Module Reliability And Testing Technician

**About Us**:
SunDrive is one of Australia's most exciting start-ups, operating in one of the world's most exciting spaces - renewable energy technology.

We are on a mission to unlock Solar's full potential by revolutionizing how solar cells are made, to unlock new heights of efficiency, cost, and sustainability.

Founded in 2015 by two UNSW roommates (Vince Allen - a PhD student in solar and David Hu - a former investment banker), we have come a long way from the breakthrough made in their garage to producing the world's most efficient commercial-sized solar panel.

In 2022, we secured $21 million in our Series A funding round, and are backed by some of Australia's top venture capital firms (Blackbird, Main Sequence, Virescent, and Mike Cannon-Brooke's private investment fund, Grok), tech founders, a former Australian Prime Minister, and the Australian Government.
