The role

Company Overview

Ore Energy is 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. Our technology is designed to enable renewable power to become a dependable source of energy at scale, supporting the transition to a cleaner, more resilient and more electrified world.

Ore Energy has built significant momentum toward commercial deployment. The company has raised a significant amount of investment from leading European investors, demonstrated its technology under real-world utility conditions, and is now moving toward large-scale commercial deployments.

Role Overview

We are expanding our industrialization capabilities and are looking for a Senior Process Engineer to join our Factory Engineering team in Amsterdam. Operating as a technical leader at the intersection of process design, equipment procurement, and high-volume production scaling, you will play a pivotal role in translating complex product requirements into stable, efficient, and safe manufacturing solutions.

In this role, you will take full technical ownership of a core set of manufacturing process steps, bridging the gap between R&D and mass production. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders and international equipment suppliers to define process parameters, establish engineering methodologies, and lead vendor fulfillment through installation and commissioning. As a senior member of the team, you will lead by example, mentoring junior engineers and driving a culture of best practices. This is a hands-on, execution-heavy discipline leadership role in a fast-paced, early factory design environment that requires a structured problem solver comfortable navigating ambiguity.

This role reports to Axel Save, Head of Factory Engineering.

Key responsibilities

Process Ownership & Scale-Up: Own, develop and optimize an assigned set of manufacturing processes within the company’s first commercial production plant (e.g. mixing, calendering/pressing, assembly or other core processes). Experience in any such relevant area is a strong plus.
Methodology & Standards Creation: Drive development of process engineering methodologies, standardization frameworks and practical Ways of Working for factory execution, scaling and project delivery.
Discipline Leadership: Provide technical and practical support to junior team members, leading by example and help establish a cross-functional culture of best practices within the realm of process engineering.
Design & Delivery: Design, develop and deliver technical solutions for the assigned scope; enabling safe and efficient manufacturing. Lead cross-functional collaboration, both internal and external, from design to optimized manufacturing.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Technical Documentation: Translate complex product and design requirements into stable, repeatable and scalable production solutions; bridge the gap between R&D and mass production. This includes equipment specifications and comprehensive technical documentation.
Supplier & Equipment Management: Lead equipment selection within assigned scope and ensure vendor fulfilment of milestones such as FAT/SAT, installation and commissioning.

Your profile

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Process or Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering field.
Experience: 7-10 years of experience in mechanical, process, or manufacturing engineering roles within heavy industrial or advanced production environments (battery, energy storage or automotive experience is highly valued).
Project Delivery: Proven track record of leading process engineering projects and taking technical ownership of complex manufacturing lines from conceptual design through to commissioning and stable high-volume production.
Methodological Expertise: Strong foundation in creating and implementing engineering methodologies, and utilizing structured problem-solving tools.
Vendor Management: Deep practical experience in defining equipment specifications, managing international equipment suppliers and overseeing equipment acceptance testing.
Mindset: Structured, collaborative mentor and problem solver, highly comfortable leading through ambiguity and driving results in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment (startup or scale-up experience is a strong plus).

About us

The Challenge We Are Solving

Do you want to contribute to one of the most important challenges of our time: accelerating the energy transition? Are you excited by breakthrough energy storage technology with real-world impact? Would you like to be part of a mission-driven company where your work directly contributes to building the future of clean energy?

Then we are looking for you.

Ore Energy develops long-duration energy storage solutions to support a reliable, zero-carbon electricity system.

Powering the Next Generation of Infrastructure

The electricity grid is undergoing its most significant transformation in a century. As renewables become the cheapest source of new power, the challenge is no longer producing clean energy, it is making it reliably available when and where it is needed, regardless of when the sun shines or the wind blows. Our iron-air batteries are uniquely designed to store renewable energy over multi-day periods, allowing clean electricity to become a dependable, around-the-clock backbone of the grid while reducing reliance on fossil-fuel peaker plants and building a more resilient, fully decarbonized power system.

This is a rare opportunity to join a company at the moment when technology readiness, customer traction, and market demand are converging. Ore Energy has already raised significant capital, built and tested its technology under real-world conditions, and is now moving toward large-scale commercial deployment. As we transition into this industrial implementation phase, we are building the team, systems, and capabilities required to scale our solution and help define how long-duration storage powers both the future grid and the next generation of industry and data infrastructure.

Our Culture & Beliefs

We believe impactful technology is built by talented people who are motivated by complex challenges, scientific rigour and strong execution. That is why we are looking for dedicated professionals who want to help shape a cleaner and more resilient energy future.

At Ore Energy, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. We believe that diversity of thought, background, and experience drives innovation and success. Are you unsure if you meet all the requirements? Please do apply, we’d love to hear from you! Your unique perspective and skills could be exactly what we’re looking for.
