Vancouver Metro Vancouver Regional District, CA Invinity Energy Systems plc Full time

Energy storage is the most exciting area in energy today. Massive amounts of energy storage are required if renewable energy is to take its rightful place on the electric grid. Invinity provides an alternative to the most common type of battery, lithium-ion because the battery technology that works so well in our pockets doesn’t work as well at the grid scale; it wears out, limits use, and even catches fire.

Manufactured as a standardized product in a factory, Invinity’s vanadium flow batteries don’t degrade, won’t catch fire, and can be operated continuously from full charge to full discharge for 25 years. Invinity has 75,000 kilowatt-hours of its modular battery systems in 82 projects across 15 countries - more than any other company in the space. We’ve deployed the largest flow battery systems in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UK, and are supported by the UK Infrastructure Bank, the U.S. Department of Energy, and some of the world’s leading institutional investors.

A compelling product and recent funding put Invinity in a position to grow dramatically as it addresses the global imperative for stationary energy storage. Join us as we help transform renewable energy into a stable and dependable contributor to the transition to net zero.

Invinity has operations in the UK, Canada, the U.S., Australia, and China and trades publicly in the UK on AIM and AQSE and in the U.S. on OTCQX. For more information about us visit our webpage.

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join our Product Development organization.

  • Able to create, read, understand, and develop 3D models;
  • Produce comprehensive design packages including CAD models, assembly drawings, BOM’s, detail drawings, finite element analysis, and hand calculations, whilst having a strong consideration for cost in all designs;
  • Produce design failure mode and effect analysis (DFMEA) and risk assessments where required;
  • Experience with fabrication methods, sheet metal, welding, casting, and injection moulding;
  • Experience with testing and troubleshooting using diagnostic and test equipment;
  • Well-honed problem-solving skills, including the use of structured tools (8D, etc.) to drive root cause and corrective action processes;
  • History of documenting and communicating procedures, specifications, and test results for internal and external audiences;

The salary for this position ranges from $115,000 to $135,000 and will be determined by a combination of the interview process, prior work experience, and educational background.

If you are great at what you do, willing to engage with our collaborative culture, and motivated by making a difference in the world, consider joining us. Invinity Energy Systems is small enough that every team member plays a critical role in our daily business, but large enough to participate in landmark clean energy projects around the world.
