  • Have a track record of successful early stage product development in relevant fields such as robotics, EV charging, electric HD trucks, grid-tied assets
  • Have experience building and leading diverse, healthy, high-performance engineering teams
  • Have excellent understanding of engineering fundamentals in mechanical, electrical or related engineering fields
  • Think clearly about technical risks and prioritized de-risking strategies
  • Think creatively and opportunistically to solve unusually hard problems efficiently
  • Communicate effectively to share learnings and make clear group decisions
  • Thrive in a nimble, small-team environment with significant individual autonomy
  • Value diverse ideas, backgrounds, and problem-solving strategies
  • Display leadership qualities that align with Teal organizational values

Jaro Fleet Technologies exists to accelerate the widespread adoption of electric semi-trucks. Founded by an experienced electric vehicle expert (Apple SPG, 3 startups, MIT, Stanford) and well-capitalized by top-tier venture capital firms, Jaro Fleet Technologies is developing a breakthrough charging technology and highly-scalable customer acquisition model to rapidly electrify the fastest growing segment of US freight trucking.

Freight trucking is responsible for 3X more emissions than all other commercial vehicle types combined in the US, and has demonstrated very rapid customer adoption once unit economics are proven. Jaro seeks to deliver a critical enabling technology for this industry to electrify.

Working at Jaro means not only tackling this enormous source of greenhouse gas emissions and urban air pollution, but also redefining how climate startups treat their employees.
