SunDrive’s proprietary technology enables the use of copper instead of silver for solar cell electrodes. This technological breakthrough has significant benefits, including greater efficiency, lower cost, a scalable supply chain, and more environmentally friendly production.
Founded in 2015, SunDrive is backed by some of Australia’s top venture capital firms (Blackbird, Main Sequence, Virescent, Grok), tech founders, and the Australian Government (CEFC, ARENA). SunDrive has quickly grown from a UNSW Ph.D. project in a garage to producing the world’s most efficient commercial-sized solar cells.
As a Junior Mechatronics Engineer, you'll work alongside experienced software and mechatronics engineers, gaining hands-on experience in how we design, build and validate automation systems for our customers. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your technical skills while contributing to real-world engineering projects and commercial solutions.
If you're excited by the opportunity to help SunDrive bring its novel technology from R&D into commercial deployment, while learning and growing as part of a passionate, high-impact engineering team, we want to hear from you!
This role is a fixed term, 6-month contract.
