The grid interconnection is where our system meets the utility - getting it right is fundamental to a safe, compliant and reliable product across every market we serve.\nAs Grid Systems Engineer, you will design and develop the medium-voltage grid interconnection aspects of our power conversion system - from prototype construction and checkout through certification and volume production. You will work closely with the Power Electronics, Firmware and Test & Field teams, and with our external test & certification partners, to ensure our systems meet grid codes and interconnection requirements across our target markets.\nIt is a unique opportunity to shape the grid interface of a breakthrough power electronics platform from an early stage - with direct visibility to the CTO and engineering leadership.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign and develop the medium-voltage (13.8kV-35kV) grid interconnection system and related electromechanical/electronic equipment; prepare related installation, operation and maintenance specifications and instructions.\nAnalyze equipment to establish operating data and conduct experimental tests on grid-interface hardware (transformers, protection, switchgear interfaces) under realistic grid conditions.\nAnalyze engineering proposals and technical data to determine the feasibility of new equipment or modifications to existing designs for different grid voltage levels and markets.\nResponsible for prototype construction and checkout of grid-interconnection subsystems, supporting our Prototype and Alpha Customer milestones.\nCompile operational data and prepare customer application information and documentation for grid-tied deployments.\nEnsure compliance with grid codes, interconnection standards and utility requirements (e.g., IEEE 519, IEEE 1547, IEC 61850, UL 1741) and support certification processes together with our test & certification partners (UL, TÜV, IEC 62477).\nCollaborate with the Power Electronics and Firmware teams on protection coordination, fault ride-through, and control strategies for grid-tied operation.\nRespond to customer and partner technical requests regarding grid interconnection requirements as they occur.\nSupport scaling of the grid-interface design across different grid codes and markets as we move from Alpha Customer readiness to Production and Volume Readiness.\nQualifications\nBSc / MSc in electrical engineering, power systems engineering or comparable education.\nExperience in medium-voltage grid interconnection, power systems, or utility-scale grid-tied power electronics (e.g. solar/wind/BESS inverters, solid-state transformers) preferred.\nFamiliarity with grid codes and interconnection standards (e.g. IEEE 519, IEEE 1547, IEC 61850, IEC 61400, IEC 62933, VDE-AR-N, UL 1741).\nHands-on experience with prototype build, checkout and test of electromechanical/electronic equipment.\nStrong analytical skills; comfortable designing and running experimental tests, analyzing the resulting data, and documenting the results.\nTeam player, comfortable engaging directly with customers and partners on technical requirements.\nLanguage skills: fluent in English, spoken and written; German language skills helpful, but not mandatory.\nThe job will be located at our HQ in Egg b. Zürich in Switzerland. National and international willingness to travel is assumed.\nBenefits\nEquity + competitive salary.\nUnique technology and market opportunity - validated prototype and first paying customers on the path to volume shipments.\nHybrid work with flexible working times.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3781,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible schedule","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Servers & Data Center Hardware","Power Supplies & Power Electronics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T15:08:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":37,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.49,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":40,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:3","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hyperscale-power-grid-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hyperscale-power-grid-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T17:04:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6548,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3786767},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3786767"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhyperscale-power-grid-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhyperscale-power-grid-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhyperscale-power-grid-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hyperscale-power-grid-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhyperscale-power-grid-systems-engineer"}]}
