Enabling Battery Quality at Scale | Climate Optimist

About Glimpse

The last decade has been incredibly exciting for electric mobility. However, the electrification of the transportation industry has scaled while relying on an insufficient set of quality control tools. This has led to uncomfortably high rates of battery pack failure and multi-billion-dollar safety recalls. In our view, every headline of electric vehicles and e-bikes catching fire is a major impediment towards an all-electric future.

After having spent a few years in the trenches of battery and electric vehicle factories at Tesla and Toyota, Glimpse’s cofounders developed a vision for a one-stop-shop battery Quality Management Solution, which they actualized through the launch of the Glimpse Portal in March 2024. Today, Glimpse counts some of the world’s largest battery producers and OEMs, such as Lucid Motors and NASA, among its customers.

Role

We're looking for a sharp, pragmatic Software Engineer ready to take on a unique challenge: building high-throughput data processing systems that operate autonomously at the edge and in demanding environments. This role blends software engineering, DevOps, and hands-on compute hardware interaction to deliver systems capable of processing terabytes of data per hour.

You’ll play a key role in designing and implementing scalable, reliable infrastructure that bridges the physical and digital worlds. If you thrive in solving real-world problems with code, love Python, and enjoy working close to the metal, this role is for you.
