AddressDo you love the Maldives? Seychelles? Bora Bora? What about the thousands of other places around the world burning diesel every day just so that they can keep the lights on?
Well, we do! That’s why we’re trying to help them.
Who we are
We’re AEON Energy, and our mission is to enable every community in the world to generate and store their clean energy locally.
We have started with Islands.
With our small team, we hope to improve the lives of millions who live there by providing them access to reliable and renewable power. To achieve that, we are developing an innovative product that allows islands to generate energy from multiple sources without occupying a single square foot of land space.
We have designed two products, and will shortly be deploying a full-scale pilot of the coast of Ungoofaaru. Not only that but we are also expanding to other locations and have a second pilot project in Fiji, starting in Q2 2024.
The good news is that you can be a part of this. You can have the opportunity to travel to some of the world’s most beautiful places whilst working to save them.
What you will do
Your primary job will help us develop our product’s power electronics and associated IoT systems. You will be presented with many technical challenges and will need to leverage your knowledge and research skills to address them cost-effectively.
From laying a submarine cable with minimal tooling to measuring the RPM of a generator thousands of miles away, there will be no shortage of interesting problems to solve.
You’ll be expected to help us manage subcontractors, both in the UK and abroad, where we will have the support of both ours and the vast Energy Catalyst network.
Who we are looking for

· Growth Mindset
· Advanced degree (e.g. MEng, MSc) in Power Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or other technically relevant fields
· Have the Right to Work in the UK
· Be based in London (or able to commute)
Other useful points would be:
· Have experience with/knowledge of IoT technology and main protocols.
· Have experience with floating/offshore energy
· Experience with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
· Have experience with the design and maintenance of renewable energy systems.
· Not be afraid of making mistakes – and learning from them
· Be eager to work in a small team
What you will get
· £30,000 to £40,000 a year, plus share options.
· A chance to travel the globe.
· Be a part of building a company from an early stage.
· Boost R&D skills.
· Get a chance to participate in the development of a game-changing product.
· Witness your thoughts and ideas deeply impact our work and company culture.
How to apply
Take a second to consider if this is really for you. We are a small team with limited resources and the odds are against us. As such, we all have to work long hours and cope with strict deadlines. We are making the world a better place, and every day counts.
