This role specializes in power-side technologies — including inverter systems (central and string) and medium voltage transformer (MVT) equipment — and their integration within BESS platforms.
This role leads technical due diligence of third-party and in-house power conversion and medium voltage equipment, guides internal product development, and ensures compliance with certification and grid requirements. In addition, the Technical Solutions Manager will collaborate closely with engineering, business development, and execution teams to refine the product vision, lead internal technical resources, and drive development of internal tools that strengthen performance validation and enhance overall solution competitiveness.
Own the technical evaluation of power-side equipment, including inverters, power conversion systems, and medium-voltage transformer solutions
Support supplier qualification by reviewing technical proposals, comparing equipment options, and recommending suitable vendors or technologies
Work with engineering, product, procurement, and business development teams to shape power-side solution architecture for utility-scale BESS projects
Translate technical requirements, customer needs, and market feedback into product requirements, roadmap input, and solution development priorities
Support certification, compliance, and technical validation activities, including coordination with internal teams, suppliers, and independent engineers
Create and maintain clear technical documentation, specifications, evaluation records, and solution materials to support internal alignment and customer-facing activities
Provide technical guidance throughout product integration, commercialization, and field feedback cycles to improve solution performance and competitiveness

Requirements

Educational background in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Power Systems, or a related technical field
5+ years of experience in power electronics, inverters, power conversion systems, energy storage, or related electrical equipment
Strong understanding of inverter technologies, central or string inverters, medium-voltage equipment, and their integration into BESS or renewable energy systems
Experience with product development, applications engineering, commissioning, technical solution development, or equipment qualification
Familiarity with grid compliance, interconnection requirements, product validation, and relevant standards such as UL, IEEE, IEC, NFPA, or similar
Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to engineering, commercial, supplier, and customer-facing teams
Highly organized and collaborative, with the ability to lead cross-functional work across teams, time zones, suppliers, and stakeholders
