Lead Homologation Engineer (m/f/d) – EU Type Approval

You're putting the new generation on Europe's roads.

At HEERO Motors, we are developing a new electric chassis for the European market – Designed in Munich, compatible with the European body builder network, made for companies that have to deliver every day. Type approval is scheduled for 2027. We are setting the course for this now.

This is exactly where you come in: You will ensure that our vehicle is developed to be homologation-ready from day one – and then carry out the approval yourself. No support work, no interface maintenance. You are the person who ultimately cleared the way for registration.

What you are responsible for

• Homologation readiness from day one: identify regulatory requirements and anchor them bindingly in the requirements specification and product specification

• Develop and implement homologation strategy: refine our approval process according to (EU) 2018/858 and implement it consistently – including multi-stage approval together with body builders

• Carry out approval yourself: plan test programs, supervise tests, create documentation, manage appointments with technical services and the approval authority

• Manage development partners: request and check completeness of certificates, expert reports, and data from our vehicle partner and suppliers

• Keep an eye on regulations: General Safety Regulation, high-voltage safety, EMC, cybersecurity, and software updates – and what's next

• Foundation for series production: set up Conformity of Production, change management, and variants so that we can quickly introduce new body styles and derivatives

What you bring

• Several years of experience in vehicle homologation, ideally commercial vehicles (N1/N2) with an OEM, body builder, or technical service

• Confident knowledge of EU type approval law and UN regulations; experience with electric vehicles is a clear plus

• At least one type approval that you were significantly responsible for yourself

• Technical degree or comparable qualification

• Tenacity, structure, and the ability to get international partners to meet deadlines

• Very good German and English

What we offer

• The rare opportunity to be responsible for the initial approval of a new vehicle generation

• Real design freedom over processes that you will build from scratch

• An AI-native company where AI accelerates documentation and coordination instead of managing it

• Short paths to management and the board, quick decisions

• A team that is driving the backbone of the European economy electric into the future

Additionally: hybrid working with a mobile component, corporate benefits, good public transport connections, free parking, and regular team events.

Make the new generation ready for registration. Apply with your CV and tell us about the approval you are most proud of.
