EnPower, Inc. is a privately held Li-ion battery company commercializing next-generation cells that solve the energy power trade-off – a critical enabler to the mass electrification of vehicles. Headquartered in Indianapolis, IN, we have the capacity to produce up to 1.5 GWh annually. We are passionate about quietly doing our part to drive the energy transition and we seek high-voltage, high-ampere individuals to join our team! Are you ready to make it happen?

EnPower is always interested in bringing on proactive and passionate individuals through its internship opportunities. We view it as a great way to invest in young, energetic, world-class talent early on, and as a direct pipeline into full-time roles within the company. As a multi-disciplinary team commercializing critical technologies for electric mobility and other markets, EnPower's technical breadth encompasses materials science at the nanoscale, process optimizations at the micro-scale, manufacturing hardware engineering on the macro-scale, electrical engineering for integrated systems, software engineering for sample tracking, and more! We're an execution-focused team with rapidly evolving needs, and thus we gravitate towards versatile, "roll-your-sleeves-up" type engineers.
