Job Overview:

Design Lead BESS

Key Responsibilities:

System Design & Engineering:

• Lead end-to-end system architecture and engineering design for BESS integrated with solar, wind, and hybrid systems.
• Define technical specifications for BESS including battery chemistry, inverter selection, containerization, HVAC, fire suppression, and auxiliary systems.
• Prepare detailed sizing calculations for RTC and FDRE applications using load profiles, dispatch requirements, and grid demand curves.
• Design control strategies (SoC, DoD, charge/discharge schedules) to meet grid and customer flexibility requirements.
• Review vender design documents, technical specification, GA, layout & EMS etc.
• Well Versed in BESS & PCS Sizing, Aux Power Calculation, Heat load calculation, Cooling & Fire fighting design.

Simulation & Modeling:

• Conduct performance simulations (using tools like HOMER, PSCAD, MATLAB/Simulink, DIgSILENT, etc.) for technical feasibility.
• Analyze dispatch profiles and run techno-economic modeling to optimize system performance and lifecycle costs.
• Evaluate efficiency, degradation, and cycle life under different use cases and applications.

Technical Documentation & Coordination:

• Develop and review single-line diagrams (SLDs), BOMs, datasheets, and tender specifications.
• Coordinate with OEMs, vendors, and internal stakeholders to finalize engineering packages and integrate control systems.
• Support tender engineering, bid submissions, and client technical presentations.

Project Support:

• Provide design and engineering support during construction and commissioning phases.
• Perform technical due diligence and validation for new technologies, suppliers, and products.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor's/Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or related discipline.
• 712 years of experience in BESS design and engineering within renewable energy, utilities, or EPC environments.
• Expertise in battery technologies (LFP, NMC, flow batteries, etc.) and associated power conversion systems.
• Strong knowledge of grid codes, safety standards (UL, IEC), and storage application types (peak shaving, frequency regulation, etc.).
• Proficiency in energy modeling, electrical design software (AutoCAD, ETAP, HOMER, etc.), and MS Excel.

Preferred:

• Experience working on RTC/FDRE projects or SECI storage-linked tenders.
• Exposure to SCADA/BMS/inverter communication protocols (Modbus, CAN, IEC 61850).
• Familiarity with hybrid plant operations, microgrids, or utility-scale grid integration.
