About the role
Full text from the employer, as published on Arbeitnow, arranged into sections. Nothing added or removed.
Our software decides every 15 minutes what a battery should do. You own the layer that makes it happen: our EMS, the interface between our optimizer and every battery we connect. Whether we build our own EMS or integrate existing ones is a call you'll help us make.
Own our EMS integration layer: one clean interface that connects any storage system (inverter, BMS, site controller) to our optimizer
Onboard new vendors over Modbus, MQTT and vendor APIs, so the next battery is a config, not a project
Commission systems on site until the battery follows the plan to the kW
Build our own edge box on standard hardware (think Raspberry Pi on a DIN rail)
01Builder with agency
Get-shit-done mentality: you'd rather drive to the site than wait for a support ticket
High ownership: the EMS interface is yours, from the vendor call to go-live
02Mission-driven
Passionate about energy transition and climate impact
Thrive in early-stage chaos (e.g. "Can you be in Ingolstadt tomorrow at 8?")
03You Won't Have Fun If You
Like to follow processes. We don't have any.
Want to work remotely. We're in the office 5 days/week, and regularly on site at customers.
Want to stay on one side of the wall. This is half software, half hardware.
04Qualifications
Hands-on experience with energy management systems (EMS) for battery storage, PV or C&I sites. Ideally you've built or integrated one yourself, whether at work, in your thesis or during an internship. Similar experience counts too (e.g. battery management systems (BMS), SCADA, EV charging, building automation or industrial controls): a lot of that knowledge transfers directly
Solid Python and embedded Linux (networking, VPN, remote updates)
Industrial protocols: Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT, REST
Electrical basics: inverter, BMS, grid connection point. Bonus: PV/battery commissioning
Fluent German, because installers and customers speak German
Fresh out of university? Very welcome. Experience from your thesis, internships or side projects counts just as much as a job title. Don't worry if you don't tick every box: we prefer fast learners over years of experience.
05Perks
Super small team, super early: you shape the culture
You own the EMS and the hardware: how we connect batteries and which box we ship is your call
Direct customer access: see your code move a megawatt-hour battery
