Certification Lead - BESS, Vermogenselektronica & Digitale Systemen

At STABL Energy, we're building the next generation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), combining battery technology, advanced power electronics, embedded controls, and cloud-connected software.

We are looking for a Certification Lead - BESS, Power Electronics & Digital Systems (m/f/d) who combines strong knowledge of technical standards and product certification with practical engineering understanding.

In this role, you will own certification and product compliance across our complete BESS system architecture - from batteries and inverter technology to control systems and cloud connectivity. You will translate regulatory and normative requirements into clear engineering requirements and guide our teams toward compliant, safe, and certifiable products.

Your mission

• Own and coordinate certification and product compliance activities across BESS, inverter/power electronics, control systems, and cloud-connected products.
• Identify applicable standards, regulations, grid codes, and market-specific certification requirements.
• Translate normative and regulatory requirements into clear technical requirements for Engineering.
• Advise Electrical, Mechanical, Power Electronics, Systems, Firmware/Software, and Cloud teams on compliance-related design decisions.
• Develop certification strategies, compliance plans, and verification requirements for new products and product variants.
• Coordinate testing and certification activities with external laboratories, certification bodies, and technical experts.
• Review system architectures, specifications, risk assessments, test plans, and technical documentation from a compliance perspective.
• Ensure product cybersecurity requirements are considered in embedded software, communication interfaces, remote connectivity, and cloud services.
• Identify certification and compliance risks early and drive mitigation measures together with Engineering.
• Assess design, software, and component changes regarding their impact on existing certifications and conformity.
• Monitor changes in relevant standards and legislation and assess their impact on our products.
