Job Description:
Deep decarbonization of electricity generation together with the electrification of several end-use applications is necessary to address the climate crisis. Energy Storage Systems (ESS), such as batteries, are a key enabler for deep decarbonization to balance supply and demand. Schneider Electric's Energy Storage Center of Excellence enables deep decarbonization through the development of innovative energy storage products that are battery technology-agnostic, scalable, cost-effective, and manufacturable
Schneider Electric is looking for a Principal Technical Expert - Embedded Firmware for Battery Management Systems (BMS) & Battery Packs for its Energy Storage Center of Excellence (CoE). SE's Energy Storage CoE enables company's growth through the development of innovative energy storage products that are battery technology-agnostic, scalable, cost-effective, and manufacturable.
