The Opportunity - (Fully Remote, Perm role) This is a greenfield data platform build. ___ is in the middle of a major AI transformation — a multi‐agent copilot platform (KAI) is already live in production, serving manufacturing clients globally. The AI roadmap is ambitious (agentic AI capabilities, multi‐agent orchestration, voice interfaces), and the next wave of capabilities depends on a strong data engineering foundation. A Databricks lakehouse POC is being evaluated (Unity Catalog, Delta Sharing, PrivateLink to RDS), and the team is assessing the right long‐term analytics platform strategy. This role builds the entire data engineering function from scratch — defining the architecture, tooling, and patterns that power the next generation of AI capabilities. This is an entirely forward‐looking role. While there is an active platform modernisation underway (the engineering team is migrating a .NET platform from SQL Server to PostgreSQL and containerising for Kubernetes), this role’s primary focus is building new data pipelines and analytics infrastructure, not maintaining legacy systems. That said, collaboration with the platform engineering team is important, as the data pipelines need to ingest from both the existing SQL Server estate and the new PostgreSQL databases. Core Technical Requirements • Python — primary language for data pipelines, scripting, and integration with the AI stack. This is a Python‐first team, • SQL (SQL Server + PostgreSQL) — deep experience required across both engines. The platform runs a large‐scale multi‐tenant database estate with per‐client schemas (local, global, corporate). The new platform targets Aurora PostgreSQL, with several modules already migrated. Pipelines must bridge both., • Databricks / Apache Spark — a lakehouse POC is being evaluated with Unity Catalog and Delta Sharing via AWS PrivateLink. Experience with Databricks or equivalent analytics platforms is important for assessing and scaling the right approach, • Apache Kafka — event streaming experience is essential. The platform is evaluating Kafka as the strategic backbone for ordered event logs, consumer group replay, and guaranteed partition ordering as the microservices fleet scales, • ETL/ELT pipeline design — building and maintaining pipelines into a medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold layers) on Databricks or equivalent analytics platform, • Delta Lake — understanding of lakehouse table formats, time travel, and ACID transaction patterns, • AWS data services — RDS, S3, Lambda, Glue or equivalent. The platform runs entirely on AWS • Linux / CLI proficiency — must be comfortable working AI-Assisted Development Methodology -> Solvace is transitioning towards AI‐assisted development as a core engineering practice. Candidates should demonstrate: • Hands‐on experience with AI coding tools — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar. We’re looking for engineers who have integrated these tools into their professional workflow, not just experimented casually, • Spec‐driven development — ability to write clear technical specifications that can be used to drive both human and AI‐assisted implementation, with strong evaluation criteria and test coverage, • Portfolio evidence — professional projects or side projects that demonstrate AI‐assisted development practices. Contributions to or experimentation with emerging projects like OpenClaw are a strong signal, • Testing and evaluation rigour — experience building robust test suites, automated quality gates, and evaluation frameworks that ensure AI‐assisted code meets production standards Nice-to-Have -> • Apache Flink — for real‐time stream processing as the platform moves from batch to streaming analytics, • Apache Iceberg — experience with open table formats alongside or as an alternative to Delta Lake, • Go or Rust — valued as evidence of strong backend engineering and systems thinking, even though Python is the primary language, • Multi‐tenant data architectures — the platform runs per‐client schemas with tenant isolation requirements. Understanding tenant isolation patterns is a significant advantage, • Terraform / IaC — infrastructure is managed via Terraform; the Databricks POC has been codified in Terraform, • dbt or similar transformation framework, • Manufacturing / industrial data domain experience (sensor data, quality metrics, OEE, SPC), • CDC (Change Data Capture) — the platform is building CDC pipelines for the SQL Server to PostgreSQL transition, • Weaviate or other vector database experience — currently used for semantic search in the AI agent layer Why Join? • Greenfield data platform — the entire data engineering practice needs to be built from scratch. A lakehouse POC is being evaluated but the production architecture is theirs to define — patterns, tooling, and platform decisions from day one, • Direct AI impact — every pipeline they build directly unblocks AI agent capabilities. The KAI copilot is live in production and evolving towards agentic AI — autonomous agents that take actions, orchestrate workflows, and operate across systems. This role provides the data foundation that makes agentic capabilities possible, • Event streaming architecture — opportunity to design and implement a Kafka‐based event backbone, shaping the platform’s real‐time data architecture, • Manufacturing AI — opportunity to work at the intersection of industrial operations and generative AI, a domain with massive untapped potential. Rich, real‐world data: quality inspections, KPIs, maintenance records, safety observations, process parameters across global manufacturing sites, • Small team, high autonomy — the Innovation Hub operates with startup‐level autonomy inside a funded, growing company, • Leadership trajectory — the data function is critical to the platform and will grow. As an early hire, there is an open career path that will grow with the function — earned, not guaranteed

