Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Who we are:

Ceres is leading the way in clean energy innovation pioneering advancements in electrolysis for green hydrogen production and fuel cells for future power solutions. With our dynamic licensing model weve built powerful partnerships with major multinational companies like Bosch Doosan Shell and Weichai and our solid oxide platform is transforming energy systems delivering highefficiency green hydrogen to decarbonise some of the most emissionsheavy industries including steelmaking and future fuels.

At Ceres we foster a workplace driven by passion and purpose. We support our team to think ambitiously collaborate creatively and confront complex challenges directly. Innovation is at the core of who we are and we strive to push the boundaries of whats possible with technology.

Purpose of the role:

The primary purpose of this position is to contribute to the electrical and power electronic design for fuel cell and electrolysis systems as part of the Systems Engineering function group. You will be involved in electrical design electrical system modelling power analysis and technical support to the grid connection activities of fuel cells and electrolysis systems and other electrical areas in Ceres where electrical engineering plays a particularly important role.

Key Accountabilities:

Contribute to Ceres design team in developing and improving fuel cell and electrolyser stack design and stack array module design.

Electrical network design of gridconnected fuel cell/electrolysis systems (for AC and DC distribution). Design includes power analysis modelling investigate best technical solution or develop new solution/concept.

Producing drawings and supporting material of the electrical architecture and physical concept including high level wiring schematics.

Accountable for producing high quality design material and documents for design reference to communicate to both internal and external stakeholders.

Manage review and approve the design and delivery of works being undertaken by electrical contractors/installers.

Provide technical advice to project leadership to ensure all aspects of the electrical design are appropriately considered and risk assessed.

Identify and mitigate project risks advise project leadership on an ongoing basis about existing risks and anticipated related liabilities. Project risk analysis relevant electrical design.

Accountable for reviewing and approving electrical design compliance with all relevant national and international standards such as IEEE ANSI IEC and NFPA.

Responsible for generating and reviewing electrical design requirements for interfacing fuel cell modules or electrolyser modules to external connections.

Support the build of the electrical aspects of the Project. Site installation troubleshooting and commissioning the electrical system.
