Principal EV Charging

Company: DynaChrg Inc.

Location: Calabasas, California — On-site

Employment Type: Full-Time

DynaChrg develops intelligent EV charging and energy-management technology for charge point operators, property owners, fleets, utilities, and public-sector customers. Our EVES™ platform enables multi-vendor charger management, real-time monitoring, charging transactions, remote operations, energy optimization, dynamic charging control, and grid-aware services.

DynaChrg is seeking a senior-level EV charging engineer with deep, hands-on experience integrating commercial EV charging equipment with Charging Station Management Systems (CSMS) using OCPP .

This role owns the charger-facing technical integration layer of DynaChrg's EVES™ platform , including evaluating, onboarding, integrating, qualifying, validating, and supporting commercial AC Level 2 and DC fast-charging equipment across multiple manufacturers.

The ideal candidate has personally worked with:

• Commercial EVSE hardware
• Charger firmware and configuration
• OCPP communications
• CSMS/backend connectivity
• Charger interoperability and networking
• EVSE qualification and validation
• OEM technical integration
• Production troubleshooting

This is a systems integration and interoperability role—not an EV charging construction, installation, or electrical-infrastructure design role.

• 5+ years of relevant professional engineering, systems integration, EV charging product, or technical product experience.
• Minimum 3 years of direct, hands-on professional EVSE-to-CSMS integration experience in commercial EV charging.
• Deep hands-on professional experience with OCPP 1.6J , including analyzing and troubleshooting charger-to-CSMS message flows.
• Experience with commercial AC Level 2 and/or DC fast chargers .
• Experience reviewing and troubleshooting OCPP messages, charger logs, CSMS/backend logs, telemetry, protocol traces, and/or network traffic .
• Ability to diagnose problems across charger hardware, firmware, configuration, networking, OCPP, and CSMS/backend behavior .
• Experience with EVSE interoperability testing, qualification, validation, or production support.
• Experience working directly with EVSE OEM engineering/technical teams .
• Ability to work full-time on-site in Calabasas, California , or relocate to the Greater Los Angeles area.

Experience primarily in EV charging site deployment, charger installation, construction, electrical design, utility coordination, power systems, load calculations, site assessments, or general commissioning does NOT substitute for direct EVSE-to-CSMS/OCPP integration experience.

General software, telecommunications, IoT, battery-storage, or automotive EV experience without professional commercial EVSE integration experience also does not meet the core requirement.

We specifically need an engineer who has personally worked inside the charger-to-CSMS integration layer and can determine why a charger and backend are not behaving as expected.

• Lead integration of commercial EVSE with DynaChrg's EVES™ platform.
• Configure, validate, and troubleshoot OCPP 1.6J communications.
• Support and expand OCPP 2.0.1 integrations.
• Analyze charger-to-CSMS message flows and expected versus actual charger behavior.
• Troubleshoot OCPP functionality including BootNotification, Heartbeat, Authorize, Start/StopTransaction, TransactionEvent, StatusNotification, MeterValues, remote commands, configuration, diagnostics, firmware management, charging profiles, and fault handling.
• Review OCPP messages, charger/backend logs, telemetry, protocol traces, and network captures.
• Identify charger-specific OCPP deviations, firmware limitations, configuration issues, and interoperability constraints.
• Reproduce integration/production issues and perform root-cause analysis.
• Document known issues, workarounds, firmware/configuration requirements, and OEM escalation paths.

• Evaluate commercial AC Level 2 and DC fast chargers for EVES™ compatibility.
• Lead technical onboarding of new charger manufacturers, models, and firmware releases.
• Review charger hardware, firmware, configuration, communications, networking, metering, security, and backend requirements.
• De
