As a BESS System Architect, you are the technical authority for end-to-end Battery Energy Storage System architecture, spanning grid, electrical balance of plant, batteries, power conversion, automation, software, and services.
This is a non-managerial, but a pivotal role within the T&SD; organization, critical to both execution excellence and future differentiation.
You ensure architectural coherence, technical robustness, and long-term scalability of GPQSS BESS solutions, supporting R&D; projects, but also providing expert support to CoC (tendering & execution), and to Technology and Product Management in roadmap definition.
The role requires strong system-level thinking, the ability to author architecture and system specification documents, and credibility to influence multidisciplinary teams without line authority.
How you'll make an impactSystem Architecture & Technical Authority
- Define, maintain, and evolve the end-to-end BESS system architecture from grid to cell, including EBoP, PCS, batteries, protection, automation, software, and services.




- Act as architectural backbone for R&D; projects, ensuring technical coherence during development and integration.
- Own the system architecture framework, reference models, and design principles for GPQSS BESS solutions.
- Author and maintain architecture and system specification documents aligned with GPQSS standards and comparable in depth and clarity to existing BESS architecture analyses.

System Requirements & Integration
- Lead system-level requirement definition, ensuring traceability across disciplines and lifecycle phases.
- Identify and manage cross-domain dependencies (electrical, mechanical, control, software, cyber security, services).
- Support architectural trade-offs related to performance, safety, cost, scalability, and lifecycle value.

Tendering & Execution Support
- Provide architectural guidance during tendering, feasibility studies, and pre-FEED activities.
- Support execution teams by resolving co
