Position Title: Technical Solutions Engineer
Department: Technical Solutions
Compensation: $85,000 - $135,000 + annual bonus (range varies depending on location; paid in local currency)
Reports To: Technical Solutions Manager
Location: Remote – Canada or USA
About the Role:
The Technical Solutions Engineer will play a key role in supporting the development, evaluation, and integration of utility-scale energy storage systems (ESS) with a focus on battery technology and performance in integrated systems. This role supports both internal product development and external solution customization, ensuring seamless operation and coordination between the Battery Product, Inverters, EMS and grid interface.
This position requires deep fluency in battery cell and pack-level degradation mechanisms, the ability to translate degradation curve behavior into commercial and contractual strategy (warranties, guarantees, storage/charging requirements), and the judgment to drive design and process improvements back into the product roadmap. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable building degradation models in Excel/Python, defending assumptions in front of an Independent Engineer, and sitting across the table from R&D to push for a design change.
This role supports both internal product development and external solution customization. For internally developed solutions, the engineer will work closely with R&D, global engineering to provide direct input on design features, validation strategies, and system sizing requirements. For externally procured products, the focus will be on leading technical due diligence, ensuring standards compliance, and transferring product knowledge to internal engineering, applications, and execution teams.
Responsibilities:
Technical Due Diligence and Product Development
- Lead the technical review of new battery cells and sub-components being evaluated for integration into our solutions, including specs, drawings, sizing, certifications, and test results.
- Work closely with procurement, product management, and R&D teams to support alignment between product design, supplier capabilities, and commercial rollout.
- For internally developed products: collaborate with R&D and technical teams to support design development, interface definition, validation testing, and product roadmap alignment.
- For externally sourced products: lead evaluation of technical specifications, certifications, and performance claims; ensure alignment with internal architecture and support cross-functional knowledge transfer.
- Maintain traceability of vendor/product documentation, internal evaluations, and solutions status through internal tools and documentation systems.
- Oversee the development and enhancement of internal engineering tools to support system modeling, product validation, and solution optimization efforts.
- Support Independent Engineer (IE) reviews and customer-led technical due diligence by preparing documentation packages, addressing compliance concerns, and representing internal design rationale.
- Monitor and interpret evolving product standards, test requirements, and performance expectations relevant to battery and energy solutions — including UL, IEEE, IEC, and other applicable regional or application-specific standards — and ensure alignment across internal designs and documentation.
Battery Performance & Degradation Strategy
- Own and evolve degradation modeling methodology and strategy in externally facing degradation curves for product and system warranties.
- Maintain and improve internal degradation and throughput tools (capacity models, throughput analysis, duty cycle tools etc.) ensuring accuracy across models, chemistries, and climate conditions.
- Serve as the primary technical liaison between project and performance engineering and R&D, feeding field/factory degradation insights and failure trends back into cell selection, thermal management, and DC Block design decisions.
- Monitor and interpret emerging battery chemistries and design (e.g., winding/stacking, blade cells, sodium-ion) for their degradation, safety, and warranty implications, and assess their fit against existing performance guarantee structures.
Cross-functional Support and Customization
- Coordinate cross-functional communication to introduce new products to internal stakeholders, including engineering, project execution, and commercial teams.
- Lead internal discussions with engineering, product, and software/controls teams to troubleshoot control strategies and support platform optimization.
- Provide technical input and coordination for project-specific requirements, custom feature requests, or client-specific configurations.
- Contribute to the development of internal documentation, reference templates, and knowledge-sharing tools that support consistent product execution across regions.
- Collaborate closely with global R&D and applications engineering teams, to align on feature roadmaps and deployment readiness.
- Perform other related duties as assigned by management.
Required Qualifications and Skills:
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, materials science, electrochemistry, or a related discipline; preference given to candidates with a postgraduate degree in engineering.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in engineering, R&D, or product management within battery storage, battery cell development, or related industries.
- Direct experience in battery product development, cell testing, or energy storage applications is strongly preferred.
- Strong knowledge of LFP battery cells, DC Blocks, and Energy Storage Systems.
- Familiarity with key standards and certifications related to batteries and ESS products, including UL 9540, UL9540A, UL 1973, UN 38.3, IEC 62933, IEC 62619, and other applicable codes or testing standards.
