Deployment Engineer

ON.energy is building the power infrastructure that makes the AI era possible. As AI demand surges past what the grid and traditional data centers can support, ON.energy provides a new class of power technology proven at gigawatt scale and trusted by the world's leading cloud and AI companies. Our systems are already deployed across 2.5 GW of hyper-scale campuses, validated by top U.S. national labs, and certified for grid-safe operation by major utilities. With real products in the field, we're scaling faster than the grid can, transforming power from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage for the companies building the future.

Location: Alpharetta area, Hybrid on-site 3-4 days per week.

Role Overview

The Deployment Engineer is responsible for preparing, configuring, and validating BESS control, network, and EMS systems prior to shipment to project sites. This role ensures systems arrive site-ready, reducing commissioning risk, minimizing field rework, and accelerating site bring-up.

This position is factory-focused and hands-on, working closely with engineering, controls, EMS, and commissioning teams to deliver fully validated systems before field deployment.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform factory pre-deployment of BESS systems, including controls, EMS, networking, and system configuration
• Configure and validate system components prior to shipment (PLCs, EMS, network devices, gateways, firmware, and software)
• Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) activities and ensure systems meet commissioning readiness requirements
• Validate system configurations, versions, and integration points prior to site deployment
• Identify and resolve issues early to prevent downstream field and commissioning delays
• Collaborate with Controls Engineers, EMS Deployment Engineers, Network Engineers, and Engineering teams
• Develop and execute pre-deployment checklists, validation steps, and sign-off procedures
• Document system configurations, versions, and factory-validated states
• Support continuous improvement of factory pre-deployment standards and processes
• Provide limited field support during commissioning as needed to ensure continuity between factory and site execution

Required Qualifications

• Experience supporting deployment, integration, or commissioning of OT or industrial systems
• Hands-on experience configuring and validating control systems, EMS/SCADA, or industrial networks
• Strong understanding of system integration across controls, networking, and software domains
• Ability to follow and improve structured deployment and validation processes
• Comfortable working in fast-paced production or factory environments
• Strong troubleshooting and attention to detail
• Willingness to travel occasionally to support commissioning or site bring-up as needed

Preferred Experience

• Experience with utility-scale BESS, renewables, or power generation systems in Linux CLI environment
• Familiarity with Siemens PLCs, Ignition EMS, and industrial networking concepts
• Experience supporting FATs or factory integration activities
• Experience working alongside commissioning and field deployment teams
• Background bridging engineering design and field execution

What Success Looks Like (First 6-12 Months)

• Systems arrive on site in a validated, deployment-ready state
• Commissioning timelines improve due to reduced rework and configuration issues
• Factory-identified issues prevent downstream site delays
• Pre-deployment processes become standardized and repeatable
• Field and commissioning teams trust factory outputs and documentation
