Aquila is building the world's first wireless energy network powered by light. And we’re looking for our founding Business Development Lead. Come work with us!
Aquila is building the future of energy, and it's made of light.
We're a fast-growing deep tech company based in Sydney on a mission to democratise energy accessibility. How? By building the world's first wireless energy network powered by light. Think of the internet, but instead of data, we're transmitting power. Our first frontier: laser beams that keep drones flying indefinitely and factory robots charging without ever stopping.
We're backed by world-class investors who believe in what we're building, with over $10 million (AUD) in funding from Blackbird, Possible, Icehouse, Startmate and the Australian Government. 2026 is shaping up to be our biggest year yet as we commercialise our technology and raise our Series A. If you're reading this, your timing is impeccable.
We're a team of builders, engineers and dreamers solving problems no one has solved before. Everything we do is guided by five core values:
At Aquila, we shape roles around exceptional people. If the mission excites you but you don't tick every box below, apply anyway. We'd love to hear from you.
As our first and only (for now!) Business Development Lead at Aquila, you will be responsible for unlocking and securing the partnerships that allow us to deploy at scale. Aquila is building an infinitely scalable energy network - and that means working with the most sophisticated and risk-sensitive customers in the country. Defence. Federal agencies. Grid operators. Infrastructure bodies. You will be the person who makes sure they feel they are in exceptionally safe hands.
