NPI & Quality Engineer
About VOCAI
At Vocai, your work matters. Every day, you'll be working on deeptech solutions that transform how the world understands batteries.Today's batteries are black boxes, so energy storage manufacturers over-engineer and renewable energy providers underutilize capacity, leaving billions in performance untapped.Vocai changes this. We're turning electro-chemical signatures into real-time battery intelligence, revealing true energy storage degradations, optimizing performance, and detecting failures long before they occur.
We create opportunities across the energy storage and EV industries for maximizing energy storage capacity and extending energy assets lifetime, as well as enhancing safety.
Join us in shaping the future of energy storage.
