Asset Control Engineer
About this role
About Capalo AI
Capalo AI is a fast-growing energy technology company scaling software that actively operates large-scale battery energy storage across Europe. Our platform is already live in production, supporting real assets in real energy markets as renewable generation and grid flexibility needs accelerate.
As we grow, we're building robust systems that handle real-time data, market interactions, and high-reliability control flows. Engineers at Capalo work close to production systems, solving practical scaling and reliability challenges where software decisions have direct physical and commercial impact.
About the Role
We are looking for an Asset Control Engineer to join our Production team. You will own the software components that handle communication between our VPP and physical assets - the protocols, control logic, and tooling that make it possible to connect and operate battery systems and renewable production reliably.
Where our Asset Integration Engineers handle individual integration projects with PPC (Power Plant Controller) providers, your focus is on the platform side: building and maintaining the systems, documentation, and validation tooling that make every integration faster, more reliable, and more autonomous.
Responsibilities
- Communication Protocols & Control Logic Own and develop the VPP components responsible for asset communication over IEC 104, MQTT, and related protocols
- Design and maintain protocol-level interfaces that work reliably across different PPC vendors and hardware configurations
- Documentation & Integration Standards Maintain and improve the technical documentation used by PPC providers connecting to our VPP
- Define communication specifications, signal lists, and integration requirements that external vendors follow during onboarding
- Keep documentation aligned with evolving TSO requirements and protocol changes across markets
- Validation Tooling & Test Frameworks Develop tooling used by Asset Integratio
