Job description

Imagine a world without polluting power plants, powered purely by clean electricity…

This world is closer than you think. The sun and the wind are powerful enough, and so are the technologies to harvest their energy. However, possibilities to store renewable energy in a sustainable and cost-effective way are lacking; Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) is ‘’the missing link’’ in the energy transition.

It is Elestor’s mission to cut the costs of electricity storage. We develop large-scale, competitive H2-FE storage technologies that are carbon neutral and durable, and hereby unifying the interests of the planet, people, and business profitability.

Backed by a €30 million investment, Elestor is accelerating the pre-commercial phase, as part of the growth strategy to commercialisation and operationalization of its proven hydrogen-iron-flow battery technology. The segment is expected to represent a market potential of approximately €20 billion by 2030. The international market pull is already concrete and fast growing.

Do you want to power the energy transition? Are you a team player; ready to take on varied and complex challenges?

We are proud to be a fast-growing and innovative company in The Netherlands, developing breakthrough hydrogen-iron flow battery technology. Elestor offers exciting and competitive career opportunities with plenty of scope for both personal and professional development.

About the Role

As Electrical Engineer, you actively contribute to various projects varying from test set-ups in our lab to full scale client applications in which you will encounter challenges in a hands-on working and learning position. Your ultimate responsibility is developing, maintaining and troubleshooting all electrical systems we need by generating schematics, perform calculations, select equipment and make sure that all is (grid) code compliant.

This is an opportunity for curious individuals with the desire to be in the middle of innovation and have an innate drive to contribute to the energy transition. The growth of the Elestor organization enables several development trajectories in which you can learn and accumulate ownership.

Tasks and responsibilities

• Design and develop electrical systems and components for various projects.
• Prepare technical documentation, including schematics, reports, and specifications as needed..
• Perform simulations and testing of electrical components to validate design concepts.
• Collaborate with software and mechanical engineers to integrate electrical systems into complete projects.
• Identify and troubleshoot electrical issues during the design, testing, and implementation phases.
• Together with team members, perform hands‑on work in installations at our facility, installing, testing, troubleshooting and putting into service of electrical components such as motors, inverters, instrumentation and battery testers.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, regulations, and safety protocols throughout project development.
• Challenge the status quo and contribute to 21st-century engineering ways of working.

Requirements

Elestor is looking for a senior all-round Electrical Engineer willing to learn, design and troubleshoot (a combination of thinking and doing). You are proactive and pragmatic in your behavior (and communication) and not afraid to challenge the status quo. Taking ownership of various assignments at once (while running multiple projects simultaneously) fits your ability to plan and execute accordingly. In addition, striving for ownership and slowly taking over responsibilities provides you with a lot of motivation (and energy)!

Education, skills and experience

• BSc or MSc degree in Electrical Engineering or relevant discipline
• Five year+ of industrial work experience within an R&D and Engineering environment
• Demonstrable knowledge of electrical engineering and automation (power conversion, grid codes, inverters)
