Job Summary
We are at the beginning of aglobal energy transformationof a scalenot seenin generations.A future low-cost low-carbonelectricgrid serving a world thatelectrifies everythingis within our reach.
The last remaining gap is breaking the link between electricity supplyand demand. Thelowest-cost most sustainablesources ofenergytoday come from intermittent renewablegeneration;but our homes businesses and industries needelectricity at the flick of a switch.
That gap can be closed by energy storage: Devices that store electricity when it is plentiful thenprovide powerback to the grid when it is includingones usinglithium-ion batteriesare being deployed in massive numberstostart filling thisgap. But so farnone of those solutionshave proventhe abilityto deliverpowerany time anywhere over decades of service: The level of reliabilitywevecome to expect and that the future grid will need.
This is the biggest challenge in energy today. Invinity is at the forefront of finding a solution. And we need you to help us deliver it.
