Zembo sells
electric motorcycle taxis, offers a battery swap service and operates recharge
stations. The battery is key in our operation and strategy: it is the core of
our business and it has to be powerful and reliable during a long cycle life
(objective >1500 cycles). This is also an important asset that Zembo owns
and has to amortize.
Your role is
both to ensure reliable operations and to continuously improve the battery
technology:
- Improve the monitoring system and implement proactive
maintenance and repair procedures.
- Implement solutions to extend the cycle life.
- Work with suppliers (cells, BMS, pack) to reach the
technical and operational objectives.
- Train the team on battery specific topics.
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.
- Experience in IOT is a
plus (RS485 communication, low-level programming).
- 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.
Benefits
As a start-up
working under the principles of a self-organized management (teal), we offer
you a motivating and dynamic environment. You have a lot of responsibilities,
autonomy, and the possibility to shape our young company.
