Senior Electrical Engineer

Capybara Energy is building a grid-scale battery system from the ground up. We’ve focused on safety, reliability, and real-world deployment. We’re looking for an electrical engineer who wants to take ownership of critical power systems, from architecture through hands-on implementation and testing.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of full-time, post-graduation industry experience in electrical engineering roles. 
• Strong knowledge of power electronics (inverters, rectifiers, DC/DC converters).
• Proven track record of creating electrical diagrams, wiring schematics, PCB layouts, and cabinet designs to guide production.
• Extensive experience with battery management systems and energy storage principles.
• Hands-on experience delivering high-voltage / high-current systems that meet rigorous safety standards for real customers or deployed products.
• Familiarity with microcontrollers and/or embedded systems, including hardware–software integration.
• Experience using electrical CAD tools, lab equipment, and diagnostic tools.

Preferred Skills:

• Background in renewable energy, grid-scale storage, microgrids, or related fields.
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Modbus)
