Position OverviewThe Manager of BESS Standard Solutions is responsible for leading a multidisciplinary engineering team to develop, optimize, and maintain standardized battery energy storage system (BESS) power block solutions. This role focuses on creating technically sound, commercially competitive, and execution-ready standard configurations built around LGES ESS products, paired with appropriately specified power conversion systems (PCS) and medium-voltage transformers (MVT). The outputs of this team directly enable our Sales teams to efficiently bid projects using pre-engineered, well-documented solutions, while also supporting downstream execution teams post-contract. This role reports to the Director of Project and Applications Engineering. This role will work out of LGES Vertech's Westborough, MA office.
Primary Responsibilities- Lead and manage a team of engineers with specialties spanning electrical engineering, PCS, transformers, system engineering, and technical documentation.
- Establish and enforce engineering rigor, documentation standards, and review processes within the team.
- Mentor and develop team members, setting clear expectations, goals, and performance standards.
- Define and own standard BESS power block architectures, including battery containers, PCS, MV transformers, auxiliary systems, and interfaces.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Engineering, Sales Engineering, Project Engineering, Supply Chain, Product Management, to align standard solutions with business strategy.
- Specify and technically vet PCS and MV transformer solutions in collaboration with Supply Chain, ensuring alignment with performance, reliability, cost, and constructability goals.
- Perform system-level technical analysis and due diligence to optimize standard solutions for performance, efficiency, grid compliance, constructability, and lifecycle cost.
- Ensure standard solutions meet applicable codes, standards, and interconnection requirements across target markets.
- Develop and maintain high-quality documentation for standard solutions, including technical descriptions, one-lines, schematics, performance envelopes, assumptions, and constraints.
- Enable Sales and Sales Engineering teams by providing clear, consistent, and trusted standard solution packages for project bidding.
- Support execution teams post-contract by ensuring standard solution documentation is sufficient for detailed engineering, procurement, and construction.
- Drive continuous improvement of standard offerings based on market feedback, project learnings, supplier updates, and cost or performance optimization opportunities.
Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Engineering
- 6+ years of experience in BESS related Engineering
- Deep understanding of BESS Systems including Inverters, Batteries, BMS, Transformers, and Controls
- Prior experience leading or managing technical teams
- Ability to translate complex technical solutions into clear, customer ready documentation
- Strong cross functional communication skills
- Demonstrated ability to balance technical rigor with commercial practicality
- Comfortable in fast paced environment with competing priorities and evolving product offerings
- Experience performing technical studies, system optimization, and engineering due diligence for BESS systems
