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 Electrical Engineer, Vehicle Architecture (Multiple Levels) to drive the electrical architecture of our micro-mobility platforms, covering power distribution, energy storage, compute, sensors, lighting, safety systems, and connectivity. You'll establish vehicle block diagrams, interfaces, and design standards that enable modularity and reuse across vehicle lines, providing technical direction to systems, electrical, firmware, and cable harness teams while balancing performance, cost, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

In this role, you'll stay ahead of emerging technologies in batteries, connectivity, sensors, and multimedia to shape future product roadmaps, and driving continuous improvement in efficiency, safety, and user experience from concept through production.

What You'll Do

- Drive electrical architecture of micro-mobility platforms, including power distribution, energy storage, compute, sensors, lighting, safety systems, and connectivity modules

- Establish vehicle block diagrams, interfaces, and design standards that enable modularity and reuse across vehicle lines

- Evaluate trade-offs between performance, cost, reliability, and regulatory compliance in system design

- Provide technical direction to systems, electrical, firmware, and cable harness teams

- Drive design for manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, and safety from concept to production

- Lead design reviews and ensure architecture compliance through the product lifecycle

- Partner with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing engineering to integrate electrical systems into various vehicle platforms

- Collaborate with suppliers and technology partners to evaluate and qualify new components and subsystems, and work with product management to align architecture with business and market requirements

- Stay current on emerging technologies in batteries, connectivity, sensors, and multimedia systems, and integrate them into future product roadmaps

- Benchmark competitive products, drive continuous improvement in efficiency, safety, and user experience, and provide status updates in program meetings and to leadership

What You'll Bring

- 8+ years of experience in electrical system design for micro-mobility, automotive, robotics, or related industries, with a proven track record architecting complex electrical systems from concept to production

- Excellent system-level thinking and ability to balance technical trade-offs

- Strong background in low (<60V) and high voltage (<1kV) electrical systems

- Deep understanding of actuation systems, battery management systems, charging systems, and energy storage technologies (UL 2272)

- Familiarity with functional safety (UL 2271, ISO 4210, ISO 26262) and EMC/EMI compliance (FCC Part 15 and other relevant standards)

- Experience with vehicle communication networks (CAN/CAN-FD, Ethernet, LIN, BLE, LTE/eRedCap)

- Knowledge of system modeling, simulation, and requirements management tools

- Strong leadership, mentoring, and influencing skills across disciplines

- Outstanding communication and documentation skills

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field

The salary for this position ranges from $200,000 - $280,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, and location.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
