Zinc8 Energy Solutions is developing a range of energy storage products based on a novel zinc-air flow battery technology. An expanding market for these products exists in utility, commercial, industrial, microgrid and similar applications. Unlike lithium-ion technology, which requires new stacks to scale, Zinc8 has completely decoupled the linkage between energy and power. This means that scaling Zinc8's technology can be accomplished by simply increasing the size of the fuel tank and quantity of recharged zinc fuel. Position OverviewWe are looking for a Mechanical Technician Co-op student to help build our novel flow battery technology. Working with the Stack Assembly and Test team, this hands-on position will support the assembly of our different subsystems, modules and test systems.
