BESS System Architect
Pubblicato il 31-07-2026 - Hitachi Vantara in Genova
ppAs a BESS System Architect, you are the technical authority for end‑to‑end Battery Energy Storage System architecture, spanning grid, electrical balance of plant, batteries, power conversion, automation, software, and services. This is a non‑managerial yet pivotal role within the TSD organization, critical to both execution excellence and future differentiation. You ensure architectural coherence, technical robustness, and long‑term scalability of GPQSS BESS solutions, supporting RD projects and providing expert support to CoC (tendering execution) and to Technology and Product Management in roadmap definition. The role requires strong system‑level thinking, the ability to author architecture and system specification documents, and credibility to influence multidisciplinary teams without line authority. /p h3How you'll make an impact /h3 h3System Architecture Technical Authority /h3 ul liDefine, maintain, and evolve the bend-to-end BESS system architecture /b from bgrid to cell /b, including EBoP, PCS, batteries, protection, automation, software, and services. /li liAct as barchitectural backbone /b for RD projects, ensuring technical coherence during development and integration. /li liOwn the bsystem architecture framework /b, reference models, and design principles for GPQSS BESS solutions. /li liAuthor and maintain barchitecture and system specification documents /b aligned with GPQSS standards and comparable in depth and clarity to existing BESS architecture analyses. /li /ul h3System Requirements Integration /h3 ul liLead bsystem-level requirement definition /b, ensuring traceability across disciplines and lifecycle phases. /li liIdentify and manage bcross-domain dependencies /b (electrical, mechanical, control, software, cybersecurity,
