Staff Control Platform and Verification Engineer

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 Software Engineer in Test, Controls, you will serve as the developer infrastructure and test support engineer for the Controls team. You will define, build, and execute test strategies spanning software, hardware, and simulation environments, including MIL, SIL, HIL, and vehicle tests, while owning the CI/CD pipelines and test frameworks controls engineers rely on daily. You'll validate embedded systems and propulsion control modules, perform defect triage, and conduct system root-cause analysis, with a strong emphasis on Simulink/Stateflow model understanding and generated C code.
