Elektroingenieur (m/w/d)

Boilers, furnaces, and kilns are the engines of our industrial economy, providing heat to melt steel, form cement, and transform chemicals. But historically reaching this high-temperature heat required burning fossil fuels, making the industrial sector responsible for 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Electrified Thermal Solutions has a simple and massive goal: to electrify industry.

To do this, we are building the Joule Hive™ thermal battery: an energy storage technology that converts and stores cheap, renewable electricity as high-temperature heat. Our vision is to mitigate gigatons of CO2 emissions per year by deploying the Joule Hive™ at every industrial furnace, turbine, boiler, and kiln.

As an Electrical Engineer, you will join our engineering team and play a pivotal role in scaling up our Joule Hive™ Thermal Battery. This job offers a unique opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project that will shape the future of renewable energy technology. You will lead field activities related to electrical system installation and commissioning. You will report to the Lead Electrical Engineer.
