Job Title: System Engineer Pay Rate: Up to $ 65-75/hr. (DOE) Location: Berkeley, CA Zip Code: 94702 A System Engineer job opportunity is available with our client in Berkeley, CA. You will be responsible for defining the technical requirements, interfaces, and integration strategies that ensure our large-scale energy storage systems operate reliably and safely. This role requires a holistic mindset, strong collaboration across multidisciplinary teams (mechanical, electrical, controls, and manufacturing), and a drive to solve tough technical challenges in service of our clean energy mission. Job Duties

• Define and manage system-level requirements, functional specifications, and interface control documents for core battery system architecture.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and firmware engineering teams to ensure subsystem designs are seamlessly integrated and meet performance targets.
• Lead system-level validation and integration testing, developing test plans that verify safety, reliability, and functionality under diverse operating conditions.
• Perform trade-off analyses to optimize system performance, cost, and manufacturability, identifying potential risks early in the development lifecycle.
• Conduct root cause analysis for complex system-level failures, working cross-functionally to implement effective engineering solutions.
• Decompose requirements and functions from system-level down to component-level, ensuring traceability.
• Help bridge the gap between complex subsystem designs and high-level product architecture.
