Job description
We’re currently looking for an Electronics Test Engineer to join our team!
Our planet’s survival depends on a sustainable energy future. Existing technologies create progress towards this goal, but to accelerate the energy transition we must unlock additional sustainable energy sources. Ampyx Power is developing an Airborne Wind Energy System (AWES) that can access powerful wind at high altitude using tethered unmanned aircraft.
Do you want to use your unique skills to help us in developing pioneering sustainable energy technology? Join us, and be part of our adventure!
Introducing our team and culture
We believe that a diversity of perspectives, ideas, cultures, and common passion to make a difference is needed to develop our pioneering technology.

The future of our planet's survival depends on sustainable energy.
To accelerate the energy transition we must unlock additional sustainable energy resources. There’s huge potential from wind power at high altitudes, but current wind turbines max out at 200 m. The Ampyx Power team develops an innovative Airborne Wind Energy System (AWES). This includes a tethered aircraft that accesses the higher and more powerful winds, with much smaller foundations and much less material overall. It also greatly increases the availability of sites for cost-effective harvesting of wind energy. By developing innovative, elegant and material-reducing solutions, our team will help meet tomorrow’s energy needs.
The mission of Ampyx Power is to expand the sustainable energy supply with scalable airborne wind innovation. Which fits in our vision to create innovative, elegant technology to harvest untapped energy sources for a sustainable future, for all.
