Job Description

About Ample:

Do you want to change the world? Ample, Inc. is a pioneer in the electric vehicle space that is developing a new way to deliver energy to any electric vehicle. At Ample we use advanced robotics to enable modular battery swapping that is as fast and as convenient as visiting a gas station, but cheaper. We are a team of technologists, designers, and environmental enthusiasts who believe this problem to be among the most critical challenges of our time. Join Ample and help us make this a reality for billions of vehicles.

Our co-founders are experienced entrepreneurs and our team is able to solve very complex challenges by combining creative technology design with fast iteration. This is not a company for the faint of heart. You'll be working with a small, intense and highly capable team on cars, robots, and intelligent batteries. If the technology doesn't exist, we're not afraid to dream it and then build it, while always keeping in mind it must be designed for reliability, affordability and easy deployment.
