We are Skytree

Skytree enables a transition to a world with cleaner Air for everyone. We do this by developing and deploying smart technology that captures atmospheric carbon dioxide, enabling its use or storage to combat climate change and aid society and businesses around the world.

Born out of the European Space Agency (ESA), we are a global team of highly talented scientists, engineers and business professionals, supported by an experienced management team. Our working culture is based on a dynamic and smart approach to business with an open and understanding attitude to others and a desire to expand the boundaries of what is possible.

• Creating detailed electrical schematics, diagrams, and technical documentation.

• Conducting thorough analysis and calculations to ensure optimal electrical design and efficiency.

• Selecting and evaluating electrical components and subsystems to meet product requirements.

• Working on debugging and launching new prototypes of Skytree CO2 capture machines.

• Performing electrical simulations and modeling for system validation and optimization.

• Preparing necessary documentation, reports, and test plans for certification purposes.

• Executing root cause analysis on prototype models, helping out with improvements on the design.

What we're looking for

• You have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.

• At least 8+ years proven experience in electrical design engineering , including new product development.

• Experience as (technical) lead within a team focused on (new) product development.

• Experience with complex industrial equipment (low volume / high complexity).

• Knowledge of electrical safety standards and regulations (i.e. IEC).

• Expert knowledge of EPLAN for 2D as well as 3D (Pro Panel) design, incl. macro's, labeling/numbering, cable mgt. et ecetera.

• Experience with power electronics, LV range and I&C.

• Very good calculation and analysis skills.
