## Description

We are looking for a Global Application Engineer with good know-how of controls for AC and DC microgrids, relevant experience in the key parts of a microgrid: solar PV, battery energy storage, AC/DC and DC/DC converters, electrical protection and grid connection, are considered valuable assets.

The role combines hands-on technical work, from reference architectures to testing, validation and project execution, with close customer contact on real projects, including DC microgrid pilots. You'll be the link between customers, R&D, product management and research centers, bringing market needs into new developments and helping turn technical solutions into business.

Depending on your background, your focus will be either on grid-connected AC microgrids for industrial and commercial customers, or on DC microgrid installations and pilots.

Work model: Hybrid (#LI hybrid)

You will be mainly accountable for:

 * Supporting customers and sales teams in industrial and commercial segments, from early technical discussions to solution proposals, for MG electrical & control systems serving solar PV, battery energy storage and variable loads.
 * Developing and promoting reference architectures and application notes for AC and DC microgrids using ABB's low voltage portfolio, converters and digital solutions.
 * Planning and managing microgrid installations and pilot projects, from system design and panel solutions to commissioning support.
 * Supporting development, testing and validation of applications, including supplier selection and purchasing.
 * Working with R&D, product management, digital teams and research centers to bring market needs into new developments.
 * Analyzing the competitive landscape and market trends and recommend adjustments to mid- and long-term strategy.
