Power Systems Engineer

Company: DynaChrg Inc.
Location: Calabasas, California / Hybrid / Remote
Employment Type: Full-Time
Compensation: TBD
About DynaChrg
DynaChrg develops intelligent EV-charging and energy-management technology for charge point operators, property owners, fleets, utilities, and public-sector customers.
Our EVES platform brings together multi-vendor EVSEs (charger units) management, real-time monitoring, energy optimization, dynamic load management, utility coordination, and operational control.
We are seeking an experienced Power Systems professional to help shape the next generation of our platform.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Power Systems Engineer to join our team and help design the next generation of EV charging infrastructure.
The role will focus on the design, sizing, and optimization of EVSE sites for AC and DC power, integrating utility grid power, microgrids, renewable energy, battery energy storage systems, energy management and dynamic load management.
The role will lead in translating business, customer, utility, operational, and regulatory needs into clear functional requirements, product functionality, energy-management logic, design documentation, and acceptance criteria.
The candidate will work directly with the CEO and executive leadership and collaborate across Product, Technology, Software Development, Hardware Integration, QA, Operations, and Business Development.
This is not a charger-hardware design role or a software-development management position. However, the candidate must have sufficient software-development experience and exposure to participate effectively in product-roadmap discussions, architecture reviews, sprint activities, implementation decisions, QA validation, and releases.
Key Responsibilities
· Serve as DynaChrg’s senior subject-matter expert for AC and DC EV charging, charging management systems, power systems, and energy management
· Help shape DynaChrg’s product strategy and roadmap based on customer needs, technology changes, utility requirements, industry standards, and market opportunities
· Translate business and operational needs into functional specifications, use cases, workflows, user stories, operating rules, and testable acceptance criteria
· Define and review functional requirements for dynamic load management, power allocation, demand management, and energy optimization
· Define how EV-charging functionality should behave under normal, constrained, and failure conditions
· Apply strong knowledge of electrical-service capacity, transformers, switchgear, panels, metering, charging demand, building loads, and distributed energy resources
· Design and size electrical infrastructure for Level 2, DC fast charging, fleet, depot, and high-power EV charging sites
· Perform site load modeling and determine realistic coincident charging demand
· Support integrations involving EV chargers, battery storage, solar systems, building loads, meters, SCADA, building-management systems, and utility platforms
· Size utility services, transformers, switchgear, feeders, protection systems, and distribution equipment
Lead utility capacity assessments and grid interconnection engineering
· Develop dynamic load-management and peak-demand reduction strategies
· Perform load-flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, voltage-drop, harmonic, and power-quality studies
· Develop single-line diagrams, Basis of Design documents, load calculations, and equipment specifications
· Support projects from feasibility and conceptual design through construction and commissioning
· Develop and maintain clear functional specifications, workflows, sequence diagrams, operating logic, state diagrams, data requirements, and design decisions.
· Support strategic customer discussions, utility engagements, technical proposals, partnerships, and pilot programs
Required Qualifications
· Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Systems, or a closely related discipline
· At least eight years of relevant professional experience
· Strong working knowledge of electrical power systems, three-phase power, transformers, switchgear, panels, metering, load management, demand control, and power quality
· Experience defining dynamic load-management, power-allocation, demand-management, or energy-optimization requirements and functional logic
· Experience working with Product, Software Development, and QA teams throughout the software-development lifecycle
· Ability to translate complex business, electrical, operational, and regulatory needs into clear functional requirements and acceptance criteria
· Sufficient familiarity with cloud platforms, APIs, microservices, databases, IoT communications, cybersecurity, event-driven systems, and real-time data processing to work effectively with software teams
· Strong technical writing, analytical, problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills
· Experience with utility interconnection and medium-/low-voltage electrical systems
Preferred Qualifications
· Experience contributing to the roadmap or functional architecture of a commercial charging station management system, energy-management system, DERMS, microgrid controller, or utility platform
· Experience integrating EV charging with battery storage, solar, building loads, meters, SCADA, building-management systems, or utility platforms
· Experience with V1G, V2G, B2G, bidirectional charging, demand response, or distributed-energy controls
· Familiarity with California Type Evaluation Program requirements for commercial EV charging
· Familiarity with power-system modeling and analytical tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, OpenDSS, GridLAB-D, pandapower, ETAP, or comparable platforms
· Experience working directly with executive leadership, utilities, charger OEMs, customers, and strategic partners
· Experience with Medium-voltage distribution
