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. As a Staff Firmware Engineer at ALSO, you'll own wireless bring-up, IoT features, and over-the-air updates while partnering across hardware, cloud, and mobile teams to build end-to-end connected systems. You'll write mission-critical firmware, optimize for low-power operation, and implement security protocols that keep ALSO's devices safe and reliable. You'll also help shape how the team works — building CI/CD pipelines, championing automation, and collaborating with QA to ship robust, well-tested code.
