Role Summary
The BESS Electrical Design Engineer is responsible for the design, analysis, and validation of electrical systems for utility-scale and industrial battery energy storage solutions. The role includes designing HV/LV electrical architecture, protection schemes, cable routing, battery rack wiring, earthing/grounding, and grid interconnection while ensuring compliance with global standards and secure, reliable operation.
Key Responsibilities
Develop complete electrical architecture for containerized or modular BESS that includes HV battery racks and string design, DC bus architecture, PCS/inverter integration, LV auxiliaries (HVAC, fire systems, controls, lighting)
Prepare SLDs (Single Line Diagrams), wiring schematics, and interconnection drawings.
Define cable sizing, protection device selection, busbar design, and interconnection details.
Prepare technical documentation such as SLD, Wiring diagrams, Protection coordination studies, Electrical BoM (Bill of Materials), Installation manuals




Support UL/IEC certification activities with required electrical design artefacts.
Design HV DC circuits including Contactor, Fuses/breakers, DC isolators,
Define creepage/clearance, dielectric strength, and insulation coordination.
Design LV AC/DC circuits for auxiliary systems and control circuits.
Ensure compliance with IEEE, IEC, NEC, CEA, NFPA, UL, and utility grid codes.
Develop electrical protection strategies: overcurrent, short circuit, earth fault, arc flash, isolation monitoring.
Work with BMS and EMS teams to align electrical protection with software/logic protection.
Support arc-flash studies, fault current calculations, and grounding/earthing design.
Ensure compliance with UL 9540, UL 1973, IEC 62933, and NFPA 855.
Integrate battery racks, PCS/inverters, MV skids, transformers, HVAC, fire suppression, and control systems.
Develop cable routing, harnessing plans, and connector specifications.
