Embedded Platform Lead - Microgrid and DER Control Platforms

About the Role

The role oversees the integration of embedded software platforms for microgrid and distributed energy resource (DER) control systems. It involves consolidating all software components—such as the user interface, historian, email notification service, alarm management, sequence of events service, and reporting features—while ensuring communication between embedded systems and external services. The engineer applies software architecture standards and integration protocols to meet product requirements, supports ongoing improvements in performance, reliability, and maintainability, and provides technical guidance and mentorship to development and support teams. • Lead integration of embedded software platforms for microgrid and DER control systems. • Consolidate UI, historian, notification, alarm, event sequencing, and reporting modules. • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to enable communication between embedded and external services. • Apply software architecture standards and integration protocols per product specifications. • Enhance system performance, reliability, and maintainability. • Mentor development and support teams on technical best practices. • Ensure compliance with technology standards and non‑functional requirements. • Deliver an operational microgrid control platform with interoperable services. • Maintain high uptime, accurate event reporting, and effective alarm/notification systems. • Foster collaboration among engineering, QA, and customer support.
