Grid Technology Technical Marketing Manager

Key Responsibilities 1. Technical Solution & Grid Integration • Lead technical discussions regarding the integration of BESS and PV Inverters into national electrical networks. • Plan and design complex power systems with high penetration of renewable energy, ensuring compliance with local Grid Codes and international standards. • Provide innovative solutions for grid connection challenges, ensuring stability and reliability for utility-scale projects. • Apply in-depth knowledge of grid support technologies for BESS and PV inverters, specifically focusing on Grid Forming applications (Virtual Synchronous Machine, Black Start, Inertia Support) in weak grids. 2. Simulation & Analysis (Leadership & Supervision) • Supervise and lead the technical team in conducting advanced RMS and EMT power system simulations to validate system performance and troubleshoot complex issues. • Oversee the utilization of industry-standard software such as PSCAD, PSS/E, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, and MATLAB. • Guide the team in performing Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and validation using RTDS and/or RT-Lab to verify control strategies before deployment. • Note: While this is a leadership function, candidates with hands-on experience in conducting these simulations personally are highly preferred. 3. Technical Marketing & Business Support • Act as the technical bridge between R&D and the market; translate complex technical specifications into compelling value propositions for customers. • Support the sales team by presenting technical feasibility studies and solution benefits to high-level stakeholders (TSOs, DSOs, Developers, and Regulators). • Identify market trends and customer pain points to propose innovative product applications and system solutions. 4. Continuous Improvement & Team Support • Function as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) within the team, supporting colleagues with technical problem-solving. • Maintain a "self-learner" mindset, constantly updating knowledge on emerging grid technologies and market dynamics. • Collaborate with global teams to share knowledge and standardize best practices. Qualifications & Requirements 1. Education: • Minimum: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent (specializing in Electrical Power Systems). • Preferred: PhD in Power Systems, Control Engineering or equivalent (including renewable energy). 2. Technical Experience: • PCS Control Strategy: In-depth knowledge of the operation and advanced control algorithms/strategies of Power Conversion Systems (PCS). • Grid Support & Grid Forming: Deep understanding of BESS and PV Inverter grid support functions, with specific expertise in Grid Forming technology and its application in national systems. • Battery Technology: Solid knowledge of battery cell technology, degradation characteristics, and system sizing calculations. • Simulation Leadership: Proven ability to supervise simulation tasks. Hands-on proficiency in PSCAD, PSS/E, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, or MATLAB/Simulink is highly preferred. • HIL Testing: Experience guiding or performing Real-Time Digital Simulators (RTDS) or RT-Lab testing is preferred. 3. Industry Background & Mindset: • Project Delivery: Proven experience in successful project delivery, combined with a project development mindset—understanding the commercial and timeline implications of technical decisions. • Utility Experience: Experience working within or for Electricity Utilities (TSO/DSO) is highly preferred. • Implementation: Practical experience in the actual implementation/commissioning of BESS and PV projects is a strong plus. 4. Soft Skills & Attributes: • Hybrid Mindset: Technically sound but genuinely enthusiastic about performing in a Sales and Marketing capacity. • Leadership: Ability to supervise technical tasks and mentor team members while maintaining high quality standards. • Problem Solver: Excellent analytical skills with the ability to research and resolve complex technical issues independently. • Agility: Flexible and adaptable; willing to learn new skills and embrace new ideas in a fast-paced environment. • Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to work effectively in a team and present to global clients.
