Battery Design Engineer

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.

We’re looking for Battery Design Engineers (all levels) to architect and build highly integrated electromechanical hardware for micro-mobility battery systems. This is a high ownership engineering role spanning the full product lifecycle: you will own hardware from initial concept and prototyping through production launch, ensuring high levels of performance, reliability and safety. You will own the integration of structural, thermal, electrical, manufacturing, and packaging requirements into a cohesive battery system that can be built reliably at scale.

You should be equally comfortable working through first-principles architecture decisions, detailed CAD and drawing release work, prototype builds, manufacturing problem-solving, and supplier collaboration.

What You Will Do

- Own complex battery subassemblies or full systems (depending on level) from concept to prototype, validation, and production launch

- Design and integrate battery pack hardware including enclosures, busbars, cooling systems, PCBAs, connectors, HV interfaces, and structural components — balancing thermal, structural, electrical, manufacturing, and packaging constraints simultaneously.

- Own top-level assemblies, tolerance strategy, 2D drawings, and engineering release of complex 3D assemblies

- Rapidly down-select concepts through first-principles analysis,hands-on prototyping, and tight test-iterate loops. Comfortable moving from early mockups to production...
