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 a Battery Controls Engineer to play a pivotal role in developing battery management system algorithms for our vehicles.
What You'll Do
Design and develop control algorithms for battery management systems (BMS), including thermal management, charging, and power distribution.
Develop and validate physics or data based battery state estimation algorithms (SOC, SOH, SOF).
Design and implement control and protection strategies (OV/UV, OC, cell balancing, thermal limits).
Build and validate system models in MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow for control development and verification.
Generate production-quality embedded code for deployment on microcontrollers.
Support model-based development workflows, including MIL, SIL, and HIL testing and validation.
Integrate BMS control algorithms into system architecture, ensuring compliance with safety and certification requirements.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Systems, EE, Battery Cell Engineering, Firmware) to deliver robust and timely solutions.
Analyze field data to refine predictive models for battery degradation and performance over time.
What You'll Bring
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
Solid understanding of battery systems, including SOC/SOH estimation and cell balancing techniques.
Working knowledge of current types of Lithium Ion chemistries, typical chemical, electrochemical degradation mechanisms
Understanding of battery sensing, high-voltage systems, and BMS architecture.
Knowledge of control theory and state estimation methods (e.g., Kalman filtering).
Familiarity with BMS functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262).
Strong experience with MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow and model-based development.
Familiarity with C/C++ for embedded systems.
Experience with embedded code generation (Simulink Coder / Embedded Coder).
Experience with Vector tools (CANalyzer, CANape, CANoe).
Location: This is an onsite position requiring attendance in the office five (5) days per week. Once fully ramped and in alignment with their manager, employees may have the opportunity for limited flexibility, including the potential to work remotely one day per week, based on business and team needs.
The salary for this position ranges from $220,000 to $260,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
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

We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company on a mission to build the world’s best small vehicles for moving people and goods, driven and autonomous. Originally incubated within Rivian, we’re rethinking transportation from first principles to create a new generation of smaller, smarter, and more connected electric vehicles.
Our team combines automotive rigor with advanced software, autonomy, sensing, and vertically integrated EV technologies to build products designed around the realities of modern mobility. We believe small vehicles are not a niche category, but a foundational shift in how people, goods, and communities will move through the world in the decades ahead.
At ALSO, details matter. We’re builders, technologists, designers, and dreamers who care deeply about craft, innovation, and the everyday experiences our products create. Because movement is more than transportation—it’s connection, culture, freedom, and collective impact.
We’re building that future now.
