Software Engineer – Edge Systems & Embedded Security
Ore Energy · Amsterdam
What you will do
At Ore Energy, we are 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.
We are expanding our engineering team and are looking for a Software Engineer – Edge Systems & Embedded Security to join us in Amsterdam. In this role, you will take technical ownership of the secure software and data architectures that bridge our physical, edge-connected battery systems with cloud platforms.
You will design scalable data pipelines, secure edge-to-cloud communication interfaces, and end-to-end cybersecurity frameworks. We are looking for a pragmatic, hands-on engineer who thrives at the intersection of connected hardware, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure; ensuring our energy storage systems remain secure, resilient, and observable at scale.
What you will do
Edge-to-Cloud Connectivity & Gateway Software: Design and develop communication software for industrial edge gateways, enabling secure and reliable connectivity between BESS containers, battery systems, EMS/SCADA systems, field devices, and cloud platforms. Develop scalable solutions for collecting, transmitting, and managing operational, diagnostic, and performance data using industry-standard communication protocols.
Industrial Communication & Security: Develop secure communication solutions using protocols such as IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC UA and MQTT. Implement secure authentication, encryption and certificate-based communication to protect connected systems.
Cybersecurity Architecture: Design and implement cybersecurity features across embedded software, industrial edge gateways and cloud-connected systems. Promote security-by-design principles throughout the software development lifecycle and ensure communication channels are resilient against cyber threats.
Remote Management & OTA Updates: Develop secure solutions for remote device monitoring, diagnostics, configuration, provisioning and over-the-air (OTA) software and firmware updates, including reliable update and recovery mechanisms.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with other engineering departments to develop, validate and deploy communication software for next-generation Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
