Job Description
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.
