Job Description
Role Overview

Join Ore Energy in Amsterdam to lead the design, process calculation, prototyping, and validation of air-processing and gas-management support systems for iron-air batteries. The role requires a highly resourceful Mechanical Engineer with practical experience in Direct Air Capture (DAC) or advanced gas-adsorption technologies.

What You Will Do

Design and develop active air-treatment, gas-separation, and humidity/temperature conditioning subsystems. Perform key process calculations, mass balances, flow dynamics, and system sizing. Build, plumb, and wire laboratory-scale proof-of-concept units and pilot-scale air-handling rigs from scratch.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate is a pragmatic and autonomous Mechanical Engineer with strong analytical skills, experience with MATLAB, Python, or automated control systems, and the ability to explain complex air-processing dynamics clearly to cross-functional teams.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (strongly preferred) or a highly related discipline
  • Practical, hands-on experience in Direct Air Capture (DAC), gas-adsorption systems, or closely related gas-purification technologies
  • Strong physical troubleshooting and assembly skills
  • Strong ability to interpret process data, model flow behaviors, and perform thermodynamic or mass-transfer calculations
  • Experience with MATLAB, Python, or automated control systems is an advantage
