Sr. Staff System Architect – Energy Generation, Storage & Conversion系统架构师（能源/储能） - Shanghai, China
Originally posted 31 August 2026 by the employer — open 10 days.
About the role
This role defines and drives end-to-end architectures for energy generation, storage, power conversion, and grid-connected energy systems. It bridges energy market requirements with Renesas semiconductor and power electronic technologies to deliver energy infrastructure solutions.
What you'll do
- Define complete energy system architectures, including grid connection and protection schemes (MV/LV).
- Architect AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion systems with PFC, LLC, PSFB, and bidirectional topologies.
- Define Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), BMS architectures, and microgrid solutions.
- Design distributed energy systems integrating solar PV, wind, fuel cells, and renewable sources.
- Translate customer and market requirements into scalable system architectures and reference solutions.
- Provide system requirement documents (SRDs), reference designs, and evaluation platforms for energy applications.
What you'll need
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or 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 (PFC, LLC, PSFB, bidirectional).
- Deep expertise in MV/LV power distribution architectures and protection.
- Deep expertise in Battery energy storage systems (BESS) and battery management.
- Knowledge of grid codes, interconnection standards, and renewable Power semiconductor technologies (SiC, GaN, IGBT, and MOSFET based systems).
- Experience in system-level modeling/simulation (PLECS, SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, CFD).
- Strong verbal and written English communication skills (minimum B2, preferably C1).
Nice to have
- Experience with energy metering and smart grid communication protocols (Modbus, IEC 61850, 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.
