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.

ALSO is looking for an exceptional mechanical engineer that will be responsible for drivetrain structure design engineering.

What You Will Do

- Design and 3D modeling of mechanical components and assemblies including high pressure die casting, gravity casting, injection molded plastics, sheet metal, fasteners, etc.

- Create drawing packages and manufacturing instructions for parts and assemblies.

- Execute a design verification process and report (DVP&R) to validate requirements.

- Topology optimization, blending strength and NVH objectives to help identify necessary ribbing structure within the available package space to meet structural and NVH constraints.

- Sealing analysis with expertise in component hyper-elastic analysis

- NVH analysis (modal, frequency response, mount mobility)

- Linear static stress analyses for complete drive unit systems

- Develop and maintain program-specific design failure mode and effects analyses (DFMEAs).

- Coordinate validation efforts between Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers

- Collaborate with other mechanical, electrical, control, manufacturing, and test engineers to take designs from a clean sheet through prototypes and into mass production.

- Assist hands-on in engineering prototype builds and component fabrication.
