India-based EV scooter maker with integrated hardware, software, and charging infrastructure
Ather Energy manufactures electric scooters and builds charging infrastructure across India using a hardware-software integrated approach. The tech stack reveals deep embedded-systems maturity: CAD tools (CATIA, NX, SOLIDWORKS), real-time OS and firmware layers (Yocto, Linux Kernel, RTOS), hardware protocols (CAN, I2C, UART, GPIO), and automotive-grade tooling (Teamcenter for PLM). Hiring velocity is accelerating with a manufacturing-heavy org (13 manufacturing roles + 10 ops roles) focused on process control—root-cause analysis, test automation, CAPA, and cycle-time reduction dominate the project list, signaling scaling challenges in production and quality.
Notable leadership hires: Chief of Staff
Ather Energy designs and manufactures electric scooters for the Indian market under the Ather 450 and Ather Rizta product lines, combined with proprietary charging infrastructure (public and private), accessories, and ownership plans.
