The posting

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior BESS Inverter Performance Engineer based in the United States.

As a Senior BESS Inverter Performance Engineer, you will play a key role in improving the performance, reliability, and operational efficiency of utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS). You will investigate complex inverter-related issues, identify root causes, and coordinate corrective actions with technology vendors and engineering teams. Your work will involve evaluating software, firmware, control logic, hardware, and grid-related factors to ensure optimal system performance. You will also oversee retrofit implementation across multiple sites, monitoring deployment progress, validation results, risks, and resolution milestones. Working in a collaborative, innovation-driven renewable energy environment, you will partner with technical stakeholders to enhance system reliability and support continuous improvement. This remote opportunity offers the chance to contribute to large-scale energy storage projects and accelerate the transition toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future.

Accountabilities

  • Investigate, prioritize, and drive corrective actions for inverter-related performance issues across operational battery energy storage projects.
  • Conduct root cause analyses using operational data, event logs, site evidence, engineering principles, and technical reviews to distinguish between software, firmware, controls, hardware, design, and power system issues.
  • Collaborate with inverter vendors to establish corrective actions, define retrofit requirements, develop implementation plans, and agree on validation criteria and deployment schedules.
  • Maintain comprehensive vendor issue logs documenting investigation status, root causes, corrective actions, validation results, outstanding risks, and final resolution.
  • Review firmware updates, software releases, design changes, and proposed retrofits to assess their technical suitability, operational risks, and potential performance impacts.
  • Troubleshoot voltage regulation, frequency response, real power, and reactive power distribution issues, particularly where inverter behavior interacts with site conditions or grid requirements.
  • Coordinate retrofit rollouts across multiple sites, tracking affected assets, assigned owners, deployment status, validation evidence, risks, and closure criteria.
  • Use Excel, Smartsheet, or comparable tools to maintain issue trackers, retrofit schedules, deployment dashboards, and corrective action reports.
  • Communicate technical findings, recommendations, risks, and progress updates clearly to vendors, site teams, engineering stakeholders, and management.
  • Ensure all troubleshooting and corrective actions comply with applicable safety protocols, engineering standards, and organizational policies.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • At least five years of experience in renewable energy, battery energy storage systems, or a closely related technical field.
  • Strong knowledge of inverter operation, dispatch controls, firmware and software behavior, control logic, and hardware design considerations.
  • Experience diagnosing inverter or BESS performance issues using operational data, event logs, and technical evidence.
  • Understanding of power systems, including voltage control, frequency response, and real and reactive power behavior in grid-connected environments, is preferred.
  • Proven experience coordinating corrective actions or retrofit deployments across multiple sites, including schedule management, stakeholder follow-up, progress tracking, risk assessment, and closure reporting.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Smartsheet, or similar tools for technical issue tracking, deployment management, and reporting.
  • Knowledge of SCADA protocols such as DNP3 and Modbus.
  • Familiarity with industrial communication networks and technologies, including fiber optics, network switches, and TCP/IP.
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to investigate complex technical problems and manage multiple issues simultaneously.
  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, initiative, and consistent follow-through on technical deliverables.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical findings and recommendations to diverse stakeholders.
  • A collaborative mindset and commitment to safety, quality, ethical practices, innovation, and sustainability.
  • Willingness and ability to travel up to 20% of the time, including occasional travel on short notice.
  • Competitive compensation: Annual base salary ranging from $100,000 to $140,000, plus performance-based bonus opportunities.
  • Comprehensive benefits: Access to health coverage and a range of employee benefits.
  • Retirement plans: Retirement benefits to support long-term financial well-being.
  • Paid time off: Paid leave to support personal needs and work-life balance.
  • Remote work flexibility: The opportunity to work remotely from the United States.
  • Professional development: Opportunities to expand technical expertise and develop your career in the renewable energy and energy storage sectors.
  • Meaningful work: Contribute to utility-scale energy storage projects that improve grid reliability and enable greater integration of renewable energy.
  • Collaborative culture: Work alongside multidisciplinary teams and technology partners in an environment that values innovation, integrity, quality, and customer focus.
  • Inclusive workplace: Join a team committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect for different backgrounds and perspectives.
