Automotive Tests Engineer / Technician FR/EN
TOLV
Grenoble
TOLV is a Mission-Driven Company that converts combustion engine vehicles (diesel or gasoline) into 100% electric vehicles. This is known as retrofit, a technique officially authorized in France since April 2020.
At the heart of this innovation is a simple observation: there are over a billion combustion engine vehicles on Earth, responsible for approximately 30% of global CO2 emissions. Rather than sending these vehicles to the scrapyard to produce another billion clean vehicles, we have decided to give them a second life by converting them to electric.
The company currently employs around twenty five individuals, and we are constantly on the lookout for talented individuals who will strengthen our teams. If you wish to contribute to making mobility cleaner and more accessible, and if you share our values and ambitions, we invite you to apply without delay!
