Internship - Motor Control Team (6 Months)

**Intership - Motor Controls Team**

Turntide Technologies is helping turn the tide on climate change with a revolutionary platform for sustainable operations that drives down energy consumption and operating costs in buildings, agriculture, and electric transport. Our patented hardware and intelligent software are revolutionizing the $100 billion electric motor industry with a new platform so efficient, reliable, and adaptable that it reduces energy use by more than half. Our larger mission is to replace all the world's motors with intelligent, optimal-efficiency systems so every watt is worthwhile for humanity. We're looking for curious, intelligent, collaborative people from diverse backgrounds who want to make a real impact on the sustainability of our planet.

In 2021 Turntide acquired three North East businesses to establish our presence in the UK - those businesses were Borg Warner in Gateshead, Hyperdrive in Sunderland and Avid in Cramlington. The acquisitions allowed us to extend our Smart Motor System to the transportation sector and help turn the tide on climate change.

There is a massive change happening across Transportation. Companies are working furiously to develop new electrified platforms to meet the demands of their customers and do their part to reduce carbon emissions. Our Turntide for Electrification solutions help ease the customer journey and accelerate their transition. The faster they can transform, the better it is for our planet.
