The Role

As a Solutions Engineer within our Battery Systems team, your expertise will be crucial in developing robust technical solutions for our customers. You will be responsible for the electro-technical design of our products and projects on customer sites. You are the counterpart of the customer's installer or technical experts. You design robust, safe and compliant installations. You understand and respect the limitations of our BESS, PCS, transformers and MV switchgear and make sure they can operate both in grid following as grid forming and off grid solutions. We value your judgment and rely on your knowledge, to advance our mission of a stable grid without relying on fossil fuels. You will be involved in product development, as well as tender and early sales phases, and during the project's execution phases during construction, commissioning and operation.

• Support the integration of hardware components into iwell’s BESS, ensuring compatibility and performance.

• Support sales and tender processes to provide effective solutions for our customer, i.e. ensure proper site design, clear drawings and instructions for external parties. 

• Develop and maintain technical documentation, such as system specifications,  processes, and instructions.

• You will become the electrotechnical expert within iwell.

What are looking for

• Degree in Electrical Engineering (HBO/WO) or equivalent experience.

• Strong communication skills and attention to quality assurance

• Ability to read and produce technical drawings and schematics
