We’re Drytong, a Cape Town-born startup with a bold mission: to make homes 100% water self-sufficient. Our game-changing device will eliminate water bills and protect people from shortages and restrictions. We’re shaking up an industry that hasn’t changed much in 300 years – and it’s all happening right here in South Africa. We’re not just dreaming big – we’re building big. And to do that, we need you. We’re looking for our first hire – a hands-on, inventive, and driven Mechatronics Engineer to help us build and optimize the first working prototype of our device. If you’ve been looking for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a startup with global ambitions, this is it. You’ll work side by side with our experienced Founder & CEO and have the kind of growth and responsibility you’d never get in a big corporate company.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Set up and organize our workshop.
- Research and choose the best technologies for our device.
- Design and build the system with its mechanical, electrical and software components.
- Optimize our prototype.
- Test it, troubleshoot it, make it better.
- Work on new ideas, innovations, and R&D projects to keep us ahead of the game.
What We’re Looking For
- Degree : Don’t sweat it !
- At least 3 years of experience (bonus if it’s in the water sector)
- CAD and programming skills
- Someone who’s resourceful, practical, and loves rolling up their sleeves.
- A problem-solver who’s ready to tackle challenges head-on
What’s In It For You?
- Location : Cape Town
- Employment type : Full time
- Salary : R400K – R600K CTC + Shares
This isn’t just a job – it’s an adventure to shape the future of water technology.
