Working at
KiteX

At KiteX, we're revolutionising energy with innovative wind turbines inspired by kites. Our mission? To make wind turbines that use significantly less material, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional turbines. Our journey began by envisioning wind turbines that combine the efficiency of kites and autonomy of drones. On this path we found an hybrid design with guy wire supported tower and blades could achieve almost the same material savings, but without any of the disadvantages. Our unique approach centres on patience, refining technology step by step, and focusing on sustainable solutions. We're scaling up production of the groundbreaking Wind Catcher, a portable off-grid turbine, while designing a larger, grid-connected successor. As we grow, we're seeking exceptional team members in marketing, customer support, technical, and electrical engineering. KiteX isn't just a workplace; it's an opportunity to drive clean energy and make history. Join us in shaping a sustainable future. Contact us through the hub or at info@kitex.tech to be part of something extraordinary.
