Senior Electronics Engineer

At Relectrify, we're on a mission to engineer the future of battery energy storage. We are building a disruptive platform that dramatically reduces the cost of storage by unlocking significantly more energy from every battery cell.  We want to see a world abundant with clean energy and believe we will make a meaningful contribution. 

Our core values fuel and motivate our work: 

1. Prioritise what matters most: We strive to work with clear objectives and understand why they are the right goals to pursue. 
2. Think critically: We base our decisions on informed, open-minded evaluations, not on hierarchy or gut feelings. 
3. Be decisive: We prioritise action and continuously move forward, adapting as new data becomes available. 
4. Quality and elegance in everything: We put in the effort to distil complexity and make things as clear and impactful as possible. 
5. Collaborate or fail: We seek to work with those who excel and recognise that partnerships are essential to our success. 
6. Get jobs done: We focus on the core task – the job to be done – and we aren’t content until we’ve achieved the desired outcome. 

We embrace diverse experiences to fuel our collective success, ensuring everyone can do their best work. 

If you are looking to make a positive impact in the world of renewable energy by advancing battery technology, come join us. Even if you don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply — you might just be the perfect fit for our team.
