At Gaussion we want to reduce charging times for electric vehicles (EVs) so that they are comparable with refuelling a traditional combustion vehicle. We believe that our patent-protected technology can achieve this, meaning lower resistance, faster EV charging and longer warranties. With a rapid expansion of our London headquarters, we have several opportunities to join our team.
We foster a collaborative and innovative work culture, where forward-thinking ideas and proactive learning are valued. Our close-knit team thrives in a fast-paced environment, driven by a shared passion for pushing the boundaries of energy and mobility solutions.
Role
You will be responsible for supporting our engineering team in all technical areas throughout the development for our rapid charging platform.
What you’ll be doing:
* Install and maintain test and prototyping equipment and tools.
* Support prototype development, assembly, and testing.
* Maintain health and safety records and the safety and good housekeeping of workspaces.
* Maintain consumables stocks and supply using industry best practices.
* Ensure test instruments are calibrated and preventative maintenance carried out.
* Organisation of the R&D laboratory and workshop environments.
You will report directly to the Lab Manager whilst also working closely with the wider team to ensure that milestones are hit and business plan achieved, on-time and to budget. Your contributions will ultimately build towards a full-scale demonstrator unit for the rapid charging of electric vehicles.
