  • 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.

The salary for this position ranges from $160,000 to $210,000 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.
