The Senior Power Conversion Engineer is responsible for the performance, reliability, and lifecycle management of power conversion systems across the operating fleet, including inverters, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and related AC equipment.

This role serves as the technical owner of power conversion system performance—bridging field execution, engineering analysis, and vendor engagement. The position informs equipment selection and design standards for new projects while driving resolution of both systemic and site-specific issues.

Main Responsibilities:

· Own the performance and availability of inverter and BESS systems across the fleet.

· Drive the resolution of major failures, sustained underperformance, and serial defects.

· Track and analyze performance and reliability metrics to identify emerging risks.

· Provide advanced troubleshooting support for complex inverter, BESS, and AC system issues.

· Translate field observations into clear problem statements and actionable solutions.

· Support O&M teams with structured troubleshooting and escalation.

· Serve as the primary engineering interface with inverter and BESS OEMs and service providers.

· Lead technical escalation and resolution of systemic equipment issues, including root cause identification and corrective action implementation.

· Provide technical oversight of vendor performance, ensuring equipment issues are properly diagnosed, addressed, and resolved.

· Develop and implement strategies for managing power conversion systems across their lifecycle, including spare parts planning, repowering analyses, and monitoring capabilities.

· Review and validate inverter and BESS firmware, controls logic, and operating parameters to ensure proper system performance and grid compliance.

· Support analysis of inverter and BESS interactions with plant-level controls and grid events to improve system response and stability.

· Identify and evaluate key failure modes and develop mitigation strategies to reduce recurrence and fleet-wide risk.

· Support long-term planning for major component replacements and fleet upgrades.

· Drive reliability improvements through PM optimization, failure trend analysis, and standardization of best practices.

· Support development of condition-based maintenance approaches.

· Provide operational insight to Delivery teams to inform equipment selection and specifications.

· Support commissioning review and project turnover into operations.

· Identify and communicate design or operational deficiencies.

· Collaborate closely with Asset Management, O&M, Performance Engineering, and Compliance teams to improve fleet performance.

Qualifications:

Education

· Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical Engineering preferred)

Experience

· 7+ years working with power conversion systems (solar inverters and/or BESS preferred).

· Strong field experience troubleshooting inverter and/or BESS systems.

· Experience working with vendors and cross-functional teams to resolve technical issues.

· Utility-scale solar, storage, or similar industrial power experience preferred.

Skills

· Strong understanding of inverter technologies, BESS systems, and AC power systems.

· Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues.

· Experience with root cause analysis and reliability practices.

· Strong communication skills and ability to influence outcomes across teams.
