Your mission

Join us in designing, building, and operating the electrical systems that power our First-of-a-Kind (tFOAK) DAC facility - and help define the electrical architecture for the next generation of commercial plants.

You'll own electrical design end-to-end: from schematics and panel layouts through to physical installation and commissioning. You'll be equally comfortable in front of EPLAN as you are with a cable in your hand. In a small team, you won't just design - you'll execute, review, and iterate in tight loops alongside process, automation, and mechanical engineers.

Key points

Own electrical design end-to-end - schematics, panel layouts, cable routing.
Hands-on wiring and installation alongside the engineering team.
Drive electrical acceptance, compliance, and grid operator interfaces.
Collaborate with automation on control panels, signal lists, and instrumentation.
Maintain electrical documentation and as-built records.

Your profile

Skills & Experience

Degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related field (Bachelor's minimum; Master's preferred).
5+ years of experience in industrial electrical engineering, with demonstrated ownership of both design and hands-on installation.
Proficient in EPLAN Electric P8 or equivalent schematic design tooling.
Strong working knowledge of low- and medium-voltage systems, switchgear, motor control, and field instrumentation.
Experience with control panel design and wiring in automation-heavy environments (PLC integration, sensor/actuator cabling).
Familiarity with German electrical standards and regulations (VDE, DIN EN, BetrSichV); experience with grid operator interfaces (e.g. Stromnetz, TAB) a strong plus.
Comfortable working in an industrial construction or pilot plant environment - safety-conscious and hands-on.

Workstyle and culture

Thinks in systems and owns outcomes - not just tasks
Fast learner who quickly grasps complex topics and stays curious about the problem, not just the solution
Combines scientific rigour with pragmatic, hands-on, build-and-learn instincts
Authentic, reflective, and self-organised - brings structure without losing speed

About us

We are an early startup with a big vision - remove 500 million tons of global CO2 emissions from the air by 2035 through Direct Air Capture, roughly the same weight as all humans on earth combined!

To meet our climate targets the reduction of CO2 emissions is not enough, the world actively has to remove billions of tons of CO2 from our atmosphere. To achieve that we at Ucaneo develop an innovative electrochemical Direct Air Capture technology mimicking the human lung to remove CO2 from ambient air.

We are a science and mission-driven team, fast-moving with a break-or-make attitude . Our office and industrial hall is located at Schwarze-Pumpe-Weg 16, 12681 Berlin including a large outdoor area to build one of the largest industrial DAC plants in Germany.

Our commitment to you:

Impact: You will work on the biggest problem of our time, climate change, with the potential to impact the lives of billions of people
Day to day: Full responsibility to design your own workstream and control your working hours with a very high degree of freedom, flat hierarchy and teamwork
Professional growth: Join a disruptive high-growth tech startup from day 1 and grow / lead a high-performing team
