Technical Expert - System Architecture for Large-Scale PV & BESS

As Technical Expert, you drive architecture studies for next‑generation large-scale PV and battery energy storage systems. You shape decoupled PV–BESS architectures and define integrated solutions across inverters, PCS, transformers and MV switchgear. You’ll optimize costs while balancing efficiency, scalability, and grid compliance, collaborating with universities and industry partners to validate concepts and generate IP. This role sits at Huawei’s Power Conversion Technology Laboratory, contributing to strategic technology planning and advanced power solutions.
