ABOUT YOU
You have at least 3 years’ experience working as an electrical engineer or on a related field.
You’re the type of person that has always liked to tinker with things, pull things apart, and figure out how they work or how to improve them. You are inherently practical and results driven. You roll up your sleeves to get things done and make things happen with whatever resources are available to you. You are innovative and have an analytical mindset to efficiently tackle the problems you might face. Your energy, enthusiasm and ability to deliver, has that magical effect of rallying colleagues, partners and stakeholders to support your cause.
You appreciate that being part of a young and dynamic company you need to be adaptable and willing to step outside your core role when needed. This may include regular travel, field work, representing the company at events, writing reports, and meeting partners and customers.
