With a diverse and global team, we foster a dynamic and enjoyable work environment. We have fun while bringing a new generation of mobility to life.

What You'll Do

You will be responsible for the performance testing of our battery cells that we are building in our prototype lab facility. You will work closely with the test equipment, different cell formats and fixtures. You will make sure cells are put on testing in the correct setup in an efficient and timely manner. Together with cell design and fellow test engineers you will also actively participate in designing new test methods, protocols and commission-up new test equipment as we expand our facility.

Your work will mainly be conducted, hands-on with the process equipment, inside the prototype line environment, but will also involve writing and adjusting test protocols as needed.

- Develop working procedures and structures for the test lab team.
- Drive continuous improvement and development of methodology and technology.
- Provide technical expertise, guidance and training to junior staff and technicians.

Skills & Requirements

We are looking for you who have an eye for detail, enjoy working with both hard- and software, and have an interest for larger datasets and coding new test protocols, while at the same time enjoys the hands-on work and the challenge of building up and developing a battery testing lab. As a person you are organized, can manage your time well, don't shy back from perfecting hands-on work routines, have excellent troubleshooting skills and can work well both in a team and independently.

You are a passionate Test Engineer who takes ownership and is eager to collaborate with others to achieve excellent results.

- Excellent troubleshooting skills. Self-driven and passionate to own and solve issues with test equipment as they arise through a data-driven approach.
- Experience in installation, commissioning and acceptance testing of equipment is a plus.
- Experience in developing processes, standards, procedures and documentation in an efficient way.
- Strong technical leadership and coordinating skills in a highly flexible and frequently changing environment.
