Grid Compliance & Certification Lead - BESS & PCS Rimac Energy Buzin, Zagreb, Croatia

Rimac Energy is a rapidly growing division of Rimac Group, developing next-generation battery energy storage and power conversion technology for grid-scale and commercial energy applications.

Building on Rimac’s expertise in battery systems, power electronics and software, we are developing highly integrated BESS and PCS products for deployment across global markets, with an initial focus on the United States followed by Europe.

We are looking for an experienced engineer to take a leading role in the compliance, validation and certification of these products.

The Grid Compliance & Certification Lead will own and drive the technical compliance and certification strategy for Rimac Energy’s battery energy storage and power conversion systems.

The role is particularly suited to an engineer with experience in grid-connected power electronics, including PCS, solar inverters, BESS, UPS, drives or similar high-powered electrical systems.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have practical experience applying standards such as UL 1741
, EN 50549
, IEC 62477 and IEC 61508
, ideally through the development, validation or certification of grid-connected power conversion equipment.

A key focus of the role will be translating grid interconnection, electrical safety, functional safety, EMC and certification requirements into clear engineering requirements, validation plans and certification activities.

You will work closely with Engineering, Validation & Test, Systems, Software, Supply Chain, Industrialisation and external certification bodies to ensure our products are designed and validated for deployment across multiple international markets.
