• Participate in the design and development of hardware/software for control units, BMS, and test systems
• Oversee the design, integration, and testing of functional prototypes and validation samples
• Prepare and maintain product documentation (e.g. system specifications, BOMs, operation flow‑charts, test protocols, RCA reports, manuals)
• Coordinate with cross-functional engineering teams (mechanical, electrical, software, testing)
• Interface with internal and external stakeholders, including certification bodies and manufacturing partners

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or related field
• Proven experience in complex product development, ideally in energy storage or battery systems
• Strong understanding of system architecture and product lifecycle in a technical environment

• Ability to think analytically and work systematically across domains
• Hands‑on mentality with a structured and goal‑oriented working style
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken
• A team player with a high sense of ownership and responsibility
