Frontend Engineering Intern

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.

Founded in 2023 by ex-Tesla and Toyota employees, Glimpse is enabling battery quality at scale to support a safe and rapid transition to an electrified world. Visit glimp.se to learn more.
