  • Research market requirements, customer use‑cases, and competitive EMS / integration capabilities; translate insights into actionable product or roadmap proposals.
  • Present solution proposals to internal stakeholders to gain alignment in TRB / PRB cycles.
  • Act as the internal advocate for system‑level behavior, customer operational requirements, and integration constraints.
  • Communicate EMS and system integration behaviors to applications, BD, and execution teams through training, documentation, and solution guides.
  • Prepare solution‑level technical content (architecture diagrams, workflows, operational sequences, competitive comparisons).
  • Validate and contribute technical content for datasheets, brochures, white papers, and marketing material.
  • Ensure modeling outputs (degradation, dispatch logic, operational strategies) are consistent with commercial assumptions and customer communications.
  • Internal Program Leadership & Supply Support

  • Lead internal programs that strengthen product competitiveness, including digital transformation initiatives, workflow automation, internal tool development, and knowledge management.
  • Drive competitive analysis programs with Applications / BD teams to benchmark system‑level capabilities against market peers; translate findings into roadmap recommendations.
  • Develop and maintain internal dashboards, documentation systems, and collaboration frameworks to improve execution efficiency and transparency across global teams.
  • Coordinate cross‑functional progress tracking for integration readiness, EMS deployment, modeling improvements, and other strategic technical programs.
  • Ensure supply readiness by aligning technical requirements, documentation, and validation criteria with procurement, QA, and manufacturing partners.
  • Support supplier onboarding and periodic technical reviews by confirming product readiness, testing alignment, and cross‑team knowledge transfer.
  • Perform other related duties as assigned by management.
  • Qualifications and Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Controls / Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or related technical field; postgraduate degree preferred.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience with EMS, controls, system integration, modeling, or digital engineering in energy storage or power systems.
