With our cutting-edge IoT hardware and software, we transform everyday thermal appliances like water heaters, accumulators, and heat pumps into intelligent, grid-responsive storage devices. We are already managing almost 9,000 installations across Belgium, France, and Italy, with plans to expand into South Africa and beyond. By controlling how and when these appliances use electricity, we help balance the grid and secure contracts with energy players like TSOs, driving our recurring revenue model.
Our technology is now built directly into Ariston's next-generation appliances, unlocking a global market. As this continuous stream of native devices accelerates our growth, we face an exciting challenge - and this is where you come in
As a key member of our 3-person optimization team, you focus on the mathematical core of our technology. You translate physical device behavior and market requirements into robust models that power our Virtual Power Plant.
You implement these within our Python-based algorithmic framework.
Sprint-Based Delivery: You work within a structured Sprint methodology, moving from simulation studies to production-ready logic. While you focus on the modeling, you are supported by a dedicated IT team that manages the CI/CD pipeline and cloud infrastructure.
You will be collaborating with all involved experts, including ThermoVault's Demand Response and Product Development teams and the Ariston team on commercial projects on a European scale. We are looking for an Energy Systems Algorithm Engineer who understands the rules of the energy game and has the technical coding skills to automate playing it.
You have a Master in Electrical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Mathematical Engineering, or equivalent.
You are proficient in Python as a tool for modeling and data analysis. While you aren't an IT integrator, you are comfortable working in a production software environment.
You are a true Collaborator: You speak the language of the Algo Engineers (math/control) and the Business Team (revenue/contracts).
You are fluent in English and able to explain complex modeling concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. French is a big plus.
Work with cutting-edge technology. Go International. Mix of 50% home office & 50% HQ in Leuven.
Great team & culture. Full-time permanent contract with strong salary & benefits.
Let's team up
Join ThermoVault and be part of a young, dynamic team revolutionizing energy.
