Company mission
To create technologies that enable people to breathe cleaner air.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in a STEM subject
- 3-5 years of data engineering experience. If this is in the battery industry or battery research that’s a plus, but not essential
- Proficient with data analysis and visualisation in Python and Matlab / R
- Strong understanding of and experience with SQL databases
- Experience implementing a data pipeline is a plus, but not essential
- Willingness to take responsibility for own career development
- A team player with a proactive and open-minded attitude
- Kind and conscientious
What the job involves
- The responsibilities of this role will grow over time, and you will be involved in helping us determine them
- You will spend time getting to know the team, product, and current capabilities before taking the data reins and shaping our data setup in line with needs of our teams
- In the first 3-6 months you will:
- Take responsibility for our data analysis tools, including scripting, automations, parameter extraction, exploration and data visualisation
- Build dashboards based on our Matlab data pipeline to enable our engineering and commercial teams to visualise results
- Implement scheduled uploading of test data captured on local PCs to cloud systems
- Provide data pipeline support to the engineering and commercial teams
- Gain a deep understanding of our current data landscape and requirements
- After ~6 months you will:
- Lead the migration of our database to a scalable and versatile alternative (with external support as required). Propose an appropriate design and architecture based on our future needs
- Lead the development and implementation of a scalable and robust data pipeline once we outgrow Matlab (with external data architect support as required)
- Be deeply engaged with our battery management software development, enabling you to identify and implement impactful improvements in the data pipeline
- Be responsible for maintenance and continuous improvement of all of our data tooling and architecture

Our take
The modern world is becoming increasingly battery-powered. Take electric cars, for example; it is predicted that that by 2025, 20% of all new cars sold across the world will be electric, and this figure is expected to double by 2030. Similarly, in 2021, Nasa announced the X-57, an experimental two-seater plane powered entirely by battery. It is becoming increasingly clear, then, that battery is the future of the modern world.
Breathe is hoping to capitalise on this developing trend. Their software - 'Lincc' - is the first to bring advanced battery management techniques to the electric vehicles and consumer electronics markets. Traditionally, the software managing battery physics and battery models could only be run on powerful workstation or desktop computing environments. Breathe, however, boasts that its software can be run on the low-power, low-cost microcontrollers in electric vehicles and consumer electronics. In practice, this unlocks a suite of potential improvements without any expensive hardware or materials upgrades. Breathe believes this will help accelerate battery technology rapidly to become more efficient, less wasteful, safer and fit for more applications.
Breathe will also benefit from a world which is increasingly focused on sustainability. Battery technology is known to be greener than alternatives, and if Breathe can unlock things like faster charging times and longer battery lifespans, it could really reduce some of the existing barriers to battery adoption.
