Sr. Staff System Architect – Energy Generation, Storage & Conversion （能源系统架构师）
Originally posted 10 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role defines and drives end-to-end architectures for energy generation, storage, power conversion, and grid-connected energy systems. The focus includes AC/DC and DC/DC topologies, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and power semiconductor technologies including SiC, GaN, IGBT, and MOSFET systems.
What you'll do
- Define complete energy system architectures including grid connection, MV/LV protection schemes, distribution automation, and microgrid solutions.
- Architect AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion systems including PFC, LLC, PSFB, and bidirectional topologies.
- Define Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), BMS architectures, and distributed systems integrating solar PV, wind, and fuel cells.
- Provide system requirement documents (SRDs), reference designs, and evaluation platforms for energy applications.
- Optimize system-level efficiency, power density, thermal performance, and lifetime reliability.
- Guide internal product teams, power IC designers, controls engineers, and thermal/mechanical experts to deliver integrated solutions.
What you'll need
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.
- 10+ years of experience in energy infrastructure, power electronics, power conversion, and grid-connected systems.
- Deep expertise in AC/DC and DC/DC power topologies including PFC, LLC, PSFB, and bidirectional systems.
- In-depth knowledge of MV/LV power distribution architectures, protection, BESS, and battery management.
- Experience with power semiconductor technologies including SiC, GaN, IGBT, and MOSFET-based systems.
- Experience with system-level modeling and simulation tools such as PLECS, SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, or CFD.
- Strong verbal and written English communication skills (minimum B2, preferably C1).
Nice to have
- Experience with energy metering and smart grid communication protocols such as Modbus, IEC 61850, and OCPP.
- Familiarity with EV charging station architectures (AC and DC fast charging) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration.
- Expertise in wide-bandgap (SiC/GaN) power systems and solid-state transformers.
- Knowledge of energy orchestration frameworks, microgrid control, and digital twins.
