What you will do

• Design and optimize >1MW scale DC solar arrays and power distribution systems specifically for integration with alkaline electrolysers and thermal reactors.
• Engineer and certify combiner boxes and high‑power inverter integrations while managing complex cable layouts, sizing, and containment designs to BS & IEC standards.
• Model various configurations and assembly methods to drive down the cost of solar‑to‑fuel energy conversion and improve overall system efficiency.

The ideal candidate

• Possesses 5+ years of experience in power systems engineering, specifically designing and deploying large‑scale DC solar arrays or industrial power distribution.
• Proficient in circuit diagramming using tools like SolidWorks Electrical and has a proven track record of certifying hardware to relevant safety and performance standards.
