We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Design Engineer to serve as a subject matter expert (SME) across our portfolio of commercial, industrial, utility-scale, and microgrid projects (100kW to 100MW). This role requires hands-on technical design guiding the development and integration of BESS as standalone systems or in conjunction with solar PV and other distributed energy resources
Key Responsibilities
- Design Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), including SLDs, layouts, and system integration plans for utility-scale and C&I projects.
- Perform BESS sizing, battery/inverter selection, and system feasibility studies.
- Conduct electrical calculations such as voltage drop, fault level, and load flow.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable codes and standards such as BIS, UL 9540, NFPA, etc.
- Model system behavior for performance, lifecycle, and safety scenarios
- Participate in client-facing technical meetings to explain design decisions and system performance expectations.
- Contribute to technical proposals, project scope development, and preliminary design packages.
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of BESS technologies, codes, and industry trends.
- Conduct technical reviews of peer work to ensure quality and compliance.
- Assist with field support and site assessments on an as-needed basis.
Qualifications and Requirement:
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field.
- 5 years of experience in the solar, storage, or microgrid industry, including 3 years focused on BESS design and integration.
- Strong knowledge of Lithium-Ion Battery design and integration as Microgrid
- Proficiency with AutoCAD, modelling tools, and control system concepts.
- Deep understanding of energy storage applications including peak shaving, time-of-use shifting, demand management.
- Familiarity with microgrid design, including PV+storage+genset configurations and control architecture.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to interface with clients, utilities, and cross-functional engineering teams.
