Job Summary

is building the power infrastructure that makes the AI era possible. As AI demand surges past what the grid and traditional data centers can support provides a new class of power technology proven at gigawatt scale and trusted by the worlds leading cloud and AI companies. Our systems are already deployed across 2.5 GW of hyper-scale campuses validated by top U.S. national labs and certified for grid-safe operation by major utilities. With real products in the field were scaling faster than the grid can transforming power from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage for the companies building the future.

Role Overview

Were looking for a Senior Product Engineer to own the technical design specification and continuous improvement of our BESS and DC Cabinet product lines. This is a product role at its core: youll author technical specifications drive vendor engagement perform detailed component sizing and partner with project commissioning and O&M teams to close the loop between field experience and product design. You should have lived through full product development cycles and know how to bring engineering discipline into a fast-moving environment with frequent release cycles.

What Youll Do

Product Definition & Specification
