Are you ready to make a change in the energy transition and have a positive impact on the climate? Join the Unbound Potential (UP) team, a Swiss startup founded in 2023 by a group of passionate engineers, chemists, and economists from ETH Zürich. 

We envision a resilient electrified society, independent not only from fossil fuels, but also from critical mined materials, such as Lithium-ion or Vanadium. How can we reach that goal? By developing a disruptive innovative solution: a membrane-less redox flow battery that works exclusively with organic chemistry. Despite the name, our system is the simplest large-scale stationary energy storage you can imagine, usable by energy-intensive industries as well as energy utilities seeking cheap and sustainable energy storage solutions.

As an Energy Engineer Intern in our Business Development team, you will play a pivotal role by informing the engineering team about the relevant techno-economic KPIs, conducting market and competitor research and quantitatively and qualitatively assess new potential business opportunities for large-scale stationary batteries.

What you will do:

• Conducting techno-economic analysis of UP and competing technologies (LCOS, CapEx etc.) in the context of the rapidly evolving BESS market.
• Conducting market research to gather and analyze data on different competing technologies / businesses and compiling reports for strategic decision-making.
• Conducting market research to gather data and insight on different market / use cases opportunities and compiling reports for strategic decision-making.
• Supporting the assessment of technological and CO2 abatement potential of UP’s technology.
• Providing support in analyzing and monitoring business and technological key performance indicators (KPI) to increase the operational efficiency.
• Supporting the business department by identifying and pursuing strategic opportunities.

What you will bring:

• Educational background and experience in energy, engineering or business administration with proven interest in the energy space.
• Experience with coding for handling and analysing data (e.g. Python, Matlab, Mathematica etc.).
• High degree of independency and proactive approach.
• Experience in flow batteries or similar/related systems (desirable but not mandatory).
• Experience in coordinating with multiple coworkers.
• Strong organizational and interpersonal skills.
• Practical skills in a professional environment.

You are:

• Motivated to work in a dynamic, high-performance, collaborative, young and fun start-up environment.
• Strongly interested in the climate-tech space.
• Independent and detail-oriented.
• Passionate about driving the renewable energy transition.
• Excellent team player.
• Fluent in English; knowledge of German is a plus
