- 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.
- In this role, you will play a large role in platform-level firmware development, being a key contributor to the foundational software layers that enable all vehicle products—including drivers, real time operating system integration, and build infrastructure. You will own the end to end design, development, and test of critical embedded software and tooling that supports the full scope of ALSO’s products. You will also drive architectural decisions for the firmware platform and build systems, enabling teams to efficiently develop, test, and deploy firmware across the product portfolio.
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 7+ years of experience in firmware development, ideally experienced in safety critical, time sensitive, and resource constrained environments
- Previous experience as Software Architect, familiar with attributes that make code portable, maintainable and scalable
- Expert in C programming, ideally familiar with C++, Python, and bash scripting
- Delivering software-enabled hardware products, including low-level firmware development (drivers, bootloaders)
- Hands-on experience debugging in real world environments with embedded diagnostics tooling such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG etc.
- Strong understanding of control systems and system integration
- Familiarity with electric drivetrains, battery technology, and common vehicle communication protocols and peripherals (e.g. ADC, CAN, force, IMU sensors)
- Familiarity with model-based design and software development tools such as MATLAB/Simulink
- Familiarity with real-time operating system platforms, ideally in functional-safety critical applications
- Familiarity with static analysis and linting tools to ensure software quality and correctness
- Experience with CI/CD & test automation applied to consumer facing, software-enabled hardware products
- Highly collaborative mindset and strong communication skills
- The salary for this position ranges from $210,000 to $245,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
- 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.
