to join the

Elysia

department in a rapidly expanding and exciting work environment.


At Elysia, we are at the forefront of revolutionising the life, safety, and performance of battery systems, across markets and industries. As a pioneering technology company, we specialise in the development of cutting-edge software solutions that supports, optimises and de-risks the deployment of batteries, from cradle to grave, starting with design and manufacture, through to first-life monitoring and the transition to second-life or recycling.

About the Role

------------------

You will act as a technical contact on customer facing projects, translate requirements and provide technical support. By integrating and customizing the existing codebase into customer specific orchestration frameworks, they will build and parameterize automated customer pipelines for battery analytics. The output of these pipelines should be business relevant, actionable battery insights obtained using an understanding of both battery electrochemistry and systems integration. Once results are produced, you must be able to understand the validity of these results and have the understanding to identify anomalous results. You will be required to line manage more junior members of the team and lead technical delivery of select customer projects. You will collaborate with the broader cloud team in the development of the Elysia Battery Intelligence Cloud Platform. This collaboration should facilitate the generalization of customer specific algorithms into customer agnostic algorithms that can produce actionable insights into the performance, safety, and reliability of a diverse range of batteries

What you will do

--------------------


You will be delivery-focused with a pragmatic, product-oriented approach to development. You will need to be adaptable and able to pivot with changing customer demands. You will be able to manage more junior members of the team and be able to direct their learning and professional growth.
