We provide a robust, scalable, yet profitable cloud solution for optimizing your loads with respect to the energy markets. This involves:- Load forecasting and flexibility analysis- Aggregation and pooling of your assets into your own or our shared flex portfolio- Optimized sourcing on energy markets and schedule generation (optionally also on-site asset steering)- Analysis and deep insights (profit forecasts, real-time imbalance analysis, etc.)

Develop the e-mobility steered charging solution with optimized sourcing on energy spot markets:- ingest and persist live data from EV fleets over IoT channels- forecast consumption and flexibility- pooling and aggregation of energy and power flexibility over charge parks and fleets- organize optimized sourcing on energy markets- generate optimized disaggregation and dispatch charge profiles- generate schedules for charge sessions

From PoC to Production:- Team lead and product ownership for the "IndustryFlex" service of Vattenfall Flexibility Services (aka. Vattenfall Smart Connect)- Manage technical aspects and develop business perspectives within an agile framework- Facilitate customer onboarding and prepare "real-world" demos for sales

Tasks- Develop optimization algorithms for decentral flexible assets- Architecture and design of cloud-based, pooled flex optimization solution running on critical Vattenfall IT infrastructureSome of our business cases: * FCR for decentral storages (incl. closed-user-group setup, "Präqualifikation", etc.) * Imbalance optimization for offshore windparks * Intraday marketing for flexibility from industrial processes * E-Mobility steered charging based on day-ahead prices
