Your mission
Did you know that one single container ship emits more CO2 than 65,000 cars?
At CargoKite we are keen on changing this by developing the sailing ship of the 21st century. We are a diverse team of visionaries, engineers, and environmental advocates united by a common goal: to develop cutting-edge solutions that propel the shipping industry into a more sustainable era.
Are you a visionary with a passion for combating climate change? Do you have a knack for turning groundbreaking ideas into tangible, sustainable hardware solutions? If so, we invite you to join our trailblazing team at CargoKite and shape the future of maritime transportation.
We are seeking a seasoned and highly driven Head of E&I Development to join our dynamic team and spearhead the design and development of our groundbreaking wind-powered ship class. In this role, you will guide a team of young and passionate engineers and collaborate with a dynamic group of engineers, naval architects, and researchers to develop cutting-edge embedded and electrical systems for our autonomous, wind-powered ship class.
