Mechanical Energy Storage, BTM R&D
Mechanical engineer owning BESS enclosure design, thermal management (validated by test), and behind-the-meter site integration for AI data center energy storage. Requires experience with power electronics or thermal-critical systems, safety codes like NFPA 855, vendor evaluation, and field deployment support.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Engineer mechanical design for energy storage: BESS enclosures, thermal management, and site integration behind the meter.
- Own thermal design: cooling for containers and enclosures across climates, validated rather than vendored.
- Integrate storage mechanically into the campus: pads, clearances, fire separation, and service access engineered.
- Review vendor systems hard: what the datasheet claims versus what the fleet will live with.
- Support field deployment of designs.
Requirements
- Mechanical engineering experience for BESS, power electronics, or thermal-critical enclosures.
- Engineered thermal management validated by test.
- Knowledge of safety codes shaping storage siting, including NFPA 855, and design to them.
- Evaluate vendor equipment beyond the brochure.
- Supported field deployment of designs.
Nice-to-Haves
- Lithium-ion thermal behavior.
- CFD.
- Fire suppression interfaces.
- Utility-scale storage projects.
