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.

In this role, you will be a member of ALSO's Technical Program Management team, responsible for driving all firmware/embedded software developments internally and external. You will partner with product, hardware and software engineering, and other cross-functional teams to drive software development in hardware products as well as integrate them into Also’s backend systems. This role will require deep collaboration from an end-to-end software perspective, and aligning it to ALSO's hardware product roadmap.

What You Will Do

  • As a Technical Program Manager at ALSO, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary software projects from start to finish, managing multiple critical software workstreams from embedded software development, controls, and connectivity.
  • You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company.
  • You will work with a team of software and hardware engineers on multiple high-visibility consumer-facing products.
  • Drive the planning and implementation of program and features with the cross-functional teams to hit roadmap goals, tracking progress, analyzing risks, resolve execution issues and communicating status.
  • Develop and manage program schedules, technical issues, release management and resource needs with engineering and cross-functional teams.
  • Manage communication of progress/status with stakeholders and leadership in various locations and time zones, own and nurture relationships between cross-functional teams
  • Implement process improvements to streamline product development and continuously manage risks.

What You Will Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering field
  • 7+ years of experience in program management, engineering or similar cross-functional role
  • Track record of launching consumer electronics, IoT devices, vehicles, and/or other similar hardware/software devices from concept to production. Bonus points if you’ve built plans and workflows in a new organization on 1st generation products.
  • Experience managing embedded device hardware/software releases and integration into back-end software systems.
  • Proficiency with bug/task tracking software tools, especially Jira.
  • Ability to adapt processes to the team composition and be time-efficient with planning and status reporting.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in working with cross-functional hardware & software teams - ability to see forrest from trees
  • Highly collaborative mindset and strong communication skills
  • Ability to distill multivariable problems to clear decisions and actions to move forward.

The salary for this position ranges from $180,000 to $215,000 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.
