Senior Applied Scientist - Energy - Electra H/F Electra

Electra is constantly innovating to make electric vehicle charging easier, with a network of fast charging stations (20 minutes on average) and a maximally simplified user experience.

Based in Paris, Lyon, Bordeau, Nantes, Brussels, Madrid, Zurich, Vienna, Munich, Milan and Amsterdam, Electra's teams aim to deploy a network of 15,000 fast charging points by 2030, proud to contribute to the energy transition in Europe.

In 4 years, we have:

- Deployed 550 stations and over 2000 fast-charging points
- Secured thousands of stations to establish Electra as a leader in the European market
- Opened several offices in France and Europe
- Raised over €750 million in equity and debt financing from renowned investors and institutions
- Joined the French Tech Next 40 and won the European Scale-up of the Year 2024 award
- Assembled a team of over 240 talents... and this is just the beginning !

Your Missions

Part of the Energy Science & Public Affairs team, you will developcomputational tools to accelerate our ongoing efforts, especially batteries.

Batteries are fast becoming acornerstone of Electra's deployment strategy. In a nutshell, they allow us to 1) deploy stations in grid constrained areas, and 2) actively reshape our load to reduce electricity bills and generate revenue from electricity markets. Ongoing efforts in the team you will contribute to include:
- Creating asimulation framework to assess the performance of different control algorithms for managing battery operations and support sizing decisions.
- Developing, implementing and testing production-grade control algorithms on batteries we have already deployed.

Your Profile

A Senior Applied Scientist with strong quantitative skills, foundations in advanced computational methods(optimization, statistics, data science) and strong programming skills (Python preferred but not required).

You are a strong team player and ready to collaborate with various teams in different countries. You also know how to work independently. You are eager to join a fast-growing scale up and the expanding Energy Team.

An engineering / scientific background is needed as well as strong business acumen. Previous experience with applied energy systems modeling and/or pricing modeling is a plus.

You are fluent in English. Fluency in German or French is a strong plus.
