About ALSO. We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient. Also is looking for a Staff Electrical Test Engineer, Test and Validation to help us develop electronics systems for multiple micro-mobility platforms. What You Will Do
- Play a key role within the EE Design and Validation teams by strategizing, developing, and executing comprehensive EE module validation plans to ensure high performance, quality, and product reliability.
- Translate electrical design requirements and schematics into detailed test strategies, verification matrixes, and validation coverage plans.
- Specify, design, and build automated benchtop test setups and validation equipment for PCBAs, modules, and full system architectures.
- Work with cross-functional design teams, silicon vendors, and external test labs to align on validation criteria, test coverage, and industry standards.
- Design custom load boards, breakout fixtures, and measurement interfaces for repeatable, high-precision signal and power measurements. Select critical instruments and components for validation test benches.
- Perform hands-on electrical characterization, debug design anomalies, and execute root-cause analysis on early-stage prototypes and validation failures.
- Drive continuous optimization of validation test suites to improve test coverage, measurement accuracy, and execution efficiency.
- Author formal validation plans, design verification reports (DVRs), and standardized test execution procedures.
- Partner with hardware design engineers during early architectural stages to drive Design for Testability (DFT) and Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
- Implement automated data logging and statistical analysis to evaluate component margins, stress limits, and parameter drift across environmental conditions.
- Conduct failure analysis and issue root-cause corrective action (RCCA) reports for validation, qualification, or field-returned failures.
- Act as the primary technical contact for electrical validation status across design engineering and system integration teams.
- Present validation progress, risk assessments, and test coverage metrics in program reviews and leadership meetings.
- Proven track record (5+ years) of planning and executing robust EE module design verification (DVT) and validation programs from prototype stage to production release.
- Proven track record (5+ years) of characterizing complex electronic systems, with a strong passion for hardware debugging, technical innovation, and continuous learning.
- In-depth knowledge of analog, digital, power electronics (bonus if familiar with high-speed signals, and RF characterization method).
- Hands-on expertise with high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, spectrum/vector network analyzers, power supplies, DAQs, and automated test instrumentation.
- Strong proficiency in test automation languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, LabVIEW, C/C++) for controlling instrumentation and automated data analysis.
- Experience with PCBA bring-up, schematic review, high-density rework/soldering, and board-level failure analysis.
- Deep familiarity with hardware reliability, environmental qualification, and stress testing (e.g., HALT, HASS, thermal cycling, ESD/EMC compliance).
- Ability to collaborate effectively in fast-paced, cross-functional, and global engineering teams.
- Excellent technical writing, data presentation, and communication skills.
- Prior experience in automotive, consumer electronics, or aerospace industries is a strong plus.
- Robust health coverage — excellent health, dental, and vision insurance covered up to 100% by ALSO, with FSA & HSA options
