About the company:
Unlike conventional batteries, our systems use abundant, non-toxic materials: iron, air, and water. This makes them safe, cost-effective, and scalable without relying on scarce minerals or fragile supply chains. When charging, the battery converts rust into metallic iron. When discharging, it reverses the reaction, consuming oxygen and producing rust again. This simple, proven chemistry has the potential to deliver energy at a fraction of the cost of other storage technologies.
Founded at TU Delft in the Netherlands, Ore Energy is focused on real-world deployment. In 2025, we connected the world's first iron-air battery to the grid in Delft. This milestone demonstrated that multi-day storage can be integrated directly into modern energy systems.
As countries expand renewable generation, the challenge of balancing supply and demand is becoming urgent. We believe long-duration storage is a critical part of the solution and that it must be safe, sustainable, and affordable at scale.
Ore Energy’s mission is clear: to store renewable energy anywhere, for as long as needed, using materials that are available to everyone. By combining deep electrochemistry expertise with practical engineering, we are turning one of Earth’s most abundant resources into a cornerstone of the clean energy transition.

The role
We are expanding our industrialization capabilities and are looking for an Industrial Engineer to join our Factory Engineering team in Amsterdam. You will shape how our manufacturing operations are structured and perform as we design, build and ramp our first commercial production facility.
Working closely with Process Engineering, Manufacturing and Operations you will define operational concepts, workload and staffing models, production flows, line balance parameters and performance studies. This is a hands-on role in an early factory design and ramp-up environment, focused on making the production system practical, efficient and ready to operate as intended from day one.
This role reports to Axel Save, Head of Factory Engineering.
Key responsibilities
Define operational concepts for manufacturing areas, including 3P (Product, Parts, People) flows, staffing models and shift structures.
Develop and optimize line balance, workload distribution and capacity models aligned with production targets.
Establish and maintain performance frameworks such as OEE to support operational decision-making and improvements.
Support factory and line layout development with a focus on operability, ergonomics and maintainability.
Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies and operational risks, initiating data-driven improvements to stabilize throughput and performance.
Work closely with Process Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality and Supply Chain to ensure the production operates as an integrated whole.
Your profile
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Production Engineering or a related engineering field.
4+ years of experience in industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, or operations development roles in production environments.
Strong experience with line balancing, workload modelling, capacity planning, OEE and production performance analysis.
Familiarity with standardization, lean principles and continuous improvement methods.
Ability to translate data and analysis into practical operating models and shopfloor improvements.
Structured, collaborative and pragmatic problem solver, comfortable working hands-on in both design and on the shopfloor.
What to expect from our recruitment process?
1. 15min initial screening call with People & Talent Lead focussing on your motivation and interest in working for Ore Energy as well as fit for the role & wider team.
2. 45-60min technical interview with Hiring Manager for the role (or another member from the team)
