## Description

Join a company at the forefront of the renewable energy industry that is solving some of the most complex technical challenges in utility-scale battery storage. Rather than joining a traditional engineering team, you'll become the senior technical expert responsible for investigating and solving high-impact field issues that directly affect customers across North and South America. You'll work alongside product engineering, field service, commissioning, and quality teams while helping shape the future reliability of large-scale energy storage systems. This is an opportunity to make a visible impact, influence product improvements, and establish yourself as the go-to subject matter expert within a rapidly growing organization.Job Description, Our client is seeking a senior Fire Systems Engineer to serve as the technical escalation point for complex fire detection, fire alarm, and fire suppression issues across a fleet of utility-scale battery energy storage systems. This role focuses on troubleshooting production issues, performing root cause analysis, and driving long-term reliability improvements for systems already deployed in the field. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable investigating hardware, controls, networking, and fire protection systems, with the ability to diagnose problems from the physical device through the communication and control layers. Working closely with engineering, product, field service, commissioning, manufacturing, and quality teams, this individual will lead technical investigations, develop best practices, improve service procedures, and help reduce customer downtime across North and South America.
