Key Responsibilities

System Integration & Commissioning

Lead end-to-end installation and commissioning of EV fast chargers and BESS units, operating independently after onboarding or alongside field technicians as needed. Diagnose and troubleshoot PLCs and embedded controls (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or similar platforms). Integrate sensors, controllers, power electronics, and communication protocols into fully functioning systems. Participate in FAT, SAT, and UAT activities to validate system readiness and performance. Create detailed documentation on integration steps, site parameters, and test outcomes.

Maintenance & Quality Control

Perform weekly and annual maintenance activities to keep systems operating reliably. Support QC testing for new deployments and upgrades, ensuring all equipment meets engineering and safety expectations. Review performance data, pinpoint root causes of issues, and apply corrective measures. Develop preventive maintenance procedures and contribute recommendations to strengthen long-term system health.

Electrical Design & Project Coordination

Interpret electrical drawings, SLAs, and single-line diagrams to support planning and field execution (200+ SLAs). Work closely with project managers to ensure field work aligns with design requirements. Coordinate with electrical contractors and oversee site work to ensure compliance with safety codes, project specs, and schedules. Identify on-site deviations and update as-built documentation with accurate redlines.

On-Call & Field Support

Provide on-call technical support in partnership with Customer Support for deployed systems. Troubleshoot high-priority issues remotely or on-site, ensuring quick and effective resolution. Prepare detailed field reports, visit summaries, and technical documentation for internal and client use.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

Partner with engineering, manufacturing, and external teams to support knowledge sharing and product evolution. Offer field insights to help refine system design and enhance overall reliability. Participate in, and at times lead, special projects focused on integration, validation, or process optimization.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Science, or a related discipline. 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering, hardware integration, or system commissioning. Background in energy systems, industrial controls, or electrical power systems. Strong PLC programming skills (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or comparable tools). Experience with scripting/automation tools (Python, Bash, etc.) for testing and diagnostics. Ability to interpret schematics, blueprints, and wiring diagrams with accuracy. Skilled in reviewing and producing electrical packages and single-line diagrams. Familiarity with communication protocols including Modbus, CAN, TCP/IP, and OPC-UA. Proficient with Microsoft Office and data analysis software. Strong hands-on troubleshooting abilities with high-voltage equipment. Excellent communication, reporting, and project coordination skills. Able to work independently and handle extensive travel across North America. Comfortable participating in an on-call rotation during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Adaptable, resourceful, and energised by technical challenges.

Why Join Us?

You'll be part of a high-impact engineering team building the future of energy storage and EV infrastructure. This is a role where your work directly shapes system performance, customer experience, and product evolution. If you're looking for a career that mixes innovation, problem-solving, and real-world field action--this is it.
