We are a stealth-mode battery startup developing cutting-edge battery technology. Our mission is to revolutionize battery technology to accelerate the global transition to clean energy. By leveraging innovative materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, and next-generation energy storage architectures, we are building the future of sustainable energy.

It’s not you, it’s us! We’re really excited about the potential of our technology, product, and mission, and have chosen to remain in stealth mode. If the job description piques your interest, please apply. If your skillset is aligned with what we’re looking for, the team will reach out to schedule your interview and tell you a bit more about us (e.g. who we are).

This role will build and run the company's environmental, health, and safety program from the ground up, with a strong emphasis on high voltage electrical safety given the nature of our manufacturing processes. This is a hands-on, build-it role for someone who wants to shape EHS infrastructure at a growing company, not administer an existing one. You will manage a small team and report directly to leadership.
