Niko holds a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Zagreb where he is also currently pursuing a PhD, his research is primarily focused on tooth root load capacity of gears with asymmetric tooth profile as well as genetic optimization of cylindrical gear macro geometry. Currently working as a Gearbox Design Engineer at Rimac Technology, he specializes in gear macro geometry and micro geometry optimization, load-carrying capacity calculation of cylindrical gears and bearings, and gearbox power loss/efficiency analysis.

From Battery and Vehicle Systems to Torque Vectoring, e-AXLES, Advanced Driver-Assistance System, Infotainment, Connectivity, and UX/UI, Rimac Technology is a full technology solutions provider to global OEMs. Rimac Technology works with almost every car manufacturer in Europe, using its engineering expertise to develop Nevera from the ground up to offer a range of services that take its customers through the entire process. Rimac Technology team can create the concept, engineer it, test it thoroughly with prototypes, begin pre-series production, and – finally – put a product into full serial production with all the quality, reliability, and performance requirements of a major manufacturer in place. Rimac Technology is publicly known to have worked with many global OEMs including Porsche, Hyundai, Kia, CUPRA, Automobili Pininfarina, Koenigsegg, Aston Martin, while many projects are still unknown to the public. Having delivered technology for many small-volume projects in the past years, Rimac Technology is ramping up its production capacity and will be manufacturing 40,000 batteries per year in 2024 – and this is just one of 12 OEM projects currently ongoing, ranging from small hybrid battery systems to full rolling chassis. Rimac is headquartered at a new 200,000 m2 Rimac Campus on the outskirts of Zagreb, Croatia.
