Meet Sophie Palmer (and Otis), Mechanical Design Engineer at Proterra! Tell us about you background and where did you grow up? I was born and spent a significant part of my childhood in Germany, before moving outside of Boston where my mom's family is from. I studied mechanical engineering (modified with studio art!) at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH where I quickly learned how much I love the challenge of building technical skills while also taking courses in studio art and the liberal arts. This mix of humanities to understand the global needs of our generation and technical problem solving felt like a really great foundation moving into my first job! What do you enjoy most about your role at Proterra? Ever since I started at Proterra, I've felt extremely grateful for the freedom and responsibility my team gives me. As a mechanical design engineer, I get to make a tangible impact on not only our product, but also the clean transportation industry. What motivated you to join the clean transportation industry? I originally joined Proterra as an avid public transportation fan. Growing up in Germany, I learned to use public transit over car travel and as an adult learned to appreciate its power to reduce pollution. Electrification of public transit and the heavy duty industry is another critical step towards reducing the damage of today's climate crisis.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Fourth of July! 📍 Proterra's Battery Manufacturing Facility in Greer, South Carolina

Proterra is powering the shift to zero-emission ports! This week, our team had the honor of joining our partners Taylor Machine Works, Inc. at the Port of Los Angeles Yusen Terminals LLC in celebrating the first commercial battery-electric container handlers put into operation in the United States. Powered by Proterra battery technology, these Taylor Machine Works, Inc. battery-electric machines will replace five diesel-fueled container handlers at the Port of Los Angeles - cutting air pollution in the region while aligning with the Port's goal of moving all cargo handling equipment on its terminals to zero emissions by 2030.

Meet Ajinkya Joshi, Senior Safety and Reliability Engineer at Proterra! Tell us about your background and where you grew up. I grew up in Nasik, a city in the state of Maharashtra, India. I pursued my Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at University of Texas at Arlington, which laid a solid foundation for my technical skills and knowledge. What do you enjoy most about your role at Proterra? What I enjoy most about my role at Proterra is the freedom and responsibility to explore different ways to push the boundaries of battery technology. This involves rigorous testing and innovative problem-solving to ensure our batteries are safe and reliable. It is also great knowing that our efforts contribute to creating more robust and dependable solutions for the transportation industry. What motivated you to join the clean transportation industry? Climate change has always been an important cause for me. Growing up, I witnessed the environmental impacts of traditional transportation methods and felt a strong urge to be part of the solution. My passion for everything automotive made the clean transportation industry a perfect fit. What is your favorite thing to do outside of work? Outside of work, I have a diverse range of interests. I love traveling and exploring new places, and cooking. Additionally, I am an avid sports fan and love watching soccer and Formula 1 racing. #EmployeeSpotlight #PoweredbyProterra #EV #Emobility #Electrification #Battery #CleanTechnology
