Own the engineered solution architecture across portable, stationary, trailer-mounted, rooftop, and containerized. The engineer supports pre-sales application engineering (RFQs, specs, sizing, BOMs, conceptual drawings), enables scope clarity and risk mitigation, and drives clean handoffs to Engineering/Manufacturing while improving responsiveness, quality, and cycle time. Key technical domains include PowerDyne resistor technology, transformer sizing and specification (MV load bank systems), SCCR coordination, UL 508A compliance, and system-level integration with generators, switchgear, and utility interconnects. We are looking for people who believe in our guiding principles and values of: * Safety - We believe everyone should leave Trystar facilities in the same or better condition than when they arrived. * Integrity - We're honest, transparent, and committed to doing what's right. * Customer focus - We have relentless focus on our customers and their success. * Right with speed - We use good judgement, make thoughtful decisions quickly, and execute them with purpose and intensity. * Play for each other - We're a team. We show up for each other and we know that through teamwork we achieve greatness. * Champion change - We know adaptation and improvement are requirements to survive and to thrive. * Enjoy the journey - We create an environment where our team feels appreciated and has fun along the way. In this role you will get to: 1. Product Expertise & Technical Authority (Load Bank Systems) * Serve as the system and product SME for Trystar's full load bank portfolio: LV resistive/reactive, MV transformer-coupled load banks, portable, stationary, trailer-mounted, and rooftop configurations. * Provide configuration guidance, value engineering, and product selection aligned to application requirements - including PowerDyne resistor technology, SCCR coordination, transformer sizing, and UL 508A compliance. * Recommend the right solution path by translating customer specifications into optimal load bank configurations, identifying standard vs. non-standard vs. ETO scope. * Maintain deep technical knowledge of generator testing protocols, commissioning loads, data center acceptance testing, and utility load-rejection testing applications. 2. Customer Application Support (Pre- & Post-Sales) * Provide application and technical support to customers and internal partners (Sales/FSE/CX) for load bank applications across data centers, utilities, rental fleets, military/government, healthcare, and industrial sectors. * Work with customers and design engineers to ensure that load bank equipment meets system requirements - acting as a trusted advisor on sizing, configuration, and integration. * Support post-sales troubleshooting of field issues related to load bank performance, control systems, and site integration as needed. * Conduct technical discovery calls with customers to clarify load bank application requirements, site constraints, and performance expectations. 3. Pre-Sale / Proposal & Quoting Support * Review load bank RFQs and customer specifications; support one-line diagrams, layout reviews, and scope-of-work definition. * Support proposals: load bank equipment sizing, BOMs, conceptual drawings, MV transformer specifications, and budgetary quote packages. * Lead/support customer design reviews and value engineering for load bank systems - document assumptions, exclusions, and risk mitigations. * Ensure compliance with UL/NEC/IEEE/NFPA standards as required for each load bank request. 4. Customization & Modification Planning * Evaluate customer-driven modification requests for load bank systems - assess feasibility, engineering effort, and risk before committing to engineering scope. * Collaborate with ETO/RDE teams to define custom load bank configurations including non-standard resistor arrangements, enclosure modifications, control system integrations, and MV transformer pairings. * Document modification scope clearly to minimize engineering rework and ensure manufacturing readiness. * Identify recurring customization patterns and recommend standard product enhancements to reduce future engineering burden. 6. Technical Documentation & Scalable Knowledge * Establish and maintain load bank-specific design guides, application notes, sizing tools, and technical reference documents. * Develop and maintain load bank product comparison matrices, competitive positioning documents, and FAQ resources for Sales/Field Sales Engineering teams. * Author white papers and application notes on load bank technology, testing methodologies, and best practices. * Maintain revision control and ensure documentation is current with product updates and engineering changes. 7. Training & Stakeholder Education * Deliver load bank product and application training sessions for internal and external stakeholders. * Create scalable training modules covering load bank sizing, configuration, MV system integration, and common application scenarios. * Support onboarding of new team members with load bank technical fundamentals. * Participate in lunch-and-learn sessions, webinars, and sales conferences focused on load bank capabilities. 8. Professional Presence * Participate in customer site visits with Sales to support load bank application discovery, technical presentations, and relationship building. * Represent Trystar at trade shows, conferences, and industry events relevant to load bank and power testing markets. * Maintain a professional and technical presence that reinforces Trystar's position as the premier custom load bank solution provider. 9. VOC Capture * Capture actionable Voice of Customer (problem + context + impact) from load bank engagements and translate into product/content actions with the engineering and R&D. * Provide market intelligence on competitive load bank offerings, customer pain points, and emerging application trends (e.g., renewable energy testing, battery energy storage commissioning). * Collaborate with Product Management on load bank product roadmap input, new product definition, and feature prioritization. * Identify opportunities to standardize frequently requested custom configurations into new standard load bank offerings. ## Related Videos - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
