Agricultural greenhouses are key toward a sustainable food supply, however they have significant energetic needs due to heating and artificial lightening. There is a push from governments, retailers and consumers to reduce carbon footprint of greenhouses. Voltiris enables double-use of large greenhouses surfaces to produce electricity without impacting their high agricultural yield. Voltiris introduces a solar panel design to generate electricity from the part of sunlight's spectrum that is unused for crop growth.

Pros: I've appreciated the opportunity to work on cutting-edge solar technology projects. The team is composed of knowledgeable and passionate individuals, and there's a strong sense of purpose driving our work in the green energy transition. The hybrid work model offers good flexibility for managing personal commitments while staying productive.
Cons: While the company offers excellent learning opportunities, there's room for improvement in structured career progression pathways. Sometimes, project timelines can become quite demanding, leading to periods of intense workload. More consistent communication from leadership on long-term strategic goals would also be beneficial.
Advice to Management: Focus on creating clearer career development paths and enhancing transparent communication about company strategy to further boost employee engagement and long-term retention.

Pros: I really liked working on the innovative agritech projects; using solar technology for sustainable agriculture was genuinely cool. The team in the Zurich office was generally smart and dedicated, making it a good learning experience for an engineer.
Cons: Job security for engineering roles wasn't great; there was a lot of uncertainty about the future of some projects. You definitely feel the ups and downs of an early-stage company, which can make your role feel less stable.
Advice to Management: Try to be more transparent about the company's financial health and future plans. It would really help ease concerns about job security, especially for those of us in technical roles within this fast-moving agritech space.
