Do you want to be part of facilitating the green transition? Do you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your actions drive meaningful change? Do you enjoy solving hard problems together with ambitious people? If this sounds like you, this could be a perfect match. 

Join us to facilitate the green transition

Electrification and the transition to fossil-free energy create fantastic opportunities for us as individuals, as a company, and for society at large. However, it also creates challenges, especially for our energy systems. Ingrid Capacity is an energy tech company founded in 2022, and we are determined to solve some of the hardest challenges that stand in the way of the green transition by leveraging new technology and pioneering software development. We develop and optimize flexible energy assets such as large-scale battery energy storage to store electricity when there is a production surplus and retur it to the system when there is a shortage. This ensures the stability of the grid, increases the uptake of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and maximizes the utilization of the grid in a cost efficient manner.

Today, Ingrid Capacity is in a rapid growth phase with a historic expansion of energy storage in Sweden, while also expanding internationally. We currently have approximately 200 MW under construction, over 200 MW entering the construction phase, and a total development pipeline of over 4 GW across Europe. 

About the team

At Ingrid Capacity, our data team builds and maintains an in-house optimization engine to maximize battery efficiency within the grid. We also focus on creating a data-driven culture by building data pipelines and a Business Intelligence layer to provide stakeholders with actionable insights. Our team plays a key role in driving strategic decision-making and overall company success, and we work closely together to ensure a smooth transition of ideas from concept to reality. At Ingrid Capacity, we foster a collaborative and inclusive environment where everyone’s voice is valued. We believe in empowering our team members to make a real impact.

What you’ll do

As our Senior Optimization Engineer at Ingrid Capacity, you'll lead efforts in optimizing battery storage to support the grid and transition to renewable energy. You'll be key in improving our battery optimization algorithms, ensuring they operate at peak efficiency. This role requires strong mathematical skills and a mix of optimization techniques. The impact of your work on our revenue is substantial, with an annual output that continues to grow. You'll collaborate across teams to incorporate diverse data into our models and translate insights into actions.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Own the evolution of our battery system optimization algorithms. Craft and refine them to maximize efficiency and economic performance, leveraging multi-stage optimization strategies.
• Unleash your mathematical prowess. Apply deep mathematical knowledge and cutting-edge problem formulation techniques to tackle intricate energy storage challenges using stochastic optimization, linear programming, and reinforcement learning.
• Bridge the data gap. Collaborate closely with your team to seamlessly integrate forecasts and other crucial data into our optimization models.
• Become a master translator. Break down complex models and their outcomes into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders across the organization.
• Champion innovation. Cultivate a culture of continuous improvement by actively contributing to the advancement of our data science and optimization approaches.

Who we think you are

Ideally, you have experience from the energy sector, particularly battery storage or renewable energy systems, and experience in battery optimization or hydro optimization is, of course, very meritorious. You have a track record of innovation and a problem solving mindset, in complex, data-driven projects.

Here's what will set you up for success:

• Experienced Optimizer: You have proven experience as an optimization engineer or data scientist, with a strong foundation in optimization algorithms and/or machine learning.
• Math Mastermind: Deep understanding of mathematical concepts like stochastic processes, linear programming, and scenario analysis is essential.
• Technical Expertise: You're comfortable applying various optimization methods, including linear programming, non-linear strategies, and agent-based reinforcement learning. Proficiency in Python for optimization tasks is required. Experience with GAMS (or a similar language) is a bonus.

For this role, we think you have a educational background in mathematics, data science, energy systems, computer science or similar, and a PhD in any of these fields is highly meritorious. We would like to add, that if you’re a highly experienced candidate, we’re more interested in your passion, skills, and drive to make a difference.

What we offer

At Ingrid Capacity, we are not just employees; we are pioneers, visionaries, and catalysts for change. We are at the forefront of the global energy transition, dedicated to shaping the future of the power generation. Our company is more than a workplace; it is a plaform for innovation, where we dare to push boundaries and turn bold ideas into reality. 

We firmly believe that the foundation of any successful company lies in its culture.
