Company Description

Allye Energy is revolutionising the energy storage sector with our cutting-edge Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) built using repurposed EV batteries. As part of our innovative approach to sustainable energy solutions, we are expanding our capabilities to integrate DC fast charging technology with our battery energy storage systems, creating a comprehensive energy ecosystem for the future of clean mobility and energy storage.Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled

Power Electronics Engineer

to join our small but dynamic team of 13 technical specialists. This role is critical to our strategic expansion into DC fast charging integration with our BESS products. The successful candidate will be responsible for the system architecture development, software integration, and technical implementation that enables our BESS to both recharge from public DC fast chargers and integrate existing EV charging hardware into our energy storage solutions.This is not a role for developing EV chargers from scratch, but rather for

intelligent system integration

and

software architecture

that bridges the gap between DC fast charging infrastructure and battery energy storage systems.Responsibilities

System Architecture and Integration

Design and develop system architecture for integrating third-party DC fast chargers (from OEMs like Alpitronic, ABB, Kempower, etc.) with Allye''s BESSCreate interface specifications and communication protocols between EV charging hardware and our battery management systemsDevelop integration strategies for multiple charging standards (CCS1, CCS2, NACS, CHAdeMO)Design power electronics integration pathways for bidirectional energy flow between BESS and charging infrastructure

Software Integration and OCPP Implementation

Lead software integration projects with our control system and implement OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) 1.6 and 2.0.1 complianceDevelop and maintain communication interfaces for charging session management, billing integration, and real-time monitoringCreate robust API frameworks for seamless integration with charge point management systems (CPMS)Implement security protocols and encryption for safe data exchange between systemsWork with WebSocket, MQTT, REST APIs, and other communication protocols

DC Fast Charging Network Integration

Enable Allye''s BESS to recharge from public DC fast charging networksDevelop adapter strategies and interface solutions for different charging connector typesImplement smart charging algorithms that optimise energy flow based on grid conditions, battery state, and charging ratesCreate interoperability solutions ensuring our systems work with existing and emerging charging standards

Hardware Interface Development

Design electrical interfaces and control systems for integration with existing EV charging hardwareCollaborate with mechanical engineers on physical integration challenges and thermal managementDevelop safety systems and emergency protocols for high-voltage DC charging integrationCreate test procedures and validation protocols for integrated charging systems

Standards Compliance and Certification

Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards: SAE J1772, IEC 61851, UL2202, ISO 15118Support certification processes for integrated systems (CE marking, UL listing, etc.)Stay current with evolving EV charging standards and emerging technologies like Plug and Charge and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)Maintain knowledge of grid codes and utility interconnection requirements

Collaboration and Documentation

Work closely with software, mechanical, and systems engineering teamsCreate comprehensive technical documentation including system specifications, integration guides, and troubleshooting proceduresSupport field deployment and provide technical guidance for installation teamsCollaborate with external partners, OEMs, and certification bodies
