      • Develop and optimize end-to-end BESS sizing from the point of interconnection through GSU/substation, PCS/inverters, DC system, and battery, accounting for system losses, degradation, augmentation/overbuild strategies, temperature, operating constraints, and contractual requirements.
      • Own and continuously improve BESS sizing methodologies, calculators, assumptions, and technical guidance to ensure consistent and accurate sizing across projects.
      • Organize and maintain a clear tracking record of sizing assumptions, inputs, decisions, and results from early-stage development through project execution.
      • Review project-specific sizing results, identify optimization opportunities and technical risks, and provide sizing recommendations to Engineering, Development, Supply Chain, and project teams.
      • Fully own and maintain the sizing tools to ensure the latest BESS and PCS equipment ratings are incorporated in the sizing database.
      • Support the lead SME to assess and evaluate new and existing battery technologies and their applicability to utility-scale systems.
