О компании
- 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 seeking a Drive Unit Test Technician! You'll play a hands-on role in advancing next-generation rotating equipment and drive systems. In this fast-paced lab environment, you will perform detailed inspections, install and test drive units on dynamometers, and work closely with engineers to validate performance, reliability, and durability. You will help troubleshoot complex electromechanical challenges, build and modify test fixtures, and maintain a high level of organization and safety in the lab. If you are a mechanically skilled, detail-oriented problem solver with a passion for hands-on engineering work, and are open to supporting testing operations in the Bay Area, this role offers the opportunity to directly influence cutting-edge product development.
