About Us:

SunDrive is one of Australia's most exciting start-ups, operating in one of the world's most exciting spaces – renewable energy technology. We are on a mission to unlock Solar's full potential by revolutionising how solar cells are made, to unlock new heights of efficiency, and sustainability.

Founded in 2015 by two UNSW roommates, we have come a long way from the breakthrough made in their garage to producing the world’s most efficient commercial-sized solar cell.

In 2022, we secured $21 million in our Series A funding round and are backed by some of Australia’s top venture capital firms (Blackbird, Main Sequence, Virescent, and Mike Cannon-Brooke’s private investment fund, Grok), tech founders, a former Australian Prime Minister, and the Australian Government.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Junior Mechatronics Engineer to join our equipment development team. You’ll be part of a small but highly skilled team of 2, working closely with colleagues across mechanical, chemical, and process engineering.

Reporting directly to the Head of Mechatronics, you’ll help design, build, and refine the software and systems that power our automated production and laboratory processes. Your work will be central to scaling and improving the technologies that make SunDrive a global leader in solar innovation.

You will have direct exposure and impact across our business as you develop software and data analysis methods for automated processes, in which you will collaborate across a range of engineers with various backgrounds and skills to solve complex challenges and ultimately create a more efficient working environment.
