Electrical Engineer - Battery Energy Storage System

Job Title:
Electrical Engineer - Battery Energy Storage System

Location:

Mississauga, ON

Position Scope and Responsibilities:

• Design of electrical architectures for battery pack and BESS products, including specification, selection, and integration of components for power conversion, power distribution, safety, monitoring, and connection to external systems.
• Delivery of electrical systems that achieve functional requirements, safety certification, high volume manufacturing readiness, cost targets, and regulatory requirements.
• Create detailed electrical and power schematics, wiring and harness diagrams, and BOMs using CAD and ECAD tools.
• Define and execute test plans for performance and safety verification of BESS engineering samples, including energy storage performance, power flow validation, compliance with standards (i.e. LV / HV isolation, insulation resistance, electrical noise, and EMC).
• Support the design and integration of Battery Management Systems (BMS), control and switching components, and sensing and monitoring hardware.
• Lead and contribute to design reviews, DFMEA, root cause analysis, and continuous product improvement initiatives.
• Drive the development of electrical test fixtures, jigs, and assembly processes to support pack and BESS validation and engineering sample assembly.
• Provide technical support for prototype builds, manufacturing transfer, and vendor qualification.

Key Deliverables:

• In the first 6 months to a year, this role will be a fundamental contributor to success through:
• Completing electrical design and assembly of our next generation of zinc-air cells, battery packs, and BESS unit engineering samples for field trials and commercial evaluation
• Driving ECM and electrical engineering best practices within Product Engineering
• Delivering electrical engineering design reviews and release of design documentation
• Releasing completed electrical designs packages for Engineering Release to Manufacturing

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in electrical design and development for battery energy storage or industrial power systems.
• Experience designing power conversion (DC/DC) systems to regulate and manage battery-connected systems.
• Registration with the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) is an asset.
• Experience in component selection and integration including sensors, relays, and communication interfaces.
• Strong design, problem-solving and hands-on skills; experience in engineering, prototyping, and industrial production environments and field troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of applicable standards for battery and electrical system certification (e.g., UL, IEC, CE).
