About the job
About ALSO: We are a forward-thinking electric mobility company born from Rivian, driven by a collective passion for innovation. Our dedicated team of builders and visionaries is committed to crafting entirely new, vertically integrated, small electric vehicles (EVs) that address the mobility challenges of both today and the future. Our mission is to encourage the world to embrace ALSO, transforming local transport by replacing traditional vehicles with more affordable, enjoyable, and significantly efficient options.
We are in search of a Senior Staff Electrical Engineer, High Speed Design to spearhead the development of cutting-edge electronic systems for diverse micro-mobility platforms.
Key Responsibilities:
Act as the technical lead and hardware architect for a multidisciplinary engineering team focused on developing the next generation of light electric vehicle products.
Design and architect complex custom embedded systems, overseeing component selection (high-performance MCUs, ICs, power converter controllers), schematic capture, and intricate HDI PCB layouts.
Conduct simulations, analyses, and validations for high-speed signal integrity and power integrity, designing optimal PCB stack-ups and power delivery networks to support high-performance computing.
Lead strategies for EMI/EMC mitigation at the system level, ensuring hardware meets regulatory standards on the first attempt and managing complex debugging efforts for any emissions issues.
Oversee the entire module development lifecycle, establishing best practices for design and validation phases within the V-model development process.
Collaborate with Systems, Firmware, Mechanical, Thermal, and Test engineers to ensure high reliability, seamless system integration, robust physical packaging of high-density boards, optimal thermal management, and thorough testability for mass production.
Lead root cause analysis, complex debugging, and failure analysis of critical electrical systems and high-speed subsystems in vehicles.
Cultivate technical relationships with PCB fabricators, silicon vendors, and contract manufacturers to evaluate cutting-edge components, ensure HDI DFM/DFA, and qualify advanced manufacturing processes.
Act as a force multiplier for the hardware team by mentoring junior and mid-level engineers, leading technical design reviews, and enhancing engineering efficiency across the organization.
