How to Apply for Senior Engineer
at XENDEE
🏢 About XENDEE
XENDEE is a specialized platform focused exclusively on optimizing EV fast charging and microgrids for sustainable, resilient energy systems. Unlike broader energy companies, XENDEE offers deep technical expertise in DER and microgrid control systems, particularly their OPERATE platform. Working here means contributing directly to cutting-edge solutions that address critical energy infrastructure challenges.
About This Role
As a Senior Engineer at XENDEE, you'll develop and integrate new optimization algorithms into the OPERATE microgrid control system while programming APIs for client communication. This role directly impacts how clients implement sustainable energy solutions by bridging technical development with client project modeling and AI-enabled forecasting support.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves developing and testing new algorithm capabilities for the OPERATE platform, programming APIs for client communication, and collaborating with internal teams on AI forecasting methods. You'll also engage with clients to understand their project modeling requirements and prepare technical presentations based on XENDEE software results.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who XENDEE Is Looking For
- Holds an MS or PhD in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering with hands-on experience in distribution grids, DER, microgrids, and optimization techniques
- Has deep practical experience in energy modeling, power flow analysis, and AI applications specifically for microgrid systems
- Is proficient in Python programming and optimization platforms relevant to energy systems
- Can effectively engage with clients to understand project needs while translating them into technical solutions within the OPERATE platform
