Gridfuse

Company Overview

Gridfuse GmbH

Leipzig, Germany

2022

Approximately 10-20 employees (source: gridfuse.com).

What They Do

Gridfuse GmbH is a software company specializing in the optimization of renewable energy. Their primary focus is on developing a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) software platform that aggregates and optimizes renewable energy sources such as wind and solar plants to ensure flexibility across markets and respond to market signals (source: gridfuse.com). The platform offers high-quality live data integration, enabling granular monitoring of energy production from plants and turbines. This promotes seamless integration of facilities and flexible bundling of multiple parks for unified control (source: gridfuse.com). Gridfuse targets operators of renewable facilities, energy traders, and grid operators in Germany and plans to expand into other countries, focusing on rapid integration that meets legal and commercial deadlines (source: gridfuse.com). By closely collaborating with SCADA providers and focusing on adaptable software, Gridfuse positions itself as a specialized provider in the competitive European renewable energy flexibility market (source: gridfuse.com).

Projects & Track Record

As Gridfuse was founded only in 2022, there are no specific completed projects documented in public records with names, locations, or capacities. However, the company focuses on supporting the operational management of renewable portfolios for ancillary services and market optimization (source: gridfuse.com). Ongoing activities include VPP implementations for the aggregation and control of wind and solar resources, with key contacts such as Kevin Thunert responsible for facility integration and Florian Sommer for product development (source: gridfuse.com). The company is positioned within the energy cluster in Leipzig but has not confirmed direct connections to other companies such as Leipziger Stadtwerke (source: leipzig.de).

Current Developments

No significant announcements, contracts won, acquisitions, or funding rounds have been found in the records over the past two years, which aligns with the early phase of the company and the lack of press releases (source: northdata.com). The company has not published any awards, certifications, or quantifiable milestones such as installed capacities (source: gridfuse.com).

Working There

Gridfuse offers positions primarily in software development, DevOps, product management, and technical operations. The team composition includes key roles such as Head of Development, Principal Product Manager, and several software and DevOps engineers (source: gridfuse.com). The company culture emphasizes flat hierarchies, trusting relationships, and the promotion of personal and team-oriented growth, leading to a dynamic startup atmosphere (source: gridfuse.com). Documented benefits include a mission-driven work environment, top-notch tools, and collaborative support, with the company being open to discussions about specific roles (source: gridfuse.com).

At Gridfuse, we believe the future of energy should be decentralized and renewable - and we're building the infrastructure to make that happen.

The grid still depends on fossil fuels - not because we lack renewable energy, but because we lack the systems to integrate it reliably. Our mission is to shift that balance through technology: by building intelligent, decentralized power pools that respond to volatility in real time.

It takes a unique team to meet this vision. You will join our Operations team in our Headquarters in Leipzig, which is responsible for integration of our assets and troubleshooting in case of connection issues.

The role

  • Connecting Assets & Support: Own the process of connecting new renewable energy assets (wind farms, solar parks, etc.) to the Gridfuse platform and resolving issues related to asset connectivity
  • Stakeholder Management: Communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders (from Sales to Technical personnel) to explain and pitch our ancillary services products, such as the mFRR and aFRR
  • Process Ownership: Coordinate and track specific mFRR projects, including setting up operative processes (e.g., for aFRR, encompassing monitoring and alerting) - This involves collaboration with Developers and detailed documentation for TechOps
  • Installation & Documentation: Coordinate the installation of required hardware boxes and create comprehensive manuals detailing the installation process
  • Network Configuration: Collaborate with our Network Engineers to configure and maintain our robust, compliant, and secure network infrastructure, including VPN setup
  • Technical Documentation: Develop specific delivery concepts and technical documentation required for Transmission System Operators (TSOs)

What we need from you

  • Familiarity with protocols: Good grasp of common SCADA protocols (IEC104, OPC, Modbus).
  • Data Analysis skills: Experience of data refinement and generation of reports in Excel are beneficial
  • Renewable Energy Experience: Ideally, you have experience performing control and performance tests on wind turbines from major manufacturers (e.g. Enercon, Vestas)
  • SCADA Expertise: Experience with various SCADA systems (e.g., PSIprins, PSIcontrol, Enercon SCADA, Siemens WinCC, ABB AVEVA, or similar) is essential
  • Language: Excellent communication skills in English and German are required - you will interact daily with internal and external stakeholders
  • Educational Background: A degree in Electrical Engineering, Informatics or a comparable technical background are beneficial
  • Ownership & Initiative: You like to take ownership and are happy to work in a fast-paced environment

What we offer

  • Competitive hardware including a standing desk, 4K curved screen, and MacBook Pro
  • City center office location including home office option
  • EGYM Wellpass membership support
  • Educational budget for every employee
  • Team events, summer & winter parties
  • Real startup culture by having an impact in a small, motivated team
