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.

What You Will Do

  • Own the top-level CAD assembly of a very light four-wheeled vehicle platform, with a strong emphasis on occupant packaging, ergonomics, and integration of key sub-systems.
  • Strong technical background in body structures, applying fundamentals of beams, columns and panels to automotive or motorcycle manufacturing methods.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical and electrical engineers, as well as industrial design, to identify and resolve packaging and interface issues.
  • Facilitate cross-functional alignment through design reviews, clash management, and packaging trade-offs, with a system-level view that balances performance, manufacturability, and ergonomics.
  • Drive system integration workflows and timelines, introducing structured and repeatable processes into a fast-moving startup environment.
  • Support the transition from prototype to production through well-organized documentation and coordination with manufacturing and supply chain teams.

What You Will Bring

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • 7+ years of experience in mechanical design and system integration, preferably within vehicle platforms such as automotive, ATV, UTV, etc..
  • Expert in 3D CAD (preferably CATIA), with a proven ability to manage complex, top-level assemblies including occupant environments and structural systems.
  • Proficient in PLM systems and workflows; able to define and manage part structures and release processes.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and integrating major vehicle sub-systems while balancing requirements of A-class surfaces.
  • Strong understanding of multi-domain trade-offs in vehicle packaging.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional integration efforts, ideally having brought one or more complex platforms through launch.

The salary for this position ranges from $250,000 to $291,000 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.
