About the role
ESS Regulatory & Certification Management :
Own the end-to-end compliance lifecycle for all ESS products, driving certification projects from physical prototype validation through to final listing.
Serve as the primary on-site technical escort and point of contact for Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) such as UL, Intertek, or CSA during open compliance projects and follow-up services.
Author compliance test plans, construction files, and technical documentation required for regulatory submittals.
Collaborate on the hardware verification of BMS, System software/controllers, telematics, etc. to meet Functional Safety and EMC requirements.
On-site Pre-Compliance Testing & Validation:
Set up, configure, and execute in-house pre-compliance testing protocols within the R&D lab, including dielectric withstand (hipot), insulation resistance, thermal profiling, and fault simulation.
Maintain, calibrate, and manage lab instrumentation and safety equipment dedicated to compliance testing.
Witness and document live testing phases, ensuring physical configurations strictly mirror technical submittal files.
R&D Electrical Design:
Partner directly with the Electrical Systems Engineer for hybrid power generation system design, wiring topologies, and component selections (inverters, DC/DC’s, wire harnesses) to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards.
Maintain up-to-date knowledge on the evolving regulatory standards for Hybrid Energy and Energy Storage Systems.
Analyze high-voltage and low-voltage distribution paths on physical prototypes, ensuring proper grounding architecture, overcurrent protection, and critical spacings are being met.
Standards Expertise:
Interpret and apply critical ESS standards to active designs, including:
UL 9540 (Energy Storage Systems and Equipment) and UL 9540A (Thermal Runaway Fire Propagation Testing).
UL 1973 (Batteries for Use in Stationary Applications).
UN / DoT Transportation Guidelines for Shipping of Lithium-Ion Batteries and Hazardous materials.
NFPA 855 (Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems).
