Design and validate industrial control panels across their full lifecycle, including component selection, schematics, layouts, bills of materials, vendor coordination, high-voltage testing, and functional validation. Ensure compliance with NEC and UL 508A standards, collaborate on enclosure and thermal integration, and support DFMEA risk mitigation. The role requires cross-functional work with mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and third-party fabrication teams.

Own high-fidelity CFD and transient thermal modeling for iron-air energy storage systems, spanning electrochemical cells to containerized systems. Validate simulations against test data, automate optimization workflows, analyze fluid routing and cooling efficiency, resolve thermal-fluid integration issues, select modeling methods, standardize workflows, and develop custom tools to address simulation limitations. Translate complex modeling results into system-level design requirements and guide multidisciplinary engineering decisions.

Designs and validates PCBAs and electrical systems for high-power battery storage applications across the full lifecycle, including requirements, component selection, schematics, layouts, vendor DFM, bring-up, verification, sustaining, and troubleshooting. Collaborates with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and test teams while ensuring safety, reliability, compliance, and documentation standards.

Lead migration of legacy infrastructure to modern internal platforms, design reliable Day-2 operations, extend platform integrations, and establish monitoring, SLOs, security controls, audit automation, and cost forecasting. The role includes complex incident response, postmortem-driven improvements, infrastructure and delivery standards, AI-assisted automation with guardrails, technical leadership, mentoring, documentation, and cross-functional partnership.

Support corporate FP&A for engineering and R&D by developing budgets, analyzing spending, forecasting, leading budget reviews, maintaining financial controls, building reporting dashboards, and improving finance processes. Partner with G&A teams, finance systems, business intelligence, and engineering leadership to provide accurate, data-driven insights for decision-making.

Leads a multidisciplinary team responsible for system-level integration, verification, and validation of energy storage hardware and software. Owns testing strategy, requirements-driven campaigns, DFMEA risk mitigation, safety verification, deployment gates, issue tracking, root-cause analysis, and failure triage across integrated test beds. The role requires expertise in power electronics, high-voltage systems, communications protocols, battery management systems, automated testing, and hardware-in-the-loop frameworks, along with engineering people-management experience.

Serves as a strategic and operational HR partner for California product engineering and site leaders.
