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.

Support definition and realization of KPI’s to drive product use metrics.
Supporting vehicle integration and measurement equipment setup, configuration, and operation.
Drive testing at vehicle level for software features, performance, functionality, and stability.
Drive traceability and directly support defect triage and management.
Support planning and execution of vehicle tests to identify and align to homologation topics.
What You Will Bring
BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or related field
5+ years of professional experience in systems test engineering, vehicle testing, or vehicle durability testing.
Experience with instrumentation and data collection. E.g. accelerometers, strain gauges, force transducers, fleet ops, data logging equipment and signal conditioning
Core understanding of systems engineering processes and methods.
Experience with testing vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and high temperature and humidity, corrosion tests
Experience with homologation, and durability testing.
Requirements management tools such as JAMA.
Planning and organization tools (JIRA/Confluence)
Working knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, CAN FD, SPI) and Vector tools
Comfortable riding 2 wheeled vehicles of various speed and power levels
Location: This is an onsite position requiring attendance in the office five (5) days per week. Once fully ramped and in alignment with their manager, employees may have the opportunity for limited flexibility, including the potential to work remotely one day per week, based on business and team needs.
The salary for this position ranges from $190,000 to $225,000 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
One Medical membership and dedicated insurance advocates
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.
