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 $7 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 an electronics engineer at Aquila, you will work on cutting-edge technology that has the potential to change how we distribute energy around the world: unlocking sustainable aviation, maritime and transportation.
No one has yet developed a fully functional, safe, and convenient end-to-end laser-based energy delivery system. Electronics testing and integration is a massive part of that. It's responsible for ensuring we can convert energy efficiently and safely. It ensures we can collect and transmit relevant data between integrated circuits and radio systems. Finally, it's vital in building high-speed laser-based targeting and safety systems.
This position fundamentally involves applying your aptitude, curiosity, and energy to solve these broad, integrated power electronics problems. Problems encouraging learning and growth, ideally leading towards being a pivotal part of our teams’ success.
