Ore Energy B.V. Balance of Plant (BoP) Systems Lead Amsterdam Full-time Permanent employee Apply for this job The role At Ore Energy, we are on a mission to fundamentally expand the amount of energy society can reliably harness and use, helping move civilization toward a more abundant energy future. We are doing this by developing long-duration, utility-scale iron-air batteries that provide safe, low-cost, multi-day energy storage for electricity grids and data centers. We are expanding our product development team and are looking for a hands-on, highly skilled Balance of Plant (BoP) Systems Lead to join us in Amsterdam. In this role, you will take ownership of the architecture, design, and integration of the critical supporting subsystems required to operate our iron-air batteries safely, efficiently, and reliably. Operating at the intersection of mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics, thermal management, and process control, you will bridge our core electrochemical cells with the physical support systems that surround them. We are looking for a pragmatic, systems-thinking engineer who thrives in a lab/workshop environment, designing functional physical setups and scaling concepts into robust, product-level assemblies. This role reports directly to the Chief Product Officer (CPO) . Key responsibilities - BoP Architecture & Sizing: Define the technical architecture, specifications, and component sizing for all BoP subsystems, including air management, gas conditioning, fluid handling, thermal management, and pressure control. - Component Selection & Integration: Evaluate, specify, and integrate active hardware components, including pumps, blowers, valves, manifolds, sensors, heat exchangers, filters, and piping networks. - Interface & Trade-Off Analysis: Translate electrochemical operating requirements into clear subsystem specifications. Perform system-level trade-off studies balancing thermal performance, pre...
