- Independently manage technical process improvement initiatives with broad scope objectives
- Interface with internal teams and OEMs, providing technical direction on inverter-related issues
Supporting Responsibilities – Solar Inverter Engineering:
- Analyse component failure rates and support development of corrective work plans
- Develop subject matter expertise in at least one inverter OEM technology
- Perform root cause analysis (RCA) for inverter and solar field equipment failures
- Support field technicians and control centre operators in troubleshooting inverter issues
- Develop engineering countermeasures for recurring system failures
- Support regulatory reporting and data requests as required
Additional Requirements:
- Work cross-functionally with operations, engineering, and OEM partners
- Support continuous improvement of solar fleet performance and reliability
- Provide technical insight into inverter system behaviour and failure trends
