Job description

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Solution & Grid Integration

  • Lead

    technical discussions regarding the integration of BESS and PV Inverters into national electrical networks.

  • Plan and design

    complex power systems with high penetration of renewable energy, ensuring compliance with local Grid Codes and international standards.

  • Provide

    innovative solutions for grid connection challenges, ensuring stability and reliability for utility-scale projects.

  • Apply

    in-depth knowledge of

    grid support technologies

    for BESS and PV inverters, specifically focusing on

    Grid Forming

    applications (Virtual Synchronous Machine, Black Start, Inertia Support) in weak grids.

2. Simulation & Analysis (Leadership & Supervision)

  • Supervise and lead

    the technical team in conducting advanced RMS and EMT power system simulations to validate system performance and troubleshoot complex issues.

  • Oversee

    the utilization of industry-standard software such as

    PSCAD, PSS/E, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP,

    and

    MATLAB

    .

  • Guide

    the team in performing Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and validation using

    RTDS

    and/or

    RT-Lab

    to verify control strategies before deployment.

  • Note: While this is a leadership function, candidates with hands-on experience in conducting these simulations personally are highly preferred.

3. Technical Marketing & Business Support

  • Act

    as the technical bridge between R&D and the market; translate complex technical specifications into compelling value propositions for customers.

  • Support

    the sales team by presenting technical feasibility studies and solution benefits to high-level stakeholders (TSOs, DSOs, Developers, and Regulators).

  • Identify
