• Collaborate with Software and Controls to integrate control logic and communications between e-Zinc’s Battery Management System (BMS) and power conversion components

• Prepare or support electrical studies, including system impact, grounding, protection and coordination, arc flash, harmonics, and related analyses.

• Support supplier engagement, RFQs, purchase orders, and project cost estimates.

• Prepare technical content and electrical inputs for customer proposals and project development activities.

• Participate in prototype builds, system qualification testing, installation, commissioning, and field deployment.

• Troubleshoot electrical and system-level issues and collaborate across engineering disciplines to identify and implement practical solutions.

• Identify opportunities to improve system performance, reliability, safety, cost, and manufacturability through design and process improvements.

• Provide technical leadership and subject matter expertise to the engineering team and support junior engineers where applicable.

• Communicate project risks, technical issues, and recommendations to technical leadership and broader project team.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, preferably with a focus on Power Systems, Power Electronics, or a related discipline.

• 10+ years of relevant engineering experience in power systems, power conversion, energy storage, renewables, industrial systems, or a related field.

• Experienced in SolidWorks and PDM. 

• Experience designing, integrating, testing, or commissioning power conversion systems, inverters, or industrial electrical systems.

• Strong understanding of electrical system design, power distribution, protection, grounding, and electrical safety.

• Experience developing and reviewing single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, layouts, and detailed engineering drawings.

• Working knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), National Electrical Code (NEC) , ESA requirements, and applicable CSA standards.
