As the battery leader, you’ll have the responsibility and autonomy to lead the battery team and develop the future Zembo batteries. Your objective is to enable Zembo to develop from a start-up managing hundreds of batteries and 30 stations to a recognized company operating thousands of batteries and hundreds of stations.

Requirements
• Battery engineer, Master level preferred.
• Experience in battery pack design, lithium (notably LFP) cells testing, evaluation of key parameters, advanced BMS functions & sourcing.

• Work experience and knowledge about EV integrations and communications with other components is a plus.
• Entrepreneurial and problem solver spirit.
• Willing to stand behind and be part of a teal organization.
• Time and location: full-time, based in Kampala most of the time, starting as soon as you can.

• While persons of all gender, origin, orientation, age, and identity are encouraged to apply, we actively promote women in leadership positions and strongly encourage women to apply.
