CT reconstruction scientist at Glimpse

The last decade has been incredibly exciting for electric mobility. However, the electrification of the transportation industry has scaled at the expense of battery quality, leading to uncomfortably high rates of battery pack failure and multi-billion-dollar safety recalls. In our view, every headline of electric vehicles and e-bikes catching fire is a major impediment towards an all-electric future.

This is why Glimpse is on a mission to enable battery quality at scale. 

After having spent a few years in the trenches of battery and electric vehicle factories at Tesla and Toyota, Glimpse’s cofounders developed a vision for a one-stop-shop battery Quality Management Solution, which they actualized through the launch of the Glimpse Portal in March 2024. Today, Glimpse counts some of the world’s largest battery producers and OEMs, such as Lucid Motors and NASA, among its customers.

As an early-stage engineer at Glimpse, you will shape the direction of the company and its product. Working closely with Glimpse's Chief Technology Officer, you will design and build algorithms to process projection data for high-speed CT reconstruction, empowering Glimpse's customers to quickly diagnose and improve the quality of their batteries. These approaches will unlock rapid, high-quality battery CT scans for our customers and enable them to regain control over their manufacturing operations. These algorithms will serve as core IP of our product.

You’re fired up by:

• Making electric mobility safer, more affordable, and less wasteful
• Developing cutting-edge, high-performing algorithms to minimize scan acquisition time while maintaining high image quality
• Relentlessly getting things done and taking ownership for and pride in your work
• Contributing to our engineering culture and best practices
