Continuous Improvement jobs in United Kingdom

Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy - fast. We're combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We raised $170M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the Co‑Founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber and more.

We’re creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing solar, wind and hydrogen projects to real‑time power trading and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass on savings to customers.

We're building the next generation of distributed energy infrastructure, spanning grid‑connected assets, on‑site generation, storage and intelligent control systems. Our work sits at the intersection of hardware, software and regulation, enabling faster deployment of reliable, compliant energy systems across the UK and Europe.

As a Hardware Compliance & Test Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring Fuse’s hardware products and energy systems meet applicable regulatory, safety and performance requirements throughout their lifecycle. You will work hands‑on with prototypes and deployed systems, collaborating closely with hardware, firmware, software and operations teams to translate regulatory requirements into practical, testable engineering outcomes. In this role, you will be directly involved in market access, certification and post‑deployment surveillance, navigating a broad regulatory landscape including electrical safety, EMC, grid connection standards and environmental compliance.

• Plan, set up and execute hands‑on validation, verification and compliance tests on Fuse Energy hardware systems, both in laboratory environments and on live sites.
• Prepare systems for external certification and type testing, coordinating with notified bodies, test houses and third‑party laboratories.
• Support in‑field testing, commissioning and acceptance activities at customer, partner or pilot sites to validate safety, performance and grid interoperability.
• Execute targeted test campaigns covering areas such as electrical safety (LVD), EMC, grid code compliance (e.g. G99/G100 and EU equivalents), functional safety and environmental requirements.
• Identify, analyse and troubleshoot hardware, firmware and system‑level issues uncovered during testing, working closely with design and software engineers to drive corrective actions.
• Translate regulatory and standards requirements into clear internal test plans, acceptance criteria and validation strategies.
• Develop and maintain thorough test documentation, including test procedures, reports, evidence packs and compliance dossiers for internal use and external audits.
• Communicate test results, risks and compliance status clearly to engineering, operations and leadership teams, supporting informed technical and commercial decisions.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of Fuse’s compliance, Marathi testing and quality processes as products and deployments scale.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or a closely related technical discipline.
• At least 3 years of experience in a hardware test, compliance, regulatory or certification‑focused engineering role.
• Strong hands‑on experience working with electrical or power‑electronic systems in laboratory and/or field environments.
• Proficiency with standard electrical test and measurement equipment, such as oscilloscopes, power analysers, multimeters, insulation testers and data acquisition systems.
• Experience creating structured test plans, executing formal test procedures and producing clear, high‑quality technical documentation.
• Working knowledge of relevant standards and regulations, such as LVD, EMC, grid connection codes and related EU/UK directives (or a strong ability to learn them quickly).
• Excellent problem‑solving and debugging skills with a rigorous, detail‑oriented approach to engineering work.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple test activities in parallel and operate effectively across lab, site, and external partner environments.

• Competitive salary and an equity sign‑on bonus.
• Biannual bonus scheme.
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs.
• Paid annual leave.
• Breakfast and dinner allowance for office based employees.
