Software Engineer - Energy Systems

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our tech team at KanEL. You’ll work on the systems that connect, test, and operate our energy assets - from integrating new battery energy storage solutions (BESS) to ensuring they perform reliably for our partners and customers.

KanEL is an AI-first energy company, where modern tools are part of how we design, operate, and improve our systems. With a small and focused team, we build and operate technology that manages real energy infrastructure.

You will work at the intersection of software, hardware, and energy systems, helping us integrate and operate battery storage and other flexible energy assets in real-world environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, integrate, and operate core systems that connect energy assets such as inverters, battery management systems, energy meters, and EV chargers.
• Deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot energy system integrations in collaboration with our technology partners.
• Support the installation, commissioning, and testing of new energy systems.
• Identify and resolve technical issues to ensure high reliability and performance of installed systems.
• Work closely with sales, operations, and partners to ensure technical plans are realistic and well executed.
• Use modern engineering tools, including AI-assisted workflows where relevant, to improve diagnostics, documentation, and system performance.

Who We Are Looking For

• 3+ years of hands-on experience integrating and operating energy systems (inverters, loads, or BESS).
• Experience in field testing, system integration, or commissioning of hardware-based systems.
• Structured, pragmatic, and self-driven with strong problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable working close to both hardware and software.
• Curious about new tools and methods, including AI-assisted engineering.
• Good communication skills in Swedish and English.
• Enjoys teamwork and working with external partners.

Stand Out With

• Experience with large-scale BESS installations or related energy storage technologies.
• Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools to diagnose, test, or automate integrations between software and physical energy systems.
• Familiarity with troubleshooting local network issues, including Modbus-based communication.

Location

Situated near the Slussen subway station in central Stockholm, we value collaboration and face-to-face interactions at the HQ, while also understanding and accommodating the benefits of a hybrid work model.
