About the Role

ALSO is looking for a Staff Field Integration and Quality Engineer to lead the integration of drive units, batteries, inverters, displays, and various low voltage electronics.

What You'll Do

  • Assist in the new product introduction of new products and platforms, presenting findings to engineering teams and leadership to drive resolution
  • Perform hands-on troubleshooting using proprietary CAN tools — reproduce faults, pull logs, decode DTCs, run isolation tests, identify root cause (HW vs FW vs calibration vs harness), and validate fixes with structured re-tests
  • Support pilot and fleet running, including prepping vehicles for pilots, commissioning telematics, and closing the loop with field ops on uptime
  • Maintain and update fleet firmware using OTA updates, and maintain and update service troubleshooting manuals based on new learnings
  • Work with service partners to gather additional insight into field failures, and travel to customer locations to gather insight on failure modes
  • Stand up processes to review incoming telemetry data to gather trends on product health and reliability, estimate component repair/replacement needs and costs, and drive design and diagnostic changes based on real-world data
  • Build clear data visualization tools and dashboards to support telemetry data ingest
  • Process field return parts to determine root cause using 8D
  • Train technicians and service professionals on service tools and new processes

What You'll Bring

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • 5+ years of professional experience with embedded systems, including 3+ years working on new product introduction
  • Hands-on electronics and HV awareness, comfortable working around systems up to 100V+ (per local regs) using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, insulation testers, CAN analyzers, and HV PPE
  • Working knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, CAN FD, SPI) and Vector tools
  • Exposure to service tools and cloud services, with basic SQL and Python skills to process data
  • Familiarity with planning and organization tools such as JIRA/Confluence
  • Ability to define and request new features on the vehicle and in the cloud to support engineering needs
  • Powertrain and charging basics, including BMS fundamentals (cell balancing, SoC/SoH), motor/inverter concepts (FOC, torque limits, derates), charger protocols, and safety interlocks for swap and plug-in charging
  • Test discipline: following DVP&R, writing reproducible test cases, maintaining clear logs, tagging firmware/hardware revisions, and tracing faults through to fix and verification
  • Comfortable traveling up to 50% of the time to support cross-functional collaboration, site visits, and business priorities

Pay

The salary for this position ranges from $200,000 - $220,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, and location.

Perks & Benefits

  • Robust health coverage — excellent health, dental and vision insurance covered up to 100% by ALSO with FSA & HSA options
  • One Medical membership and dedicated insurance advocates
  • Rich fertility and family building benefits with Progyny
  • Flexible time off
  • 401(k) match
