• Rapid Response: Act as the primary technical responder for automated alarms and high-priority incidents across the global BESS fleet.
• System Deep-Dives: Remotely troubleshoot and resolve issues across the full BESS stack: Battery Management Systems (BMS), Power Conversion Systems (Inverters), HVAC, and SCADA controllers.
• Field Coordination: Drive Incident Management by providing Field Service Engineers (FSEs) with precise diagnostic data to minimize "mean time to repair" (MTTR) and meet strict SLAs.

3. Industrial Networking & SCADA

• Connectivity: Troubleshoot industrial protocols e.g., Modbus

4. Incident Management & Documentation

• Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Transition from "fix" to "prevent" by documenting technical evidence for Engineering and Product teams to resolve recurring fleet-wide bugs.
• Reporting: Maintain high-fidelity incident records to ensure seamless handovers during 24/7 shift rotations.

Qualifications & Experience

Minimum Requirements:

• Education:Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, electronics, or computer Engineering
