The opportunity
Peak Energy is the first American venture to advance globally proven Sodium-Ion battery systems as the storage standard for the new era of renewable energy on a resilient grid.
What you'll do
Serve as the technical lead for all ESS hardware.
Lead system design and ensure successful integration across electrical,: mechanical, structural, and thermal systems.
Define and maintain subsystem hardware requirements for HV/LV distribution,: enclosures, interconnects, cooling, and protections.
Own the reliability function: design for reliability, DFMEA, accelerated life testing, and lifetime prediction for high-voltage electronics.
Own verification testing: mechanical reliability, thermal cycling, HV insulation, seismic and structural performance.
Oversee design-for-manufacturability and partner with Manufacturing: Engineering and supply chain to scale production at our Sacramento factory.
What they're looking for
- Ensure compliance with the certification and safety standards that matter for: grid-scale storage — UL 9540, IEC 62933, IEEE 693, NEC Article 706 — and represent Peak with certification bodies.
- Partner with the Product, Software, Systems, and Cell functions to deliver: tight end-to-end product integration.
- Recruit, mentor, and grow a multidisciplinary hardware team spanning: mechanical, structural, thermal, reliability, and test engineering. Own the team's technical bar and career growth.
- + years of hardware engineering experience with at least 5 years in leadership roles.
