Grid Technology Technical Marketing Manager

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Solution & Grid Integration

• Lead technical discussions regarding the integration of BESS and PV Inverters into national electrical networks.
• Plan and design complex power systems with high penetration of renewable energy, ensuring compliance with local Grid Codes and international standards.
• Provide innovative solutions for grid connection challenges, ensuring stability and reliability for utility-scale projects.
• Apply in-depth knowledge of grid support technologies for BESS and PV inverters, specifically focusing on Grid Forming applications (Virtual Synchronous Machine, Black Start, Inertia Support) in weak grids.

2. Simulation & Analysis (Leadership & Supervision)

• Supervise and lead the technical team in conducting advanced RMS and EMT power system simulations to validate system performance and troubleshoot complex issues.
• Oversee the utilization of industry-standard software such as PSCAD, PSS/E, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, and MATLAB.
• Guide the team in performing Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and validation using RTDS and/or RT-Lab to verify control strategies before deployment.
• Note: While this is a leadership function, candidates with hands-on experience in conducting these simulations personally are highly preferred.

3. Technical Marketing & Business Support

• Act as the technical bridge between R&D and the market; translate complex technical specifications into compelling value propositions for customers.
• Support the sales team by presenting technical feasibility studies and solution benefits to high-level stakeholders (TSOs, DSOs, Developers, and Regulators).
• Identify market trends and customer pain points to propose innovative product applications and system solutions.

4. Continuous Improvement & Team Support

• Function as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) within the team, supporting colleagues with technical problem-solving.
• Maintain a "self-learner" mindset, constantly updating knowledge on emerging grid technologies and market dynamics.
• Collaborate with global teams to share knowledge and standardize best practices.

Qualifications & Requirements
