FREYR Battery is on a mission to decarbonize energy and transportation systems globally by producing the world’s most sustainable battery cells.

The first step towards achieving our goals is building battery cell factories in Mo i Rana. We will soon be opening the doors to our Customer Qualification Plant – Norway's first industrial-scale lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing facility. Here we will validate and improve technology, materials, and cell designs as we prepare for commercial production at our Gigafactories. FREYR intends to install 50 GWh of battery cell capacity by 2025, 100 GWh annual capacity by 2028, and 200 GWh of annual capacity by 2030.

We will build battery cell factories of increasing size in Mo I Rana and further globally as a significant contribution to the transition to a green economy. Without batteries, there can be no real change in the global energy system, the key to limiting global warming. These factories are a significant contribution to a more sustainable future.

We are looking for a highly qualified Battery Management System Electronics Engineer to ensure that FREYR becomes a world leading battery producer through establishing a strong product portfolio in the automotive and industrial ESS (Energy Storage System) sectors, including the monitoring and control strategy.

The Product Management group functions as the link between Technology Development and Sales departments. The creation of this link is the key to making our technology useful for the end-user.

You will be expected to take responsibility and work on a control system platform, delivering to all steps of New Product Development Introduction.

The ideal candidates have an in-depth understanding of embedded electronics in distributed architecture and Li-Ion battery technology.

Your main tasks will include:

• Define Requirements for Battery Management System Electronics
• Coordination of Design Review & Release with Supplier
• Work closely with external development partners to fast-track Control System Readiness
• Working closely with Cell/Module/Sales teams to ensure customer requirements are met
• Collaborate with Electrical System Design to ensure maximum performance of the system
• Investigate Market Developments for Performance Improvements or Cost Saving Measures
• Develop Platform solutions for stationary, E-Mobility and EV (Electric Vehicle) applications

We are looking for the following qualifications:

• M.Sc. in Electronics
• +3 years of experience with relevant applications
• Mastering embedded control system development
• Fluent in English, both written and oral

The following qualifications are advantageous, but not a requirement:

• Experience from requirement engineering
• Knowledge of model-based systems engineering

Desirable personal qualities to best succeed in the role:

• Structured and organized
• Proven problem-solving abilities
• Takes personal responsibility
• Co-operative and ambitious 
• Commercial mindset
• Thrives in start-up environment
• Ability to work under time-pressure

We offer the right candidate an important role in developing Norway's first battery cell production facilities. Energy storage is an important key to the world's switch to a sustainable, green economy. FREYR is a frontrunner in Europe's rush to build capacity in battery production. A shift from fossil fuel to electricity-from-renewables could deliver 75 - 90% of the CO₂ emission reductions required. FREYR has to move fast. The world needs both battery cells now, and ever better battery cells in the future.

With us you will learn a lot and a lot will be expected of you. We aim to pick high performers that will slot in immediately.
