Manager, CoE-Analytics

About the Role

We are looking for a highly experienced Inverter Reliability Subject Matter Expert (SME) to lead the technical strategy, reliability improvement, and lifecycle management of inverter systems across a large portfolio of utility-scale solar assets.

This role will serve as the regional technical authority for inverter-related matters, driving reliability engineering, advanced troubleshooting, OEM management, digital monitoring, and the transition from OEM-supported maintenance to self-performed O&M operations.

If you have deep expertise in solar inverter technologies, root cause analysis, reliability improvement, and large-scale solar operations, we'd like to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Reliability

• Act as the regional SME for solar inverter technologies across the fleet.
• Lead complex troubleshooting and technical escalations to minimize downtime and maximize asset availability.
• Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of major inverter failures and implement corrective/preventive actions.
• Improve inverter reliability and MTBF through structured engineering interventions.
• Identify and implement retrofit solutions to address recurring technical issues.

O&M Strategy

• Drive the transition from OEM-supported maintenance to internal O&M capability post-warranty.
• Develop maintenance standards, competency frameworks, and troubleshooting processes.
• Standardize inverter maintenance practices across sites and regions.

OEM & Stakeholder Management

• Lead technical engagements with inverter OEMs.
• Manage warranty claims, technical reviews, and performance improvement initiatives.
• Partner with Operations, Engineering, Asset Management, and Procurement teams.

Digital & Data Analytics

• Enable integration of inverter data with SCADA and monitoring platforms.
• Develop dashboards, performance analytics, and predictive maintenance tools.
• Drive data-driven reliability improvements across the fleet.

Spare Parts & Lifecycle Management

• Develop optimal spare parts strategies and alternate sourcing plans.
• Create equivalent component databases to improve component availability and reduce dependence on OEMs.
• Evaluate new technologies and suppliers to optimize lifecycle costs.

Training & Capability Building

• Upskill regional engineering and O&M teams.
• Develop technical documentation, SOPs, troubleshooting manuals, and audit frameworks.
• Build internal inverter expertise and reduce reliance on external support.

Required Experience

• 8+ years of experience in Utility Scale Solar, Power Electronics, Inverter
• Engineering, Technical Services, or Reliability Engineering
• Strong experience with leading inverter OEM technologies such as: Sungrow or Schneider
• Proven expertise in: Inverter troubleshooting, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Reliability Engineering, Technical Escalation Management, Solar O&M, SCADA & Monitoring Systems, Asset Performance Optimization
• Experience supporting large-scale solar portfolios (preferred)
• Strong stakeholder, OEM, and cross-functional leadership skills
