We’re on the hunt for a dynamic Senior Sales Engineer who embodies innovation and drive. If you’re a blend of engineer and sales strategist, passionate about leading-edge technology and sustainability, and thrive in a collaborative environment, we want you.
SENIOR SALES ENGINEER
Company Overview
Join VoltSafe Inc., a trailblazing Canadian clean tech innovator, as we redefine electrical connectivity with our patented magnetic plug solutions. Based in Vancouver, BC, we’re not just another company; we’re pioneers and on a mission (with worldwide patents to prove it) to make electricity safer, simpler, and smarter. From household to commercial, marine to autonomous vehicles, our products are setting new standards.
In the past 140 years, humankind has invented radio, flight, television, the Internet, the Hadron Collider, CRISPR, AI and even reusable rockets, yet we still plug our toasters in daily, just like our great-great-grandparents did. And while the world has remained infatuated with innovation at the device-end of electrical cords, VoltSafe is focused on innovation at the other end. In 2018 we made an appearance on Dragons’ Den and showed the world what the future of connecting to electricity could look like, with our early prototypes.
VoltSafe’s patented technology revolutionizes power delivery by merging the efficiency of traditional pronged plugs with the seamless convenience of wireless charging. VoltSafe eliminates arcing, electrocution & fire risk, along with poor power transfer efficiencies and the high costs associated with induction and other wireless technologies.
