How much do battery storage engineer jobs pay per year?

As of Sep 10, 2026, the average yearly pay for battery storage engineer in the United States is $115,418.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $95,000.00 and $130,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Battery Storage Engineer vs Battery Systems Technician?

AspectBattery Storage EngineerBattery Systems Technician
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical, Mechanical, or Energy Engineering; certifications like NABCEP or IEEETechnical diploma or associate degree; certifications in battery systems or safety
Work EnvironmentDesign, development, and project planning in offices or labsInstallation, maintenance, and troubleshooting on-site at energy facilities
Industry UsageUsed in renewable energy projects, grid storage, and large-scale energy systemsPrimarily in installation and servicing of battery systems in the field

The main difference is that Battery Storage Engineers focus on designing and planning battery storage solutions, while Battery Systems Technicians handle installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of these systems on-site. Both roles require technical knowledge, but engineers are more involved in development and analysis, whereas technicians focus on operational support.

Are battery storage engineers in demand?

Battery storage engineers are in high demand due to the growth of renewable energy and the need for efficient energy storage solutions. The industry values skills in systems design, battery technology, and project management, with job opportunities increasing in both manufacturing and utility sectors.

Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Join the High Power Engineering team supporting SpaceXAI to design, build, operate, and maintain electrical infrastructure for AI training campuses. As a Lead Engineer for Battery Storage, you will work with a small on-site team to scale high-capacity power systems on a schedule set by compute demand. The position is based in Memphis, TN, with potential travel to other sites.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Own the storage fleet as a power plant, not as an accessory: architecture, sizing, controls, safety case, and grid-forming behavior that lets the campus ride through compute step loads and generation contingencies.
  • Own BESS architecture: pack-to-MV-transformer grouping, string composition, medium-voltage collection topology, string-level protection, and physical block layout including spacing per NFPA 855.
  • Own sizing; translate compute duty cycles - step loads, training-job ramps, actual-versus-nameplate utilization - into power and energy requirements.
  • Own inverter control strategy: grid-forming versus grid-following, droop and virtual inertia, fault-current contribution, ride-through, and coordination with generation governors and excitation.
  • Own the plant controller and EMS functional specification: dispatch, state-of-charge management, peak shaving, spinning-reserve emulation, islanding, and black-start participation.
  • Own the fire and life-safety case: UL 9540 and 9540A basis, thermal runaway propagation, deflagration venting, water supply, emergency response plan, and AHJ engagement.
  • Own the OEM relationship: technical requirements, factory testing, performance guarantees, and degradation and augmentation planning.
  • Direct Design, Commissioning, Ops/Build, Network, Civil, and Program Manager seats on Battery Storage as those seats fill.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or another engineering discipline.
  • 8+ years in power systems engineering.
  • 4+ years directly on utility-scale or large commercial and industrial battery energy storage.
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES:
  • Experience sizing storage against a real duty cycle rather than a rule of thumb.
  • Working knowledge of NFPA 855, UL 9540 and 9540A, IEEE 1547, and IEEE 2800.
  • Utility-scale BESS fleet experience at large pack counts.
  • Deep understanding of grid-forming inverter control and its interaction with synchronous machines.
  • PSCAD or other EMT modeling of inverter-based resources.
  • Professional Engineering license or intention to actively seek a PE license.
  • Experience building and leading an engineering team from the first hire.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Perform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights.
  • Work extended hours and weekends as needed to support construction, energization, and operations.
  • Remain focused in hazardous environments while wearing appropriate PPE.
  • Lift up to 25 lbs. unassisted.
  • Provide 24/7 on-call support for emergencies.
  • Willing to work on-site in Memphis, TN. This is not a remote or hybrid role.
  • Travel up to 25% for factory witness testing, vendor and OEM engagement, and supporting other sites.
  • Valid driver's license.
