Introduction
Spectral is seeking Application Engineers (3) to join our Professional Services (PS) Engineering team. You will work closely with software developers, project managers and fellow engineers to roll-out our energy control products to various projects.
Typical use cases are managing large portfolios of renewable assets, the optimization of operation of various (renewable) energy assets behind the same grid connection or grid level solutions to alleviate congestion issues. Some of your team members will be working on control systems for building optimization, such as Building Management and HVAC systems, but your primary focus will be on energy systems.
About you
The ideal candidate has practical experience with the design and application of control systems, but also knows their way around remote (Linux) devices and networks. We’re looking for someone who is innovative and passionate about applying technology to find optimal solutions for complex projects.
Traits we’re looking for:
- High attention to detail
- Care about the proper functioning of our deployments
- Being a proactive problem solver
- Work well in a team.
- A hands-on attitude and being able to work on the entire chain of a project
Most of all, we’re looking for someone who is highly motivated to join us on our mission to accelerate the sustainable energy transition.
Our team is highly international and based in Amsterdam North. Diversity and inclusiveness form the core of our company culture and we embrace many backgrounds and ways of working. Fluency in written and spoken English is a must, and Dutch language skills are a definite bonus. The role is full time.
About the role
The solutions you will work on are on the cutting-edge of smart grid and energy management technologies.
Your tasks might include:
- Design specific control algorithms for project use cases
- Configure, commission and test the various Spectral software products during the roll-out for use cases
- Collaborate with software developers, project managers and fellow control engineers to arrive at the best overall solution for the client, including the definition of functional requirements, control algorithms, testing and operating procedures, hardware configuration and network infrastructure.
- Draft specifications for new features or improvements of the Spectral software products. Potentially design and implement use-case specific control modules.
- Monitoring of our software services, troubleshooting and providing technical support in a rotation schedule.

About us
Spectral is a smart energy systems and platforms integrator driven by purpose. Presently, the grid's capacity for renewable energy is limited (10-20%) because of the fluctuating supply from renewable sources, to maintain stability. A successful clean energy transition hinges on innovative approaches to energy management and new business models. Spectral develops technological solutions for energy storage, demand flexibility, and local renewable energy to maximize their potential and build better smart grids.
As Spectralites, we are dedicated to accelerating the world's transition to a sustainable energy future. Achieving such a large-scale system change will require a monumental effort from everyone, and it will undoubtedly present significant hurdles. Rapid electrification across sectors and renewable energy expansion are creating grid congestion and complex balancing challenges. Our team is addressing the fascinating but difficult issue of energy inefficiency in modern structures, even with improved standards, focusing on poor climate system management and insufficient data transparency. By developing and deploying advanced technology platforms, we're driving faster change in real estate and energy, resulting in well-connected, more sustainable, and high-value assets.
