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 Lead Module Engineer to ensure that Freyr becomes a world-leading battery producer by establishing a strong product portfolio in the automotive and industrial ESS sectors.

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

You will be expected to take responsibility for the design and validation of ESS modules, delivering the all steps of New Product Development and Introduction.

The ideal candidates have a fundamental understanding of Li-Ion battery cell technology and experience with application of energy storage systems in relevant industry.

Your main tasks include:

• Lead a team of module engineers for the design, validation, and homologation of ESS battery packs, according to the New Product Development and Introduction process
• Own the module design and lead the technical risk assessment and mitigation activities, including requirements reviews, DFMEA, simulation, and testing.
• Screening the competitors and supplier community for benchmarking and innovative module technology
• Work closely with Engineering service providers, Component suppliers, and Line Integrators to optimize Design for Manufacturing.
• Work closely with Cell and Application Engineering and Sales teams to ensure customer requirements are met
• Work closely in a cross-functional team with members from Process, Quality, Supply Chain, and Operations Departments to support flawless production launch according to Business targets
• Perform reporting to management

We are looking for the following qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Engineering
• +5 years of experience with application or development or application of Energy Storage
• Direct or indirect experience with design for manufacturing on a mass production scale
• Experience with requirement engineering, documentation management and product certification
• Fluent in English, both written and oral

The following qualifications are advantageous, but not a requirement:

• Good understanding of the fundamentals of a lithium–ion battery
• Experience of working in an international company on new product introductions within quality focus systems

Desirable personal qualities to best succeed in the role:

• Structured and organized
• Proven problem-solving abilities
• Takes personal responsibility
• Co-operative
• Ambitious and passionate
• 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.
