Job Description:

Project engineer will work with customer projects to accommodate all customizations required beyond the standard inverter design.

An in-depth understanding of the whole inverter as well as the skid and customer sides is required.

The candidate would closely work with Program management and all R&D areas in order to:

• Evaluate custom requirements which deviate from the standard inverter
• Define inverter performance for specific custom working conditions eg high altitude, power limitation or any other as well as their corresponding inverter derated working conditions.
• Assess feasibility and provide OK to Go for custom requirements

Subsequently will be responsible to generate with the relevant R&D areas the following INVERTER documentation:

• Custom project Components BOM
• Custom project electrical SLD schematic
• Custom project digital I/O schematics
• Custom functional specification for those functionalities which deviate from the standard and deal with the appropriate R&D areas (System controls and FW)
• Work with Mech Eng to update Custom mechanical CAD and drawings
• Custom Project Factory test procedures
• Custom Project Inverter CONFIG files for inverter commissioning
• Upload records of the above in ARENA PLM and interface with Contract Manufacturers to advice on project deviations from the standard.
• Develop and implement procedures with CMs that guarantee customizations are implemented seamlessly for each custom project.
• Take ownership of the above and follow from project definition to manufacturing testing, commissioning and service.

This is a cross-functional knowledge position which may evolve into a larger department with specialized areas, but for now will have to be versatile and agile to work with as many areas of knowledge as mentioned above.
