🏠 What Do We Do?

Born in 2021 from a vision of pollution-free and noise-free cities, Electra enables the shift towards electric mobility.

Our fast charging hubs support 15- to 30-minute charging with a seamless and refreshingly simple user experience.

In 4 years we:

1. Deployed more than 450 charging stations and 2700 fast charging points

2. Raised more than 750M€ to fuel our rapid expansion

3. Were awarded 2024 Best European Scale-up and French Tech Next 40

4. Gathered a team of 250 talents... and this is only the beginning - join us!

Electra innovates by building tomorrow’s energy hubs, where EV charging, batteries and solar PV are optimized for consumers and for the electricity grid.

Based in Paris, Zurich, Munich, Vienna, Brussels, Milan, Madrid, Lyon, & Bordeaux, Electra will deploy a network of 15,000 charging points by 2030.

💼 Your Missions

Part of the Energy Science & Public Affairs team, you will develop computational tools to accelerate our ongoing efforts, especially batteries and smart pricing.

Batteries

Batteries are fast becoming a cornerstone 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:

1. Creating a simulation framework to assess the performance of different control algorithms for managing battery operations and support sizing decisions.

2. Developing, implementing and testing production-grade control algorithms on batteries we have already deployed.
   

Smart Pricing

Setting the right pricing strategy is key to finding the right balance between competitiveness and profitability. You will:

1. Collaborate with cross-functional teams across disciplines such as marketing, product, engineering, and operations to drive the development of our smart pricing system end-to-end from ideation to execution.

2. Build our price simulation and optimization engine that generates fresh customer-relevant prices on all our stations from data such as the cost of energy, local constraints, demand, and competitive intelligence.

3. Design, run, analyze science-based experiments to estimate elasticities and draw detailed and actionable conclusions.
   

😎 Your Profile

An 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.

⚡️ What Electra Offers You

1. An attractive package (incl. Meal vouchers)

2. A great professional challenge with smart talents and a flexible, inclusive, and international work environment

3. A hybrid work schedule

4. Team events & offsites

At Electra, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable, safe, and free to be themselves, fully expressing their potential. We are committed to equal opportunities and do not tolerate discrimination based on religion, cultural background, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability. 💚
