Job description: Solutions Engineer — Solar & Battery Security Solutions About the Position The Solutions Engineer (SE) will serve as the technical expert and trusted advisor for Gridless Power's solar- and battery-powered security product line. Our autonomous security platforms combine off-grid hybrid power with IP cameras, video analytics, access control, and remote monitoring — deployed where grid power and reliable connectivity don't exist: construction sites, energy infrastructure, critical infrastructure perimeters, remote facilities, and temporary installations. The SE is the strategic bridge between customers, sales, engineering, and operations — translating site conditions, surveillance requirements, and power constraints into deployable solutions. From initial scoping through site survey, system design, commissioning, and next-generation product iteration, the SE owns the technical relationship and continuously feeds market intelligence back into the product roadmap. This is a high-visibility role for someone equally comfortable in a CISO's office, on a remote jobsite configuring a camera stack, and in a design review debating battery sizing for a winter deployment. Requirements 5+ years of experience in physical security, surveillance, IP video, or a closely related technical field; experience with off-grid, solar, or battery-powered deployments preferred Technical depth in IP video surveillance: camera selection, lens and FOV calculations, video transport, compression (H.264/H.265), VMS platforms, edge analytics, and cloud-managed video Solid understanding of IP networking — TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, NAT, VLANs, L2/L3 devices, firewalls, and low-power WAN technologies (LTE/5G, point-to-point wireless, satellite backhaul) Experience supporting pre-sales for security integrators, end-users, or channel partners Strong written and verbal communication skills with proven ability to present to both technical and executive audiences (CISOs, IT, physical security directors, EHS, operations leaders) Detail-oriented problem solver with strong organizational skills and a self-disciplined approach to deadlines Ability to balance technical aptitude with business acumen — ROI, TCO, and total-cost-vs.-guard-services modeling Creativity, curiosity, and a passion for autonomous, sustainable security technology B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Network Engineering, Energy Systems, or related technical field preferred Willingness to travel 20% for customer visits, site surveys, deployments, and industry events Must be independently authorized to work in the U.S. — Gridless Power is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this role at this time Responsibilities Serve as the subject matter expert on Gridless Power's solar- and battery-powered security platforms, including camera ecosystems, networking, power architectures, and competitive positioning Partner with the sales team to qualify opportunities, assess surveillance and power requirements, and design right-sized solutions that balance camera count, analytics load, autonomy targets, and site constraints Conduct site surveys (or virtual surveys using satellite imagery, solar resource data, and customer-supplied conditions); produce camera coverage diagrams, network architectures, power budgets, and autonomy calculations Work with the installation team to accurately price complex quotes, bids, and RFQs Lead technical demonstrations, live system walkthroughs, and presentations tailored to physical security directors, IT, CISOs, operations leaders, and C-suite stakeholders Support pilots, proof-of-concept deployments, and field commissioning — including camera configuration, VMS integration, connectivity bring-up, and acceptance testing Develop and distribute technical content — application notes, deployment playbooks, integrator training, case studies, and reference designs — for customers, channel partners, and internal teams Collect and synthesize customer feedback, competitive intelligence, and market trends across surveillance and off-grid power to inform product roadmap priorities Represent Gridless Power at security industry events (ISC West, GSX, ASIS chapter meetings) and energy/infrastructure conferences Work cross-functionally with engineering, product, manufacturing, and service teams to ensure customer commitments are delivered and field-learned lessons make it back to product Act as the technical liaison for security integrators, rental partners, and large strategic accounts — providing knowledge transfer and supporting complex pre-sales projects OTE:
