Intralogistics Engineer

At Ore Energy, we are on a mission to fundamentally expand the amount of energy society can reliably harness and use, helping move civilization toward a more abundant energy future. We are doing this by developing long-duration, utility-scale iron-air batteries that provide safe, low-cost, multi-day energy storage for electricity grids and data centers.

We are expanding our industrialization capabilities and are looking for an Intralogistics Engineer to join our Factory Engineering team in Amsterdam. In this role, you will shape how materials, components, and products move through our manufacturing operations as we design, build, and ramp our very first commercial production facility.

Working closely with Process Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain, you will define, optimize, and deliver material flow solutions across production, warehouse, and logistics interfaces. This is a hands-on role in an early factory design and ramp-up environment, focused on building practical, scalable, and highly efficient material flow systems from day one.

This role reports directly to Axel Save, Head of Factory Engineering.

• Flow Design & Optimization: Define, optimize, and deliver material flow solutions (both automated and manual) across manufacturing and warehouse operations, including storage, buffering, line feeding, and auxiliary internal logistics.

• Layout Integration: Support factory and line layout development, focusing heavily on flow efficiency, physical operability, and future scalability.

• Vendor & Implementation Management: Define technical requirements for material handling, packaging, and intralogistics systems; manage external vendors and integrators from specification through to installation and ramp-up.

• Bottleneck Analysis: Analyze production flows and material handling processes to proactively identify bottlenecks and implement practical improvement opportunities on the shop floor.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Process Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, and Supply Chain to ensure that the production system operates as an integrated, holistic whole.

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Logistics Engineering, Production Engineering, or a highly related engineering discipline.

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in material flow engineering, manufacturing engineering, intralogistics, or similar roles within a physical production or industrial environment.

• Technical Depth: Proven hands-on understanding of manufacturing flows, material handling systems, and the daily operational realities of a physical manufacturing shop floor.

• Vendor Coordination: Practical experience working alongside external equipment vendors, system integrators, or industrial logistics suppliers.

• Scale-Up Mindset: Structured, collaborative, and pragmatic problem solver who is comfortable working hands-on in both early-stage design and daily operations. A background in startup or scale-up manufacturing environments is a strong plus.

• Communication: Strong professional English communication skills to align and coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