- Experience collaborating with international partners, particularly engineering or manufacturing teams across global time zones.
- Demonstrated ability to lead or contribute to the development of internal engineering tools, system models, or automation processes.
- Strong technical, analytical, and troubleshooting skills, with a hands-on approach to product validation and integration.
- Proficiency in Mandarin is a plus but not required.
Key Competencies
- Ability to collaborate effectively across diverse, cross-functional teams and international time zones.
- Strong technical communication skills, with the ability to navigate discussions across internal teams and represent engineering topics in customer or Independent Engineer (IE) reviews — particularly in coordination with R&D counterparts across Asia, North America, and Europe.
- Experience with product onboarding, technical documentation review, and vendor qualification processes is highly desirable.
- Excellent organizational skills, and clear written and verbal communication across global teams.
- Flexibility to travel, including international travel as required (up to 15%) for vendor assessments, integration testing, and industry events.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Technical Solutions Engineer
Align your degree to the role
Technical Solutions Engineer job descriptions often list computer science, engineering, or information systems as required fields. Pull the O*NET profile for this occupation and match your transcript's declared major to the specialty occupation definition USCIS uses when reviewing petitions.
Target companies with LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to find employers who have already filed Labor Condition Applications for Technical Solutions Engineer or closely related titles. Prior LCA activity signals an established sponsorship process, not a first-time experiment where your petition becomes the trial run.
Verify prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Run your target city and job title through the OFLC Wage Search before salary discussions begin. LCA approval requires the offered wage to meet the prevailing wage level, and negotiating below Level II for a role requiring client-facing technical depth can trigger a DOL audit.
Distinguish hybrid roles clearly in your documents
Technical Solutions Engineers blend pre-sales engineering with post-sales implementation. If your resume blends both, employers filing an H-1B petition may struggle to frame a coherent specialty occupation argument. Separate the technical duties from the account-management duties explicitly in your job description documentation.
Confirm STEM OPT eligibility with your DSO early
If your degree is in computer science, information technology, or a related STEM-designated field, you may qualify for a 24-month STEM OPT extension. Your employer must be enrolled in E-Verify, and your DSO must authorize the extension before your initial OPT EAD expires.
File the LCA before your offer letter deadline
Employers can't submit your H-1B petition until DOL certifies the LCA, which USCIS then receives as a required exhibit. Build at least three weeks of LCA processing time into your start-date negotiation so a tight offer deadline doesn't force a withdrawn petition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technical Solutions Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS evaluates whether the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as computer science, engineering, or information systems. Because Technical Solutions Engineers routinely apply deep technical knowledge in networking, cloud infrastructure, or software integration, the role generally satisfies the specialty occupation standard. Employers strengthen the petition by writing a job description that emphasizes the technical duties over the client-relationship component.
Which visa types are available to foreign nationals applying for Technical Solutions Engineer jobs?
H-1B is the most common path for employer-sponsored candidates, covering the specialty occupation requirement that this role typically meets. F-1 graduates may work under OPT or STEM OPT while an H-1B petition is pending. Australian nationals can pursue the E-3 visa, which requires an LCA but has no lottery. Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering or computer science roles may be eligible for TN visa status.
How do I find Technical Solutions Engineer jobs where employers are willing to sponsor visas?
Migrate Mate lists Technical Solutions Engineer roles from employers with verified sponsorship history, so you can focus your applications on companies that have already committed to filing for international candidates rather than those exploring it for the first time.
Does the client-facing nature of this role create any extra H-1B hurdles?
It can. If the role involves working at multiple client sites, the employer may need to file amended petitions or additional LCAs for each work location, depending on how USCIS interprets the placement arrangement. Employers who already have established multi-site LCA processes handle this routinely. During your offer negotiation, ask the recruiter whether the company has sponsored candidates in field-based or client-site roles before.
What degree fields best support a Technical Solutions Engineer sponsorship petition?
Computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, and information systems degrees map most directly to this occupation's technical requirements. Applied mathematics and software engineering degrees are also accepted when the job description demonstrates a clear connection. A business or general management degree alone is unlikely to satisfy the specialty occupation standard unless paired with a technical minor or directly relevant coursework that the employer documents in the LCA.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Technical Solutions Engineer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
