* Represent StorTera in client meetings, presenting solutions and addressing technical queries.
* Mentor junior engineers and champion engineering best practices.

* 5–7 years' experience in electrical engineering, with a strong focus on energy storage, renewable power, or grid-connected systems.
* Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, SKM, PSS/E or PSCAD.
* Deep understanding of power electronics, Li-ion batteries, and grid interconnection standards.
* Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., IEEE 1547, UL 9540).
* Exceptional problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a quality-first mindset.
* Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
* A genuine commitment to sustainability, innovation, and collaborative working.
