tesa is looking to add a Product Developer to our team!

An electric vehicle (EV) battery must hold a large amount of energy to ensure consumers can drive as fast and as far as they need. However, storing this amount of energy in such a confined space comes with dielectric and thermal protection challenges. Our adhesive solutions can help optimize battery safety, performance, and capacity. We also consistently develop new products, in cooperation with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers, to accommodate changing requirements in the electric and hybrid vehicle market. We need you to help create these products!
