Lead - Mechanical Integration

Description

You’ll be working with the product and engineering team.

This team runs on coffee with an infectious passion to build products that have never been built before. Our Flexible Energy Stack consists of the e^pack (battery pack) and e^pump (charging station) which together unlock 15-minute rapid charging.

Our philosophy: Break. Believe. Build.

There’s no playbook for disruption. The only way to create a radical future is to continuously break, believe and build — You have to BREAK stuff, assumptions and the thumb rule. You have to BELIEVE in the process, in the team and through failures. You have to BUILD fast & passionately and build to simplify.
