At Eleo, we aspire to be one of the world's leading off-highway battery pack specialists. Backed by Yanmar, our battery solutions are driving our customers towards net-zero emissions. We do more than build batteries, we're paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Our pioneering spirit drives us to innovate at every step, delivering the best results possible. We're a fast-growing, young company with a vibrant culture of innovation and collaboration where every voice counts and every idea is valued.

Thriving at bringing together diverse minds and talents, we achieve our shared goals dynamically. Making a difference is meaningful and exciting for us, as we aim to balance personal ambition with collective achievements. Our team is equipped with the tools to help create a cleaner and electrified future.

Are you ready to join our mission to enable widespread electrification of off-highway equipment and vehicles?

What you will do:

You will work together with the Modelling & Control team, which include other control, battery, and thermal engineers on identifying, designing and optimizing thermal systems within our battery pack. You will be involved during the design process to consult on thermal topics so that our battery packs can perform to their best.
The thermal team on one hand works on provide input on the design choices that are made by the mechanical and electrical team so that all thermal requirements are met. On the other hand you work with the control and software engineers to implement the right control strategies so that the pack keeps the right temperature during operation.

The upcoming period we are finalizing our new product series on which we need to perform many verification test so that we can qualify the product. Together with our other thermal engineers you will help perform those tests and check the thermal performance. After the qualification our product will be shipped to customers, also there is interaction with the thermal team since you will be working with the sales engineer team to make sure that the product will be properly used and implemented by our customers from thermal perspective.

Your key responsibilities:

Support the design, analysis, and optimization of thermal management systems for industrial battery packs used in excavators and other heavy-duty equipment.

Conduct thermal simulations using tools such as ANSYS, MATLAB, or OpenModellica to predict and evaluate heat dissipation, temperature distribution, and thermal efficiency in battery modules.

Assist in developing cooling strategies (e.g., liquid cooling, air cooling) to ensure battery performance under extreme operational conditions.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers and materials scientists, to integrate thermal solutions with overall battery pack designs.

Participate in thermal testing and validation of battery packs to ensure they meet safety, performance, and longevity standards.

Contribute to troubleshooting and failure analysis related to thermal issues in prototypes and field-tested battery systems.

Stay updated on industry trends and emerging technologies in thermal management for energy storage systems.

Requirements & qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or a related field.
• Basic understanding of thermal engineering principles, heat transfer, and thermodynamics, especially in the context of battery technologies.
• At least 1-2 years of experience in a relevant position.
• Experience with thermal simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, CFD, or equivalent) is an advantage.
• Hands-on mentality with respect on preparing and performing design and verifications test.
• Familiarity with cooling systems for energy storage or power electronics is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Eagerness to learn, adapt, and contribute to a team-driven environment.

What we offer you:

• Attractive Salary Package: We value your expertise and offer salaries that reflect your skills and experience.
• Future-Ready Pension Plan: Plan your future with confidence through our generous pension scheme.
• Company-Wide Lunches: Socialize with colleagues over daily lunches. It's a fun and fulfilling environment, boosting working relationships and collaboration.
• Wellbeing Support: We provide personal coaching and wellbeing resources to support your lifestyle as you build your career with us.
• Hassle-Free Commuting: We ensure your journey to work is as simple as possible. Enjoy the convenience of a commuting allowance or an OV Business Card.
• Flexible Working Hours: Embrace the freedom to shape your workday with flexible hours and the option to work from home twice a week. We trust you to balance your time effectively.
• Generous Time Off: Recharge with 35 holiday days per year, including a company closure during Christmas and New Year's Eve, plus national holidays.
