Their focus on sustainability and deep technical expertise makes them a standout in the energy storage industry, offering the chance to directly impact the renewable energy transition.

About This Role

As a Senior Performance Engineer, you'll own the end-to-end battery performance for major grid-scale BESS customers, translating complex analytics into actionable recommendations. This role is critical as the bridge between US customers and European teams, directly shaping the product roadmap with field insights.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by reviewing analytics dashboards for your BESS customers, identifying any performance anomalies. Then, you'll join a call with a US customer to explain a degradation trend and recommend operational changes, followed by a sync with European engineering to share field insights that could improve the platform.

🎯 Who ACCURE Is Looking For

  • Deep understanding of lithium-ion battery degradation and safety in grid storage (BESS), with hands-on experience interpreting analytics to drive customer outcomes.
  • 5+ years in energy storage or related technical role, preferably with BESS industry experience and a track record of customer-facing technical leadership.
  • Excellent communicator who can translate technical data into clear business impact for diverse stakeholders, including non-technical customers.
  • Proactive and self-sufficient, comfortable working remotely and bridging time zones between US and European teams.
