Current openings at Universe Energy

We are Universe Energy, and we are the battery dismantling and repurposing company.

The world needs 2 billion batteries by 2050, but we need to mine 30x more, leaving a $10 Trillion supply gap. We first collect, dismantle, and sort used battery packs 95% cheaper and 7x faster with robotics and AI for EV makers and fleets. We then take care of used batteries, by remanufacturing and repurposing them, which helps these customers to make hundreds of millions in revenue, instead of paying for recycling. We will build the infrastructure to make 100k zero-impact batteries/year by 2030 from used ones without mining, generating millions/year and serving a massive grid storage market. Our mission is to unlock reused batteries as the primary source for the next 100M batteries to power a truly clean energy revolution and reduce 6 Giga tons of CO2 by 2050.

Our robot dismantles batteries.

We are building a cognitive robot that automatically diagnoses, disassembles, and discharges EV batteries using robotic manipulation, autonomous controls, and computer vision. The first-generation robotic system will automatically assess the battery’s state of health, remove covers from arbitrary battery packs (500 kg), and perform safe discharging. It then disassembles these batteries from the pack level (500 kg) down to the module level (25 kg). This system takes batteries apart 4x faster and safer than a human at 6x the throughput, leading to 50% lower unit economics.

Join the early team to make a positive impact on the planet from day one.

We launched our 4,500 sq ft pilot facility in El Segundo, Los Angeles. You can join the early team in robotics & battery engineering and business roles. You have the chance to shape the company trajectory from day one, build pioneering technology, and launch the first pilot programs with customers. You will work alongside a talented team to leave the world better than you found it. Think you're a real badass? Apply today and join the warehouse party to scale battery reuse to deliver the next billion batteries!
