What you'll do

• The Opportunity:
• You will be a part of the Energy Storage & Automation Engineering team and support the engineering, design, development, testing, and commissioning of SCADA systems for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Automation projects.

• You will be an individual contributor responsible for delivering engineering activities based on project requirements while coordinating closely with cross-functional teams including Control & Protection, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Project Management, and Commissioning teams. In the absence of your Lead Engineer, you may be required to interact directly with customers, vendors, and other stakeholders to resolve technical queries and ensure successful project execution.
• The role offers the opportunity to work on advanced energy automation solutions, integrating Battery Management Systems (BMS), Energy Management Systems (EMS), Inverters, Protection IEDs, PLCs, RTUs, and cloud-based monitoring applications for utility-scale projects.
