About Peak Energy

Peak Energy designs and deploys grid-scale sodium-ion energy storage systems for reliable, lower-cost energy infrastructure. Backed by Eclipse Ventures.

About the role

As a Sales Engineer, you’ll own the technical side of Peak’s opportunities from the first customer conversation through contract signature. You’ll work with prospective customers to define the commercial and technical fit for Peak’s battery systems, build the business case, lead preliminary design discussions, and negotiate the technical scope, schedule, and performance terms that carry into execution. This is a highly cross-functional role.

What they're looking for

  • Size and configure Peak’s battery systems to the customer’s use case, and build the performance and cost models that support the business case
  • Develop a deep understanding of Peak’s energy storage technology and provide sales teams with technical and financial modeling support and product configuration guidance to drive successful sales
  • Lead discussions with customers and Peak’s internal teams to outline the preliminary design for each opportunity
  • Work with the customer and Peak’s sales team to negotiate technical contracts (scope, schedule, and performance guarantees for both sales and services agreements)
  • Build an understanding of regional energy markets, utilities, and customer needs
  • Define and disseminate functional requirements to internal business and engineering colleagues to aid in market entry planning, product roadmap, and new feature development
