Job Description

About Voltera Voltera empowers educators, researchers, and engineers asking questions about, and building, the technologies of tomorrow — by giving them the tools they need to design, test, develop, and ship products faster than ever before.
Our flagship product, the Voltera V-One, is a desktop circuit board factory that allows educators to introduce the world of printable electronics to young minds, researchers to answer new and old questions, and electronics engineers to cut their prototype time from months to minutes. We’re consistently among the top growing companies in Canada and our machines are used by 2000+ electronics educators, researchers and developers in over 60 countries around the world.
