Production Test & System Qualification Engineer

Ready to power up your career? At Big Ass Battery, we’re revolutionizing energy storage, and we need curious, hands-on problem solvers to help us take our battery systems to the next level.

What will you do as Production Test & System Qualification Engineer (FAT)?
As Production Test & System Qualification Engineer (FAT), you’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team that ensures every battery system we build meets top-notch quality standards before it is handed over to our client team and reaches our customers. We’re scaling up, and your mission is to test, troubleshoot, and optimize our battery systems to perfection. Since our aim is to scale the number of battery containers we build the upcoming years standardization is going to be key—but here’s the catch: the testing procedures still need to be developed, improved, and perfected. That’s where you come in! Your role will focus primarily on software testing, but you’ll also have a hand in hardware validation. Your mission (should you choose to accept it):

• Develop and optimize production tests for parts and systems
• Maintain and improve test tooling
• Collaborate with engineering to design new and better test tools
• Be the troubleshooting hero, acting as a bridge between Development & Engineering (D&E) and production
• Be a sparring partner for D&E, helping improve current designs and future prototypes
• Share your expertise by training colleagues and other stakeholders 

What do we expect you will bring to Big Ass Battery?
We’re looking for tech enthusiasts with a hands-on attitude, people who love what they do and bring positive energy. You love to get sh*t done and you want to be part of one bad ass team. If you’re eager to learn, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy solving technical puzzles, you’ll fit right in!

• Technical education in the direction of mechatronics or similar on at least a vocational level (MBO) or bachelor level
• Experience in testing (FAT) of mechatronic systems
• Familiarity with electrical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.)
• A curious mindset and a drive to continuously improve
• Experience or interest in systems up to 1000V DC
• Strong communication skills in English and Dutch
• A strong sense of humor—because working hard should also be fun!

What do we have to offer you?
Next to a whole lot of energy we offer an independent and responsible job with room for personal input, new ideas, initiatives and entrepreneurship. All based on freedom and trust. Big Ass Battery is a fast-growing company that is conquering the market with a clear focus and a product with tremendous potential.

• A competitive salary aligned with your experience, role and responsibilities and on top of that we offer a 13th month in December
• A reimbursement of €25 net for the use of your personal mobile phone and of course a laptop with the correct requirements to do your thing

About Big Ass Battery 🔋
We are Big Ass Battery; a fast-growing scale-up in the premier league of the energy transition. We build energy storage systems at the highest level: from battery cell to complete 10ft battery containers. Big Ass Battery is a Dutch company and we are located in Helmond. We didn't fit in our previous office anymore so that is why we traded up in november 2023 to our new facility of 15.000 m2 and a total surface of 41.775 m2! When you join our team, you not only contribute to the production of batteries, but you also contribute to the growth of a company with big ass ambitions. Our batteries are an important part of the solution to the current challenges we face in the energy transition. For example, you can place a Big Ass Battery at an event location or for charging electric cars. Or on a construction site where a sustainable company wants to use electric excavators and other power tools. Companies can even link a revenue model to the use of the Big Ass Battery. Agricultural companies, for example, use the Big Ass Battery for solar energy storage. In short, plenty of possibilities.
