A Technical Contract job is a temporary or project-based position where a professional with technical expertise is hired for a specific duration or task. These roles are common in industries like IT, engineering, and construction, where companies require specialized skills for short-term needs. Contractors typically work on a defined scope, often through an agency or as independent consultants.

Exceptional attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, and effective communication are important soft skills for ensuring accuracy and building stakeholder trust. Mastery of these abilities ensures contracts are legally compliant, technically sound, and aligned with project or organizational goals.

Ford Energy is a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company dedicated to accelerating U.S. energy independence. Leveraging Ford's century of manufacturing excellence and world-class battery energy storage systems (BESS) technology, Ford Energy designs, manufactures, and services grid-scale and commercial DC battery energy storage systems (BESS). Ford Energy is uniquely positioned to capture the growing demand for reliable, US-built energy storage systems. We are not just building batteries; we are building the infrastructure for the next generation of the American grid.
Why Ford Energy?
At Ford Energy, you have the backing of an industrial manufacturing powerhouse with the agility of a dedicated energy startup offering industry leading technology. We offer a competitive compensation package including performance-based bonuses, Ford vehicle discounts, and the opportunity to shape the energy strategy of one of the world's most iconic brands.
In this position...
The Technical Solutions Engineer will serve as the Technical Solution Lead for the Ford Energy sales team and our customers. This role is critical in translating complex customer requirements into optimized BESS configurations and driving disciplined execution across the technical solution process. You will be responsible for driving commercial accountability through technical financial modeling and overseeing system sizing, guiding performance modeling, and coordinating technical documentation and certification. The Technical Solutions Engineer will bridge the gap between engineering and sales by ensuring all technical solutions are "bankable," safety-compliant, and commercially viable.
Responsibilities
What you'll do...
  • Technical Solution Leadership & Scoping

    • Serve as the primary technical lead for project configurations before they move to final proposal.
    • Interface with our simulation team to model battery degradation, round-trip efficiency, and financial performance based on specific customer use cases such as peak shaving or renewable integration
  • Commercial & Market Expertise
    • Lead the development of technical financial models, including Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) and NPV analysis, to ensure proposed solutions meet customer financial hurdles and Ford Energy's margin targets.
    • Draft and negotiate technical exhibits for commercial contracts, ensuring performance guarantees are accurately reflected and achievable.
    • Provide deep technical expertise on regional grid requirements and interconnection standards for major energy markets (e.g., ERCOT, CAISO).
  • Safety, Compliance & Technical Solutions Support
    • Ensure all project designs and configurations adhere to the latest industry safety standards, specifically UL 9540A and NFPA 855.
    • Act as the SME during customer meetings, delivering presentations and product demonstrations that highlight Ford Energy's competitive advantages.
    • Support the development of technical documentation and certification planning to ensure market access and customer confidence.
  • Cross-Functional Alignment & Growth
    • Serve as the voice of the customer for the Ford Energy Product Engineering teams, providing feedback on market requirements to influence the future product roadmap.
    • Continuously improve technical solution workflows and review processes to increase speed, quality, and consistency of customer proposals.

Qualifications
You'll have...
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of experience in technical solutions, applications engineering, systems engineering, or project engineering within the energy sector.
  • Demonstrated experience in technical contract negotiation and financial modeling for large-scale energy projects.
  • Strong understanding of power systems, batteries, and battery management systems.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with executive leaders, technical teams, and customers.

Even better, you may have..
  • Direct experience with stationary Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and familiarity with UL 9540A and NFPA 855 standards.
  • Working knowledge of wholesale electricity markets and grid operations (e.g., ERCOT, CAISO, PJM).
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience with high-voltage safety standards and industrial control protocols.
  • Proven ability to work in a fast-paced start-up environment within a larger corporate structure.
  • Solution-oriented leader who can balance technical rigor with commercial urgency.
  • Strategic thinker capable of translating complex customer needs into "bankable" technical configurations.
  • Strong communicator able to bridge the gap between technical engineering requirements and operational customer needs.
  • Leadership Attributes
    • Highly organized and capable of managing multiple project configurations in a fast-paced environment.
  • Location & Travel
    • Location & Travel Southeast Michigan or Glendale, KY preferred. Remote arrangements will be considered for candidates with specialized expertise. Role requires domestic travel as needed
    • Travel Expectations: This role requires travel to customer sites and project locations as needed to support technical solutions and site assessments.

This position is leadership level 6 and ranges from $115,500-218,100.