About the Company Trine Energy is a UK based early stage startup developing products for transmission of electrical power (1MW+) using power of fiber (PoF) as the core technology. PoF is already in use in many industries. However the power used in those applications are in milliwatts. Our power transmission target is orders of magnitude higher. It is a challenging yet exciting problem to solve. We are working on the hypothesis that the production of power is a solved problem. Solar and wind based energy production has been rapidly scaling since the start of the century. In fact there is too much generation of solar and wind power in many European countries leading to curtailment and negative spot price of electricity. Renaissance of fission nuclear reactors and the advancements in fusion means there will be no shortage of electrical power. The challenge will be to distribute that power at a national and global scale. Today, the only option of distributing electrical power over distance is the power grid. It works, but just. It is a super old technology. It takes immense effort to build or expand, and is costly to maintain. According to various studies, ~$1 Trillion of annual investment is needed globally to upgrade and expand the grid networks to reach net zero target by 2050. Governments don’t have fiscal capacity to make such investments. It has not seen any real innovation for a very long time and there is none on the horizon to significantly reduce the cost. It gets unstable when there is too much intermittent power in the mix, which goes against the global drive for energy transition. It is fragmented, and has no global scale. Laser and fiber optic, in comparison, are modern technologies, enjoying rapid innovation. Both are highly flexible products. They have many interesting properties that electricity and power cables don’t have. They can be produced in significantly higher volumes and are easy to deploy. Their cost and performance are improving at Moore’s law scale. This opens the opportunity for us to build products and become an alternative to specific use cases that are easier to develop and implement in the near term, such as providing power redundancy using short distance transmission (<5km) to critical infrastructure such as defense systems and data centers. It is also possible to deliver electrical power as thermal energy for commercial and industrial heating. The long term goal is to create a global network of power, much like the internet, where producers and end users can connect instantly and seamlessly using our technology. The products that solve the energy distribution problem at a global scale have the potential to define a new industry. Our plan is to combine technologies from different fields of science and engineering such as high power diode and fiber lasers, specialised fiber optic, power over fiber, and thermal photovoltaic cells to achieve the goal. By using technologies that are already invented and commercialised, and pushing the boundaries of engineering and finance to create a product that solves one of the biggest energy transition bottlenecks, is a mission worth pursuing. About the role The Photonics Engineer is the engineering lead for high‑power optical delivery at Trine. You will own how multi‑kilowatt to megawatt‑class optical power is generated, guided through fibers and cables, and delivered reliably over 1–100 km. This is a hands‑on, system‑facing role that bridges simulations, suppliers, and early hardware. • Own the high‑power optical delivery path: define fiber types (MMF, LMA, PCF, HCF), core sizes, fiber counts per cable, and operating points for CW power over long distances., • Translate optical and multiphysics simulation results into practical design rules: power per fiber, safe operating areas, bend and routing limits, splicing strategy, and safety margins., • Design and iterate fiber bundle and cabling concepts for underground/undersea deployment, balancing attenuation, thermal limits, reliability, installation, and maintenance., • Specify, evaluate, and qualify lasers and fiber components from OEMs and fiber manufacturers; define technical requirements and compare architectures against performance, operational, and cost KPIs., • Prototype and test early subsystems (delivery rigs, test fibers, connectors, sample cables), define test plans, and feed measurements back into models and design decisions., • Work closely with product, research, and simulation colleagues to align the delivery architecture with near‑term use cases (defence redundancy, data centers, industrial heat) and the scaling roadmap., • Create clear documentation of architectures, assumptions, trade‑offs, and test results that can be shared with suppliers, partners, and future team members. What we are looking for in the candidate • B.E./Tech, M.E/Tech, MSc or PhD in Physics, Photonics, Optical Engineering, or a closely related field., • Hands‑on experience with high‑power fiber delivery: large‑core or specialty fibers (e.g., MMF, LMA, PCF, HCF) at ≥100 W CW, ideally into the kW range., • Solid understanding of nonlinear and damage mechanisms in fibers (e.g., SRS, SBS, thermal damage, fiber fuse) and how they scale with power, length, and core size., • Experience configuring or integrating industrial diode or fiber lasers and their delivery fibers (end caps, collimators, connectors, safety interlocks)., • Working proficiency with Python and at least one simulation environment (in‑house codes, COMSOL, Ansys, or similar) for analyzing propagation and basic thermal effects., • Comfort making design trade‑offs with incomplete data, iterating quickly, and owning decisions in a small, distributed startup team., • Experience in specialty fiber development or industrialisation (e.g., hollow‑core, PCF), including collaboration with fiber drawing facilities or process engineers., • Experience taking fiber or laser technologies from lab concept towards standardised product: defining specs, qualification tests, and working with suppliers to meet them., • Exposure to underground/undersea cable concepts, deployment, or reliability for optical or power cables., • Experience with coupled optical–thermal–mechanical models for high‑power components and systems., • Previous work with defence, energy, or data‑center applications that demand high reliability and robust safety engineering. What we offer • Remote‑first role, open to UK and non‑UK candidates. Full‑time, with the option to start part‑time and ramp up., • Opportunity to define how multi‑MW optical power is moved through fibers at scale and to shape a new class of energy‑distribution infrastructure.
