Our breakthrough Znyth aqueous zinc battery was designed to overcome the limitations of conventional lithium-ion technology. It is safe, scalable, efficient, sustainable, manufactured in the U.S., and the core of our innovative systems that today provides utility, industrial, and commercial customers with a proven, reliable energy storage alternative for 3 to 12-hour applications. Eos was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Edison, New Jersey. For more information about Eos (NASDAQ: EOSE), visit eose.com.

About the Role The Project Engineer will be responsible for performing technical work to deliver Battery Energy Storage Systems (ESS). Project Engineer will work with cross-functional teams to ensure technical requirements for clients BESS (Battery Energy Storage) projects are fulfilled to company and customer expectations. This is a customer facing position, to create utility scale battery storage systems throughout the United States and the rest of the world.

Accountable For: Executing the project engineering efforts in developing and designing battery energy storage systems (BESS) as well as their power electronics and controls. The tasks include maintaining existing projects and supporting the creation of automated test equipment for project deployments.

Responsibilities

• Develop, coordinate, review, and maintain technical oversight of engineering and design of contracted energy storage projects.
• Design and review the BESS, including power conversion systems (Inverters & DC/DC Converters), isolation and power transformers, medium voltage switchgear, protection and control systems, grounding, low and medium voltage ac and dc cable systems, and plant auxiliary equipment.
• Work closely with Project Managers, Engineers, Customers, AHJs, and others to meet the contractual commitments. Act as a technical consultant for other Eos units and for more junior PEs.
• Develop specifications, drawings and controls and protections strategies for contracted projects.
• Participate in continuous improvement of standard processes, procedures, documentation, and tools to effectively deliver a wide range of project solutions.
• Ensure all project engineering deliverables for assigned projects are on schedule / on budget and communicate project status to internal and external audiences via standardized project controls systems.
• Work with other engineers pre- and post-contract award to optimize customer BESS solutions, use case reviews and commercial proposal strategies and processes.
• Maintain project documentation and assist in creating vendor technical specifications and user instructions for optimal use of the designed BESS.
• Provide support to Field Service Technicians when troubleshooting in field commissioning and service operations.
• Understand and utilize technical standards for reviews, documentation, and designs such as UL, UN, IEC, ISO, ECE and other engineering standards.
• Collaborate with Product Engineering to define, refine and improve BESS systems.
• Other duties, responsibilities and activities may change or be assigned at any time with or without notice, in the spirit of an agile design group within an active technology company.

Working Conditions

• Overnight/North America: Less than 10%.
• Office Environment - Must be able to remain in a stationary position 50% of the time and occasionally move about inside the office to access file cabinets, office machinery, etc. Required to have close visual acuity to perform an activity such as: preparing and analyzing data and figures; transcribing; viewing a computer terminal; extensive reading. May be required to exert up to 25 pounds of force occasionally to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects, including the human body.
• Factory - The worker may be subject to hazards. Includes a variety of physical conditions, such as proximity to moving mechanical parts, vibration, moving vehicles, electrical current, exposure to temperature changes or exposure to chemicals. While performing the duties of this job, the employee may be exposed to fumes, airborne particles, odors, dust, mists, and gases. The noise level in the work environment can be loud. Required to have close visual acuity to perform an activity such as: preparing and analyzing data and figures; transcribing; viewing a computer terminal; extensive reading; visual inspection involving small defects, small parts, and/or operation of machines (including inspection); using measurement devices; and/or assembly or fabrication parts at distances close to the eyes. Machinery operation requires the use of safety equipment to include but not limited to eye safety glasses, hearing protectors, work boots, and lab coats. May be required to exert up to 50 pounds of force occasionally to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects, including the human body.
• Customer/Partner Locations - Employee may visit customer or partner locations that may be comprised of office, manufacturing floor, laboratory environments and construction sites depending on the location and reason for visit.
