Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in electrical/electronic engineering or related field.
• Proven experience in verification, validation or test of HV energy storage systems or power electronics.
• Experience producing test evidence for certification and familiarity with IEC/UL standards.
• Strong failure analysis and root‑cause problem solving.
• Experience with test automation and scripting (Python/LabVIEW).

Aufgaben

• Own verification and validation test plans from requirements to final reports.
• Maintain certification test methods and acceptance criteria.
• Carry out performance, reliability, safety and environmental testing on HV hardware.
• Lead failure analysis and close issues with retest.
• Produce auditable test evidence and reports for regulatory submissions.
• Define rig and instrumentation requirements; direct test technicians.
• Develop and improve test automation and data analysis using Python and LabVIEW.

Jobbeschreibung

Rimac Energy is a rapidly growing division of Rimac Group, developing next-generation battery energy storage and power conversion technology for grid-scale and commercial energy applications. Building on Rimac’s expertise in battery systems, power electronics and software, we are developing highly integrated BESS and PCS products for deployment across global markets, with an initial focus on the United States followed by Europe.

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Verification, Validation and Test (VVT) Engineer to take ownership of test engineering for our energy storage products. You will plan and run verification and validation campaigns, own failure analysis, and make sure every test produces the traceable evidence needed for certification.

This role carries forward established test methods and knowledge through a structured handover, so you will join early enough to learn the existing rigs, procedures and certification approach before taking full ownership. The ideal candidate combines hands‑on test experience with high‑voltage battery and power electronics systems, a disciplined approach to evidence, and a passion for sustainable energy.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the verification and validation test plans for products, from requirements and test specifications through to final reports.
• Take over and maintain the certification test methods, keeping procedures, test cases and acceptance criteria current and repeatable.
• Carry out performance, reliability, safety and environmental testing on battery, power electronics and system-level hardware.
• Lead failure analysis and root‑cause investigations, working with design, integration and software teams to close issues and confirm fixes through retest.
• Produce clear, auditable test evidence and reports that support certification submissions and technical files, working closely with the Compliance Engineer.
• Maintain traceability between requirements, test cases and results so that test outcomes can be shown against the relevant standards.
• Define rig, fixture and instrumentation requirements, and direct test technicians in rig preparation, safe operation and data collection.
• Develop and improve test automation and data analysis using tools such as Python and LabVIEW.
• Support testing at external certification laboratories and test facilities, and act as a technical point of contact during witness testing.
• Communicate test progress, risks and results to engineering leads and programme stakeholders.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• Proven experience in verification, validation or test of battery energy storage systems, power electronics or similar high-voltage products.
• Experience producing test evidence for product certification, and familiarity with relevant standards (for example IEC 62619, IEC 62477, UL 1973 / UL 9540 or grid codes).
• Strong failure analysis and root‑cause problem‑solving skills (for example 8D, fishbone or fault tree analysis).
• Strong understanding of test methodologies, instrumentation, data acquisition and monitoring tools.
• Experience with test automation and scripting, ideally Python and/or LabVIEW.
• Safe working practices for high-voltage systems; HV qualification or willingness to obtain one.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a disciplined approach to documentation.
• Desirable: experience of a test lab handover or building up a test function, and of directing technicians.

What We Offer

• Technically challenging, high-impact work on advanced energy storage and power conversion products — from concept through prototype, validation, and production
• A collaborative, cross‑functional engineering culture with strong links between mechanical, electrical, controls, software, compliance, CAE, test, supply chain, and manufacturing
• Fast‑paced environment where practical problem‑solving and initiative are genuinely valued
• Continuous learning and development, with exposure to rapidly evolving energy and power electronics technology
• A friendly, ambitious team that works hard and takes pride in what it builds
• Educational budget – at Rimac Energy, we believe in the importance of continuous learning. We provide an educational budget to support your growth, and we actively encourage you to expand your knowledge and skills.
• Pet-friendly workplace – we are always on the lookout for new Pawject Managers! You’ll be able to bring your pet to work.
• Secure your future with confidence – all eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the company pension scheme, helping you invest in long‑term financial wellbeing.
• Health protection for you and your family – AXA and Medicash private medical insurance is provided for employees and immediate family members, aligned with policy terms. Providers or conditions may be adjusted with one month’s notice, ensuring the best possible offer at all times.
