Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will lead the manufacturing test station and firmware team to design, build, and maintain the software infrastructure for vehicle integration testing. This includes managing the test station software stack, defining firmware interfaces, and collaborating with contract manufacturers to ensure production quality.
Candidates must have 6+ years of experience in manufacturing test systems or production software and possess strong proficiency in Python. A degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science is required, along with the ability to travel internationally for factory deployments.
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 hiring a Senior Staff Software Engineer, Manufacturing Software, to lead our vehicle integration test station infrastructure, interface with systems like firmware and the data platform, and build and lead our Manufacturing Test Station & Firmware team. This new team will own the software infrastructure required to build, validate, certify, update, and sustain products across our global manufacturing network, serving as the bridge between Product Firmware, Validation & Tools Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Operations, suppliers, and contract manufacturers.
This is a technical leadership role for someone who enjoys solving complex system-level problems and working directly with manufacturing partners. You'll lead a small team of test station and firmware engineers while staying deeply involved in technical execution. It's a systems-first, factory-floor-up role: your mental model is the operator at the line, the test sequence running against a unit, and the data coming out the other side, along with everything that has to be designed, secured, and maintained to make that reliable at volume.
Design, build, and own the test station software stack: operator-facing UI, test sequence orchestration, hardware instrument control, and data logging
Translate EE-defined test procedures into automated, repeatable test sequences that factory operators can run with confidence
Define the interface contract between test stations and the production firmware image — what test modes the FW team must expose, what data the station needs, what the station can and cannot do
Design robust firmware update and recovery processes for production environments.
Own device provisioning, certification, and security workflows at the factory: secure boot verification, key provisioning, certificate injection, serial number assignment, and factory configuration locking
Partner with our contract manufacturers in Asia to deploy test stations, qualify the line, and debug production issues on the floor
Travel extensively - currently to Taiwan and Asia, as you'll be there regularly during NPI and ramp for new vehicle programs.
Establish test data pipelines, yield tracking, and reporting infrastructure, including statistical analysis, that gives the product and operations teams clear visibility into line health and process control
Drive continuous improvement in test throughput, coverage, and first-pass yield using data you've collected and analyzed yourself
Define the interface contract with the firmware team: what test modes and diagnostic hooks the production FW image need to expose, and validate that they work correctly. Ideal candidates have sufficient embedded firmware expertise to submit direct changes as necessary to get unblocked.
BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
6+ years in manufacturing test systems, ATE, or production software, having built and shipped test stations that ran in production at volume
Fluency in Python (or equivalent scripting language) as your primary tool for test automation, instrument control, and data processing
Experience with the full factory test lifecycle: DFT analysis, ICT/FCT development, EOL sequence design, fixture collaboration, and sustaining
Applied statistical analysis of factory test data, working the numbers yourself to drive process decisions
Strong systems design instincts, with the ability to architect a test station framework that scales across multiple products and sites, viewing ALSO's manufacturing network as a systems design problem
Ability to translate EE-defined test procedures into precise, automatable test requirements, owning the requirements document, not just the implementation
Direct, on-site experience working with contract manufacturers, having managed that interface professionally through a CM relationship
Open to travel to Taiwan
Clear English communication as the technical interface between Palo Alto and Taiwan; Mandarin or Taiwanese communication a plus
The salary for this position ranges from $225,000 - $265,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, and location.
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 passionate about helping the world find a better way to get there—wherever it is you’re headed.
We’re located in the heart of Silicon Valley and have brought together a world-class team from some of the biggest brands in the technology, automotive, cycling, outdoor recreation and retail spaces.
Together we’re working hands-on to imagine, design and build an entirely new solution to a global set of transportation challenges.
Born out of Rivian. Building the world's best small EVs.
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.
