System Design and Architecture Engineer

• Define the hardware architecture across subsystems, partitioning functions and resolving system boundaries.
• Write and own system-level requirements through the design phase, flowing them down to domain teams.
• Transition into system integration role, bringing up the integrated system and root-causing multi-subsystem issues.
• Hold system-level authority over architecture decisions and resolve cross-domain trade-offs decisively.

This role directly contributes to rebuilding America's electricity grid with distributed batteries, making it more resilient and abundant, thereby enabling a sustainable energy future.

• 4+ years designing or integrating multi-subsystem electromechanical, embedded, or power-electronics systems with system-architecture ownership.
• Strong EE and firmware fundamentals, able to design across HW/FW boundary.
• Very strong physics and first-principles reasoning; strong root-cause analysis on complex, multi-domain problems.
• Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink and Python scripting.
