    Job description

    At Growy, you’ll be part of a multidisciplinary engineering team that brings together mechanical, automation, software, and electrical experts to create next-generation vertical farms. The team you'll join consists of around 10 engineers, and this role is a key contributor to both our realization and R&D projects. Your main mission? Designing, implementing, and evolving the electrical systems that power our farms—from high-voltage switchboards to precision-controlled subsystems.

    In this role, you’ll also help raise the technical bar across the team by coaching junior engineers, sharing best practices, and fostering a collaborative, curious work environment. You’ll thrive here if you’re hands-on, proactive, and excited about working across disciplines to build truly innovative farming systems.

    Success in this role means: delivering safe, robust, and scalable electrical solutions, driving innovation within R&D, and helping others grow along the way.


    You will:

    • Design and develop end-to-end electrical systems for our vertical farms—including medium-voltage and low-voltage distribution (mostly under 1000V), safety systems, control panels, and machine interfaces.

    • Translate concepts into detailed schematics, panel layouts, cable schedules, and bills of materials using tools like EPLAN or AutoCAD Electrical.

    • Support on-site installation, testing, and commissioning of systems, ensuring quality and compliance.

    • Collaborate closely with system engineers, software developers, and mechanical designers to ensure seamless system integration.

    • Take an active role in R&D—developing prototypes, exploring new technologies, and pushing boundaries in agri-tech.

    • Ensure all designs meet electrical codes and safety standards.

    • Evaluate components and suppliers based on performance, cost, and long-term reliability.

    • Mentor junior engineers and technicians, and support knowledge-sharing within the team.

    • Document your work thoroughly and provide training and support for internal and external stakeholders.

    Job requirements


    You’ll need:

    • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

    • 3+ years of experience designing industrial electrical systems, including medium- and low-voltage applications.

    • Strong knowledge of power distribution, control panels, PLC systems, and automation principles.

    • Experience with CAD tools for electrical design (e.g., EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical).

    • Familiarity with relevant standards such as CE and UL.

    • A hands-on mindset and comfort working in both office and field environments.

    • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well in cross-functional teams.

    • Proven ability or interest in mentoring other engineers.

    Nice to have:

    • Experience in vertical farming, agricultural technology, or machine design.

    • Knowledge of renewable energy systems such as solar panels or battery storage.

    • Exposure to IoT systems or smart farm integration technologies.

    About Growy
    We are the first large-scale commercial vertical farm in the Netherlands, using water and energy efficiently while remaining completely pesticide-free. In Amsterdam, we grow salads, herbs, and microgreens by combining extensive agricultural experience with cutting-edge technology to deliver high-quality, on-demand fresh greens. You can call us Growers—or call us a tech company. We have strong roots in both. Our founder brings a wealth of experience in renewable energy, circular animal feed, and organic farming.

    We believe in teamwork, where everyone's voice matters. With our flat hierarchy, you'll be involved in decision-making and take ownership of your work. You’ll have the freedom to shape your role while continuously learning and growing. We foster a culture of knowledge-sharing and mutual learning, valuing your experience, drive, and passions. Join our diverse team of around 60 people in Amsterdam, from robotics engineers to biologists, all united by a shared passion for innovation and sustainability in agriculture.

    At Growy, you're not just working; you're part of a bigger mission to feed the world in a healthy way. Together, we make it happen. Ready to Grow(y)?
