Develop and maintain system architectures for distributed embedded controllers, including:
Interface definitions and communication protocols
Functional decomposition and allocation
Fault detection, fault handling, and system-level robustness
Collaborate closely with software engineers, electrical engineers, product designers, product managers, and UI/UX teams to drive CONOPS, activity diagrams, feature design, development, and validation.
Develop state machines such as for power states for the platform
Support end-to-end feature validation, contributing to the definition and execution of test cases and test plans across:
Bench and HIL testing
Vehicle-level bring-up
System integration and performance validation
What You Will Bring
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or related field
8+ years of professional experience in systems engineering or embedded software development
Understanding of Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS)
Experience working with embedded systems
Extensive knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, CAN FD, SPI)
Requirements management tools such as JAMA, or Polarion and using model based systems engineering
The salary for this position ranges from $200,000-$250,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
Perks & Benefits
Robust health coverage — excellent health, dental, and vision insurance covered up to 100% by ALSO, with FSA & HSA options

Rich fertility and family-building benefits with Progyny
Flexible time off
401(k) match
Why ALSO.
We’re passionate about helping the world find a better way to get there—wherever it is you’re headed.
We’re located in the heart of Silicon Valley and have brought together a world-class team from some of the biggest brands in the technology, automotive, cycling, outdoor recreation and retail spaces.
Together we’re working hands-on to imagine, design and build an entirely new solution to a global set of transportation challenges.
