Functional Systems Lead

• Own system-level architecture and functional definition for energy storage systems (BMS, controls, protections, EMS integration).
• Define and manage system requirements, interfaces, and traceability from cell to grid.
• Lead functional safety architecture, including fault detection, diagnostics, and protection strategies.
• Drive systems integration across embedded software, power electronics, thermal, and mechanical subsystems.

This role directly advances the adoption of sodium-ion battery technology, enabling cheaper, safer, and more sustainable energy storage for a resilient renewable energy grid, thereby accelerating the transition to clean energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

• 10+ years of experience in systems engineering, embedded systems, or electrical engineering, with 3–5+ years in technical leadership.
• Strong background in safety-critical systems (battery systems, automotive, aerospace, industrial, or similar).
• Deep understanding of embedded systems and real-time controls.
• Experience with system modeling and simulation (MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or similar).

The salary range for this role is $150k- $225k, with actual pay varying based on work location, experience, and skills. Our competitive benefits package includes flexible time off, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, a strong 401(k) plan, and equity opportunities.

Peak Energy is the first American venture to advance globally proven Sodium-Ion battery systems as the storage standard for the new era of renewable energy on a resilient grid. Sodium-Ion is cheap, readily available and safe, making it the leading contender in a rapidly evolving market.
