About the role

  • Field Applications Engineer troubleshooting EnerSys battery-buffered DC fast chargers and energy storage systems. Analyzing fleet data, validating fixes, and improving deployed charging reliability.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain and improve the reliability, availability, and performance of deployed battery-buffered DC fast charging stations.
  • Work closely with the EnerSys Service team to resolve issues.
  • Troubleshoot complex hardware, software, firmware, communications, networking, and system-level issues affecting charger operation.
  • Lead or support root-cause investigations into charger downtime, unexpected reboots, failed charging sessions, recurring faults, and degraded performance.
  • Perform EV interoperability and compatibility testing across different vehicle manufacturers, models, and charging implementations.
  • Analyze charging protocols, system logs, telemetry, fault data, and charging-session behavior to diagnose vehicle-to-charger compatibility issues.
  • Develop software, scripts, diagnostic utilities, automated tests, and data-analysis tools that improve troubleshooting and system validation.
  • Reproduce field failures in test environments and validate engineering fixes before deployment.
  • Partner with Site Reliability Engineering to analyze large operational datasets and identify systemic reliability trends across the charging fleet.
  • Develop metrics, dashboards, and analytical methods for understanding charger uptime, downtime, reboot frequency, fault recurrence, charging success rates, and recovery performance.
  • Correlate software releases, hardware configurations, vehicle types, environmental conditions, and operational events with reliability outcomes.
  • Translate field and fleet data into actionable engineering recommendations and clearly defined problem statements for hardware and software development teams.
  • Support deployment and validation of corrective actions and measure their effectiveness after release.
  • Collaborate across electrical, mechanical, firmware, software, systems, test, operations, field service, and SRE teams to drive issues through root cause and permanent resolution.
  • Document technical investigations, root causes, corrective actions, test results, and lessons learned to continuously improve the charging platform.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Familiarity with Linux/Unix environments and programming languages such as C and C++.
  • Electrical troubleshooting fundamentals, including the ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, and circuit diagrams.
  • Ability to collect, interpret, and analyze system logs, communication traces, diagnostic data, telemetry, and error codes to support troubleshooting and fault investigation.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to perform structured troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
  • Basic familiarity with high-voltage electrical systems and electrical safety principles.
  • Basic understanding of computer networking, including TCP/IP and IP-based communications.
  • Familiarity with industrial and IoT communication protocols such as Modbus and MQTT.
  • Understanding of common embedded communication buses and protocols, including CAN, I²C, and SPI.
  • Strong technical communication and report-writing skills, with the ability to clearly document problems, investigations, findings, and recommended corrective actions.
  • Ability and willingness to learn new technologies spanning EV charging, battery energy storage, power electronics, embedded systems, software, networking, and data analytics.
  • Valid driver’s license.
  • Ability and willingness to travel approximately 30%, including international travel to locations such as France, Italy, and the United States.

Benefits

  • Paid Holidays
  • Medical, vision and dental
