[Hiring] AIDC Solutions Engineer @AESC

Role Description

AESC is looking to add an ESS Solutions Engineer to join our team remotely.

AESC is seeking an AIDC Solutions Engineer to lead the technical development of battery energy storage solutions for AI data centers and other mission-critical facilities. This role connects customer requirements with battery system design, power conversion, controls, and site electrical infrastructure to deliver reliable, commercially competitive solutions.

The engineer will serve as a technical point of contact for data center owners, hyperscalers, developers, EPCs, and technology partners, supporting opportunities from early concept and proposal development through engineering handoff, integration testing, and commissioning support.

What You Will Do

• Lead technical discussions with customers to define operating requirements, electrical interfaces, performance expectations, and project scope.
• Develop BESS solutions for applications including backup power, ride-through, load smoothing, peak demand management, and grid support.
• Analyze data center load profiles, including rapid AI workload fluctuations, to establish power, energy, response time, state-of-charge, redundancy, and lifecycle requirements.
• Develop system configurations, preliminary sizing, single-line diagrams, equipment layouts, technical proposals, and compliance matrices.
• Evaluate integration with UPS systems, generators, switchgear, transformers, PCS, EMS, and facility control systems.
• Define control strategies and operating sequences for normal operation, grid disturbances, backup operation, and recovery.
• Coordinate with battery, PCS, controls, and R&D teams to assess technical feasibility and address product gaps.
• Lead technical responses to RFIs, RFPs, and RFQs, including performance assumptions, scope boundaries, exceptions, and interface responsibilities.
• Support system modeling and studies covering dynamic response, power quality, protection coordination, and grid interaction.
• Translate customer reliability and availability requirements into system architecture, redundancy strategies, maintenance assumptions, and validation plans.
• Coordinate integration testing, factory acceptance testing, and site acceptance testing with internal teams and external partners.
• Support customer reviews of safety, reliability, DFMEA, and applicable certification requirements.
• Maintain clear technical documentation and provide structured handoffs to project engineering, project management, and service teams.
• Provide customer and market feedback to guide the AIDC product roadmap.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Engineering, or a related discipline.
• At least 5 years of relevant experience in battery energy storage, power conversion, UPS systems, data center electrical infrastructure, or related power applications.
• Strong understanding of BESS architecture, battery operating limits, PCS capabilities, and energy management controls.
• Experience developing technical solutions and supporting customer-facing engineering discussions.
• Working knowledge of medium- and low-voltage electrical systems, transformers, switchgear, protection, grounding, and power quality.
• Ability to interpret electrical drawings, equipment specifications, load profiles, and system performance requirements.
• Ability to evaluate tradeoffs among performance, reliability, footprint, cost, and delivery schedule.
• Strong technical writing, presentation, and cross-functional coordination skills.
• Willingness to travel for customer meetings, site visits, factory testing, and industry events.

Requirements

• Direct experience supporting hyperscale, colocation, AI, or high-performance computing data centers.
• Experience integrating BESS with UPS systems, backup generators, or microgrid controls.
• Familiarity with AI load characteristics, high-speed power response, load smoothing, and mission-critical power architectures.
• Experience with grid-forming controls, islanding, black start, or seamless power transfer.
• Familiarity with UL 9540, UL 9540A, UL 1973, NFPA 855, NFPA 68/69, NEC, and relevant IEEE standards.
• Experience with power system analysis tools such as ETAP, SKM, PSCAD, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent.
• Experience with HIL testing, communication protocols, and interfaces between BESS controls and facility management systems.
• Master’s degree or Professional Engineer license.

Benefits

• Comprehensive compensation packages including a competitive salary and a rewarding bonus program.
• An inclusive and diverse work environment that fosters and encourages professional and personal development.
• Highly automated, clean, safe, and temperature-controlled production environment.
• Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance.
• HSA and Flexible Spending Accounts.
• 401K with company match.
• Life Insurance (Company paid and additional voluntary life available).
• Paid Vacation and 14 Paid Holidays.
• Short term and long-term disability coverage (Company Paid).
• Tuition reimbursement.
