Aquila is building the future of energy, and it’s made of light
Why Join Aquila?
Life at Aquila is about doing extraordinary things with incredible people. We're a fast-growing, multidisciplinary team of engineers, physicists, and builders from companies like Baraja, Rocket Lab, Vow, and EOS. We care deeply about our people and offer a range of benefits to support you:
Everyone is an owner. In addition to excellent base compensation, every "Eagle" owns equity in the company, so we all benefit from our hard work and future success.
Generous paid parental leave. We offer eight weeks of parental leave above the government-allocated amount.
Relocation budget & support. Support for interstate or overseas team members and their families (including pets!).
Flexible working hours and location. While we often enjoy shooting lasers in our fully decked-out facilities, if there are days when we can work from anywhere, then we work from anywhere.
Unlimited personal leave. We recognise that sometimes you need time off to recuperate, look after your mental health, or deal with an emergency. We provide unlimited (within reason) personal leave, and you're always paid for days taken off.
$1K annual health and growth budget. For side projects, health, gizmos, gadgets, skills you want to learn, and ways you want to grow outside of work.
Competitive salaries. We believe in compensating our team fairly with salaries benchmarked to the market.
Health and wellness support. Access to EAP (Employee Assistance Program) and wellness resources.
Epic social events. Offsite hiking through beautiful Australian landscapes, bouldering, studio pottery, end-of-year celebrations, and much more.
A great, decked-out office! An inclusive community and culture in a welcoming Marrickville office with lasers, cutting-edge hardware, snacks, and actual tech you can tinker with (within the bounds of safety).
Our Values
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:
Move at Lightspeed — We test, iterate, and ship fast. Speed is a feature.
Physics Over Precedent — The only limits we accept are the laws of physics. We challenge every assumption and reason from first principles, not from "how it's always been done."
Design THE Network — We're here to build the largest energy infrastructure the world has ever seen. We never forget the need to scale, connect, and think holistically about our product design.
Care Deeply, Own Fully — We operate with a founder mindset where every person drives real business outcomes with empathy and accountability. No "I handed it off" excuses. We see things through.
Laser Set to Max — We embrace intelligent risk-taking and celebrate productive failures that generate real knowledge. We take calculated risks to push the frontier forward.
Ready to Build the Future?
At Aquila, we shape roles around exceptional people. If the mission excites you but you don't tick every box on a role, apply anyway. We'd love to hear from you.
Aquila welcomes applicants from all backgrounds and has around 40% female representation on our team (which for deep tech is better than most!). Join our team and help us build an infinitely scalable energy network that powers a more abundant, limitless, and sustainable future.
