Join us as an

Technical Expert - System Architecture for Large-Scale PV & BESS (m/f/d)

to contribute to the research and development of next-generation large-scale PV and battery energy storage systems at Huawei Power Conversion Technology Laboratory. The position focuses on system architecture, PV-storage coupling, medium-voltage transformer stations and system cost optimization.

Your mission

· You will lead architecture studies for next-generation large-scale PV and BESS systems, covering string and centralized inverter solutions, Hybrid plants and various large-scale implementations.

· You will develop decoupled PV and BESS architectures using dedicated PV inverters and battery PCS, and define the optimal coupling approach at DC, LVAC or MVAC level.

· You will define integrated solutions for PV inverters, PCS, transformers, MV switchgear, battery systems and PPC/EMS.

· You will formulate key requirements for inverter-transformer and PCS-transformer stations, including voltage, power rating, impedance, losses, cooling, protection and interfaces.

· You will drive system cost reduction through architecture simplification, equipment consolidation, optimized power-block sizing and reduced transformer and MV station costs.

· You will evaluate technical trade-offs among efficiency, cost, availability, scalability, grid compliance and operational flexibility.

· You will collaborate with internal teams, universities and industry partners to validate new system concepts and generate intellectual property

Your areas of expertise:

· You hold a PhD or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, power electronics, power systems or a related discipline.

· You have proven industrial experience in large-scale PV, BESS or hybrid power plant system design.

· You are familiar with string and centralized inverter architectures and centralized and distributed PCS solutions.

· You have practical experience with MV transformer stations and integrated inverter/PCS-transformer solutions.

· You understand transformer selection and cost drivers, including power rating, voltage level, winding configuration, impedance, losses, cooling and integration with MV switchgear.

· You have experience in system-level cost optimization and can translate architecture decisions into subsystem requirements.

· Experience with PV-storage coupling, PPC/EMS, grid-forming storage and system modelling is highly desirable. You are self-driven, innovative and fluent in written and spoken English.
