This role is part of Jabil's Renewable & Energy Infrastructure (R&EI) business, supporting the design and manufacturing of BESS products for global customers. The BESS System Engineer is responsible for defining, integrating, and supporting Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) solutions at the product and system level for manufacturing in multiple regions.
Requirements
- Work with the System Architect and functional teams (Electrical, Mechanical, and Software) to define and refine the BESS system architecture and key subsystem interfaces.
- Develop and maintain system-level requirements, specifications, and interface definitions across all subsystems.
- Collaborate closely with global teams, external design partners, suppliers, and manufacturing sites to evaluate system designs and technical proposals, including participation in design reviews and DFMEA activities to ensure alignment with performance, safety, and manufacturability requirements.
- Coordinate and review system-level design analyses (e.g., power flow, fault behavior, efficiency, operating modes, grid behavior, integration constraints) with internal function teams and external design partners.
- Support selection and evaluation of key components (batteries, PCS, transformers, switchgear, fire suppression, thermal systems, protection devices).
- Develop and review engineering drawings and studies, including SLDs (single-line diagrams), wiring diagrams, layouts, communication interfaces, and protection studies.
- Prepare technical documentation, solution briefs, and system specifications for global teams and customer stakeholders.
- Plan and support factory-focused system validation (e.g., FAT), including functional testing, safety testing, and standards compliance (UL 9540/9540A, IEEE 1547, IEC standards).
- Support design transfer and build readiness for prototype, pilot, and production builds.
- Work with manufacturing sites to resolve integration issues and drive DFM/DFT and reliability improvements for BESS products.
- Identify technical risks throughout the project lifecycle and drive mitigation plans with cross-functional and cross-regional teams.
- Maintain awareness of ESS/BESS industry trends, standards, and supplier technologies, and share relevant insights with internal teams.
