BESS product lines—answering inquiries, supporting proposals, and clarifying product specifications for internal Sales Engineering, Project Engineering, and System Engineering teams.
• Build and maintain standardized product documentation:
