Staff Mechanical Engineer, Structures

$200k - $240k
Full-time

ALSO.

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 an exceptional mechanical engineer that will be responsible for drivetrain structure design engineering.

What You Will Do

  • Design and 3D modeling of mechanical components and assemblies including high pressure die casting, gravity casting, injection molded plastics, sheet metal, fasteners, etc.
  • Create drawing packages and manufacturing instructions for parts and assemblies.
  • Execute a design verification process and report (DVP&R) to validate requirements.
  • Topology optimization, blending strength and NVH objectives to help identify necessary ribbing structure within the available package space to meet structural and NVH constraints.
  • Sealing analysis with expertise in component hyper-elastic analysis
  • NVH analysis (modal, frequency response, mount mobility)
  • Linear static stress analyses for complete drive unit systems
  • Develop and maintain program-specific design failure mode and effects analyses (DFMEAs).
  • Coordinate validation efforts between Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers
  • Collaborate with other mechanical, electrical, control, manufacturing, and test engineers to take designs from a clean sheet through prototypes and into mass production.
  • Assist hands-on in engineering prototype builds and component fabrication.

What You Will Bring

  • Experience with high volume manufacturing processes such as injection molding, stamping, etc.
  • Proficiency in 3D/2D modeling tools (Catia V5/V6 preferred but not required)
  • Proficiency in hands-on mechanical integration, assembly, troubleshooting and documentation of mechanical and electromechanical systems.
  • Proficiency with CAE analysis software package like Ansys, Abaqus, Hyperwork, or similar
  • Proficiency with understanding boundary conditions and their application on various drive unit components to capture realistic interactions.
  • Experience with Matlab and/or Python.
  • Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and tolerance stack-up analyses
  • Proficiency with understanding loads and their applications on various drive unit components
  • Strong fundamental knowledge of material properties, heat treatment
  • Strong fundamental knowledge of statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials

The salary for this position ranges from $200,000 - $240,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.

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.

Perks And Benefits

  • Robust health coverage. Excellent health, dental and vision insurance covered up to 100% by ALSO with FSA & HSA options.
  • One Medical membership and dedicated insurance advocates.
  • Rich fertility and family building benefits with Progyny.
  • Flexible time off.
  • 401(k) match.
