XT Stories | Meet Lieze Mari Van Tonder, Mechanical Design Engineer at Xerotech

In this episode of XT Stories, meet Lieze Mari Van Tonder (Liz), a Mechanical Design Engineer who moved from South Africa to Ireland in pursuit of new challenges. After studying engineering at the University of Pretoria, Liz now designs next-generation battery solutions at Xerotech. She shares her experiences working with a team that feels like family while pushing the boundaries of battery technology.

I worked alongside Eleni Kalantzi as the planner, filming, and editing this video to capture Liz’s inspiring journey. Outside of work, Liz balances her time by learning new hobbies, playing guitar, and joining soccer for the first time. Passionate about making an impact, she’s excited to be part of Xerotech’s innovative drive in electrification.
