Job Summary
In this role, you lead a development team focused on battery systems, take technical responsibility for hardware and embedded software, develop prototypes, and coordinate production-related tests and system integrations.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You will take technical leadership of our approximately 5-member development team (Hardware Design/Measurement Technology/EMC, Hardware & Mechanics including CAD, Embedded Programming, Server/Cloud), including two well-coordinated remote colleagues.
- The coordination of 2 production employees is also part of your responsibilities.
- The disciplinary leadership lies with the managing director and the operations manager - their task is the technical and professional management.
- This is not a purely coordination role.
- You handle the essential and complex development work yourself – you execute from technical expertise, not from the desk.
- Overall responsibility for the development of the electronic hardware and the associated software of our storage products.
- Technical leadership of the team: breaking down milestones into weekly packages, discussing them weekly, and consistently tracking execution.
- Coordination and supervision of the development phase of new prototypes through to mass production.
- Ensuring the required product quality through development-accompanying tests as well as field tests on prototypes and pre-series components.
- Development of production-accompanying testing systems for series production.
- Management of certifications in various testing laboratories (e.g., IEC 62619).
- Coordination of app development for mobile devices.
- Further development of the cloud-based diagnosis system for data provision to end customers.
- Integration of storage products into customized applications and in-house energy solutions (e.g., home storage systems).
- Technical decisions, prioritization, quality assurance, as well as interface with production, certification, and sales.
- Building knowledge redundancy within the team and reducing dependency on individuals - knowledge is documented and shared, not hoarded.

- Willingness to be fully onsite in Bad Schönborn.
Experience
- Experience with lithium-ion battery systems, BMS, and power electronics (bidirectional DC/DC converters), ideally NMC cell chemistry.
