Manufacturing Development Engineer

Manufacturing Development Engineer at Invinity Energy Systems – Join our team to transform renewable energy into a stable, dependable contributor to the transition to net zero.

Energy storage is one of the most exciting areas in energy today. Massive amounts of storage are required if renewable energy is to replace fossil fuels. Invinity provides an alternative to lithium‑ion batteries that wear out, limit use, and can catch fire. Our vanadium flow batteries don’t degrade, won’t catch fire, and can operate continuously from full charge to full discharge for 25 years.

With over 75,000 kWh deployed across 82 projects in 15 countries, we lead the industry in flow battery technology.

Pay range: CA $105,000 – CA $120,000 per year.

We are seeking a Manufacturing Development Engineer to join our Product Development organization. Reporting to the Director of Stack Development, you will play a key role in developing and optimizing manufacturing processes for Invinity’s next‑generation vanadium flow battery stacks.
