  • Support customer technical meetings, design reviews, factory visits, product demonstrations, and project qualification discussions.
  • Capture customer feedback, application issues, market requirements, and product improvement opportunities.
  • Provide technical handoff support from sales phase to project execution, manufacturing, commissioning, and service teams.
  • Assist with troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and field support coordination for application-related issues.
  • Maintain strong knowledge of competitive products, market requirements, codes, standards, and application trends in solar and energy storage.
  • Help develop standard tools, templates, calculators, and documentation to improve application engineering efficiency.

Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in applications engineering, utility-scale renewable/BESS project engineering, product/R&D engineering, systems engineering, field engineering, or technical support.
  • Experience with solar inverters, PCS, battery energy storage systems, power electronics, electrical equipment, or grid-connected energy systems.
  • Strong understanding of electrical systems, AC/DC power conversion, system ratings, single-line diagrams, technical specifications, and customer project requirements.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, product datasheets, electrical schematics, project specifications, and compliance documents.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to customers and internal stakeholders.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with sales, engineering, product, manufacturing, quality, service, and operations teams.
