  • Design and simulate system models using tools such as MATLAB/ Simulink/CAD or equivalent software to analyze system dynamics, validate control strategies, and predict system behavior.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including cell engineering, electrical engineering, software, and system integration, to integrate control algorithms into energy storage system hardware and software platforms.
  • Conduct system-level testing and validation to verify control algorithm functionality, performance, and compliance with project requirements and industry standards.
  • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement in control strategies, system models, and simulation tools to enhance the overall performance and capabilities of battery energy storage systems.
  • Provide technical expertise and support to internal teams and external partners on control system design, modeling, and simulation-related matters.
  • Stay informed about advancements in controls engineering, systems modeling, and energy storage technologies, and integrate relevant insights into the development and optimization of energy storage solutions.
  • A great team spirit and get-it-done attitude. No job is too big or too small.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field
  • 10+ years of experience in controls engineering, systems modeling, and simulation, preferably in the battery or energy storage industry.
  • Strong proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink/CAD or equivalent software for control system design, simulation, and modeling.
  • Solid understanding of control theory, including classical and modern control techniques, as well as experience with PID control, state-space control, and model predictive control.
  • Familiarity with battery energy storage systems, power electronics, and grid integration technologies is highly desirable.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders.
  • Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, real-time simulation, and rapid prototyping tools is a plus.
  • Passion for renewable energy, sustainability, and driving positive environmental impact through technology innovations.
  • Eligible to work in the U.S.
